Focus.

Kate Walsh making a leggy appearance at the ‘Get Hard’ premiere wearing an oversized double breasted jacket, flimsy silk shorts and sexy heels !!!!What a far cry from the outrageous role of an unorthodox judge in her series a couple years ago.

Katie Holmes, actress in a black Azzedine Alaïa LBD with see-through slivers !!!! What a far cry from the dangerous villain with insatiable appetites for sex in power, acquisition at any cost, and vengeance in her role in the Ray Donovan series! It was chilling and focused her portrayal. It was hard to place her good looks in light so dark was her character. What a skill.

The ability not to use one's beauty or be indifferent to it as a chameleon in a role as an actress, to me, has long been impressive. It is a strength translatable in life situations to be indifferent to features that can and do endear one to other people's admiration to focus on a task at hand important enough to benefit others.

How many times have we seen ball players inwardly, and obviously focused on how 'pretty' they are, how good they look at the expense of the game 'profiling' for attention to be drawn on their good looks losing games, making mistakes, or worse get injured injuring another in their vanity?

Self-serving is vanity. It is enough to get killed in a battlefield. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories Nov. 5, 2016
