Hollywood star Kristen Bell says people told her she wasn’t “pretty enough” at the start of her career, which made her think if she would make it as an actress in the industry.
“I remember early on, getting feedback, that I wasn’t enough in either category. I would get feedback from an audition: ‘Well, you’re not pretty enough to play the pretty girl, but you’re not quirky enough or weird enough to play the weird girl’,” Bell told Vanity Fair in an interview for their YouTube channel, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
The “Frozen 2” actress tried her best not to let the criticism get to her.
“I was like, ‘Okay, does that just mean I can’t be an actor? What does that mean.’ That’s what I was getting feedback on, on every audition,” she said.

Bell is ecstatic to see the industry beginning to change now, as she praised the inclusion of “dimensional” roles that don’t just stick to one type.
