You're one of my favourite posted happycanadian but I have to disagree with almost everything you're saying. Blake Lively has achieved pretty much nothing in the movie industry. She's just known for Gossip girl and that ended years ago. The only movie she's received raves for was The Town and she only had a small role in that film. I mean she's promoting a website and not a movie which hardly screams success.
She is a C-list actress at best and if you compare her to other actresses in her age group such as Scarlett Johansson, Anne Hathaway, Shailene Woodley, Emma Stone, Jennifer Lawrence, she has achieved nothing. Not even a Golden Globe nom. She only appears to get roles that every A-lister has rejected and she's not the go to girl for the hottest scripts. That's why so many people are confused at her landing so many Vogue covers and it has nothing to do with jealousy. And Green Lantern might have grossed over 100 million dollars, but it's seen as a flop for a superhero movie hence why it never even got a sequel and why Ryan Reynolds still hasn't happened.
If you want to talk about successful actresses, then any of the women listed on the cover would've been great. Amy Adams just received back to back oscar nominations and has 5 in total. Jessica Chastain is expected to have another big year with a few movies coming out and she's already received raves for The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby. And Julianne Moore is having a great comeback with success in The Hunger Games and winning the Cannes best actress award for Maps to the Stars. These are all successful women who are known for their work and actually lead movies or have substantial roles and who go out and work for them.
If they wanted a successful blonde for the cover, then Scarlett would've been perfect as she's having an amazing year with raves for Don Jon, Under the Skin and for her voice work in Her. She won critics awards just for her voice work whereas Blake couldn't get anything. And more importantly, her new movie Lucy is on track for a 40 million dollar opening and hardly any women led movies open that big. That is major news! Very few women have had movies sold on their name open that big.
