Is it time for the “real appearance” or is it better to stay with “Stardust” when it comes to the screen?

HBO launched Mare of Easttown starring Kate Winslet.
Winslet, 45, wanted to realistically portray every aspect of her character in the series, and Strongly opposed the retouching that is common in Hollywood.

The Oscar winner said she knows her “unglamorous” appearance in the series is jarring for viewers — and she didn’t want it any other way. In fact, the Times reported that when director Craig Zobel said he would cut “a bulgy bit of belly” in her sex scene, Winslet objected, saying “Don’t you dare!”
Winslet also sent back a retouched promo poster, telling the outlet she knows “how many lines I have by the side of my eye” and asked the designers to put them back in.

In doing so, Winslet joins stars such as Frances McDormand (63) who are changing industry standards.
Quick reminder — Frances McDormand, appeared on the January cover of Vogue magazine with uncolored hair and a makeup-free face.

Well done to Winslet for the courage!

What do you say? let’s go real or stay with the glamorous look?
