So...why Sela Ward?

Not too long ago a fellow blogger, a peer and near-contemporary of actor/ex-model/ex-cheerleader Sela Ward, wondered, close paraphrase, Why are all men so crazy about her, anyway?



Well, aside from her talent, beauty (which by me peaked in the years she was doing the rather mixed bag of a series Sisters and such films as The Fugitive, and hasn't eroded much since) and demonstrated intelligence, she also has a persona, which often comes through in her roles as well as her interviews, that suggests she's the kind of woman who might cheerfully consider sleeping with a man she might meet, if circumstances were propitious (such as if she wasn't already apparently happily married)...or at least becoming friendly acquaintances...and actually might enjoy talking with him just about as much or at least along with the physical intimacies (and she comes across as one who wouldn't feel threatened by other women, either). She comes across, in other words, as adult, and not guarded (a quality understandably common in either the conventionally pretty or the famous), and certainly sensible and friendly--not always true, frequently not true, of women who've had similar careers.



Simple as that.
