MODERATOR'S NOTE: Please can all of theFashionSpot's forum members remind themselves of the Forum Rules. Thank you.
Let's hear it for the women!
Elle's Women in Hollywood issue (available on newsstands Oct. 16) celebrates nine women who have made significant contributions to the film industry.
This year's honorees are Sarah Jessica Parker, Octavia Spencer, Cate Blanchett, Kristen Wiig, Uma Thurman, Elle Fanning, Emma Watson, Shirley MacLaine and Susan Sarandon.
Here's a sneak peek at what Parker, Spencer, Watson and Fanning said about their personal lives, careers and making it as a woman in Hollywood:
Emma Watson
"I just knew, from the moment I read Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone that I was meant to play that role," she says of the character Hermione Granger. "I put one of the Potter films on the other night. And it was amazing to me that I had done all of that. I have to remind myself every now and then."
Elle Fanning, Emma Watson to Be Honored at Women in Hollywood Awards
The fashionable event will also honor Shirley MacLaine, Sarah Jessica Parker, Octavia Spencer and Uma Thurman.
The 19th Annual Women in Hollywood Celebration will take place this year at the Four Seasons Beverly Hills Hotel on Monday, Oct. 15.

These nominees join a prestigious list of previous honorees incuding, Jennifer Aniston, Viola Davis, Michelle Pfeiffer, Freida Pinto, Stacey Snider, Barbra Streisand, Naomi Watts, Evan Rachel Wood and Elizabeth Olsen.
^You work at ELLE!?
I think it's a great photo, her face reminds me of Twiggy at times.
^^ rustyforareason - please tell us that she isn't actually perfect... otherwise it would just be too unfair...
I can't really talk about the work that was done on the images specifically.
I think it's safe to say that you CAN trust the paparazzi/candid photos of her. ;P
Clothing-choices aside, I think most paparazzi/candid photos of her show her as someone who has mostly clear skin and really petite.. The impression I get comparing her paparazzi/candid photos to her photoshoot photos is that they usually don't really do much work on her photoshop-wise (no drastic changes in most of her photoshoots).. Did you mean something along those lines or am I completely off the mark?![]()

Again, Emma is NOT petite and certainly not "really petite". SHE'S 5'6' PEOPLE!![]()
^Sheesh, what's there to be angry about? When I say "petite", I'm not just talking about height but her overall frame. When she's papped around other people (aside from when she's with her friend, Amy), she looks like the smallest person in those paparazzi/candid photos. And I'm also going on what people who have met her said: small frame, shorter than expected, small ribcage, delicate wrists etc.![]()
I didn't want my posts to sound like I was overreacting *blushes* but the whole thinking about height in Hollywood needs to be shifted, and we as the public can start that.
Emma is 5' 6", which is two inches ABOVE average height for a woman. When she was photographed at the Harry Potter premieres, she almost towered over Daniel and Rupert! Yes, she was wearing platform heels like the stylists put on all actresses now whether they actually need them or not, but she did.
I was born with a genetic defect called Turner's Syndrome. One of it's physical effects is short stature-- I'm 4'10". And small otherwise too. So it's hard not to get emotional when someone above average height is called petite. Like, "If they're petite, what would you call me?" I know we're not allowed to talk about weight on these boards, so "small frame" might be the best phrase to use here.
Hope that explains things!
