I have no idea who that is.

I get some people don’t like Maggie Gyllenhaal. She doesn’t have “stunning leading lady “ good looks, but she is an attractive woman

. I’m surprise nobody said Kirsten Dunst. Certainly not the worst, I would still say that’s Barbra Streisand,.

Categorically wrong on both counts.

To be fair, Kelly McGillis hasn’t aged very well at all. But she had a window where life was treating her well.

I’ll second Kirsten Dunst. And add Julia Stiles. For whatever reason both of them annoyed the fire outta me.

In what movies do any of these actresses play a "love interest"? Adventureland, maybe?

The name of the thread is not "people I'm personally not attracted to."

They made Sex and the City movies, so Sarah Jessica Parker is the winner by a landslide.

My point was that a leading performance or protagonist character cannot, by definition, be a love interest.

In the case of Sarah Jessica Parker, I'm sure there are plenty of movies in which she is the love interest, but the satc movies ain't an example.

And, I feel that SJP in the late 80s and early 90s invalidates her from this thread.

There was a brwif period in the early-mid 90s where Drew Barrymore was actually quite cute. Think Wayne's World 2 and Letterman birthday flash era. By the late 90s, however, it was all over. Even by the Wedding Singer it was gone.

Can't speak to her

She was the love interest in Twilight. And while her acting is terrible, she isn't unattractive.

Trainwreck.
And she is hideous!

This is my winner. Followed very closely by Sarandon & Streisand.

Not that I'm saying Maggie Gyllenhaal is hot, but Chris Nolan really did a disservice to her by using her to replace Katie Holmes. Of course everyone thinks Katie Holmes is adorable and a worthy love interest for Batman. Maggie Gyllenhaal is bang on average in comparison. He should've gotten somebody that's a true 9 like Rachel Mcadams or Natalie Portman to replace Holmes, but Gyllenhaal is a noticeable downgrade in looks. Not her fault, she's a pretty decent actress. But we all still noticed that Batman's taste went from an 8.5 to a 5 real quick with no explanation or acknowledgement.

At the time she was passable.

But knowing what we know now...yeah.

She was a weird so-called sex symbol in the 80's - even when she nuded up in Witness people were like...ehh? Her boobs were in different time zones.

Nah, gonna have to give her a pass with that.

BTW, AURaptor, that's Lady Gaga, and from A Star Is Born.

No, she's not gorgeous at all, but she fit the role perfectly. Cooper's character was drawn to her talent, not her looks.
