she's credited in the byline
- rythie 13y agoYes - but you miss that because it's not normally important - i.e. it's no one you've heard of.
- disputin 13y agoBreast cancer is more important in "someone important, like an actor"?
- dsr_ 13y agoMore people will think about it because more people think about her physical appearance.
- jergosh 13y agoIt's a braver decision from someone who depends on their looks for livelihood. Also creates a mindset "if she could do it, then so could I"
- disputin 13y agoI'd expect it's less brave for someone from an industry and social circles comfortable with implants, injections scalpels, etc, and with a bit more than a "livelihood" to ease the experience. The experience would surely be more foreign to the average woman, requiring more bravery. Angelina isn't dependent on the look of her breasts for her "livelihood". 87% risk is a no brainer.
- jergosh 13y agoIt's easy to talk about 'no-brainers' in the abstract. A different story if it's your own favourite bit.
- rythie 13y agoI'm sure there's something in that they are famous yes, people have some sort of empathy with celebrities because they feel they kind-of know them through films, books and press over the years. It's not quite the same when it's someone you don't know at all.
- meatsock 13y agoas a lifelong newspaper reader i check the byline. i'd argue knowing who the author is is normally important, especially in the case of op-eds.
- ritchiea 13y agoAgreed. I can't imagine not checking the byline. It's even more valuable now than ever before because we can check the byline and Google the author if it's an unfamiliar name.
