Anyone can badmouth anything and they can change too. Life is change and growth. Frieda owes NO allegiance to a system that would have dumped her on the crap pile. NO ONE owes jack to anyone, country. parents job whatEVER that wishes them ill.
And Frieda got as lucky as Blake Lively or Amanda Seyfried or any of a thousand white girls who got lucky in America and had 15 minute roles in big budget pictures. Trouble is no one runs them down for not starring in bloody Mildren Pierce and WE would be justified to do so since we MAKE films like Mildred Pierce here---that would be films that ride on the shoulders of a female character and demand more than a bloody ton of makeup and the ability to look 20 and fit the fashion of the times---which last time I looked all came down to LUCK.
Honestly you don't think a woman's physical conformity to the fashion of her time and place denote some specialized training or scholarship do you?
It's ALL luck at the outset...it's what you do with that luck afterward that seperates the girls from the women, and Frieda is using her chance to the utmost. Looks like the girl has SOME smarts at least.
And by the way---why are people falling over themselves to denegrate Frieda and put her opportunities down to "luck" when they don't do the same for any broad who has the pre-birth "luck" to have her Indian parent sleep with a white person and either impregnate or get pregnant by them?'
Being born half white is LUCK and totally out of the hands of the person in question...but oddly...no one mentions that little happenstance as being luck, even while those people are having opportunities THROWN at them left and right for something as far out of their control as whom their parents bedded.
Interesting...
