His website itself is interesting - check out the "Random Averages" post (http://pmsol3.wordpress.com/2011/02/12/strange-averages/ http://pmsol3.wordpress.com/2011/02/12/strange-averages/):
- the average Golden Age male actor looks similar to his modern-day counterpart, maybe a bit older going by the receding hairline
- the Golden Age actress looks somewhat different from the modern - rounder eyes, somehow? Was that the preferred look for actresses of the era? (they doesn't look like averages, though...)
- the average porn actress is blonder than the celeb
Relatedly, it seems quite natural for average faces to be attractive - all the blemishes and asymmetries and extremes get evened out, leaving a very neutral look that most people don't have. Extremes are usually not attractive, after all.
