Most of Hollywood these days is just a bunch of half talented good looking faces. It’s nice therefore to once in a while come across a performer that seems to have all the tools needed to actually make a name for themselves. Piper Perabo is one of those performers.
The only redeeming thing about the painful and horribly misleading titled Coyote Ugly was Perabo. She demanded that you take notice of her. She’s incredibly attractive, gives off a truly likable aura, projects a dynamite smile and seems to have that “can’t help but love her” Julia Roberts quality. She brightens up a screen with her presence.
However, dispite everything mentioned above, Piper has yet to really break into Hollywood’s “B” list (lest alone “A” list). Most people wouldn’t even know she has a significant role in Cheaper by the Dozen with Steve Martin. Her name carries so little weight that she’s not mentioned in the marketing at all. For the life of me I can’t imagine why that is.
So what is it that’s holding her back? Has she just not snagged the right part yet? Is there some glaring weakness in her talent? Are people sick of the Julia Roberts type? What is it? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
