Clive Thompson in the NY Times magazine at the weekend wrote an interesting piece on how celebrities are a little fearful about HDTV. With HDTV the picture quality is better and the color range increased – which means wrinkles, acne and blotches are far more apparent.
He does suggest, however, that maybe we’ll get a more genuine version of beauty on our screens:
This will probably put an ever-higher premium on genuinely natural
beauty — those lucky few people who require virtually no touch-up.
Indeed, high-def fans say that some stars look better in the new
medium: Anna Kournikova, George Clooney and Catherine Zeta-Jones glow
like supernovas, and, Vogel says, ”in high-def, Halle Berry’s skin is
so beautiful and flawless, she’s almost a genetic freak.”
