Okay there’s just one, Lacey Nicole Chabert (September 30, 1982, Purvis, Mississippi), nuff said. She shouldn’t be that attractive, she just is. She’s equal to 10 mortal women. I watch her in all those Hallmark movies. Sure she’s not nineteen anymore, but just as smoking in a different way.

In Hallmark’s ‘My Secret Valentine‘ (Andrew Walker as “Handyman”) there’s a scene towards the end of the film where they eat carryout in the truck down at the beach at sunset. Unlike most American film they used mostly natural light in that scene. The golden light was so warm and caressing to her features (okay it even helped Andy). It reminded me of another film, one from 1950 called, ‘Annie Get Your Gun‘ with Betty Hutton and Howard Keel. There’s a scene where the 2 are outside on the end of the train about to kiss at sunset. I think they’re supposed to be going through Arizona or Oklahoma at twilight. Its hard to explain great light. You see it a lot more in French and Italian films. Now in Lacey’s film, it completely enhanced her appearance, if that’s possible (but then she could shave her head and get out of bed without makeup and be the most beautiful woman in Hollywood). I’ll put an example of neat light below. Its not the same light as in the film, but it gives you an idea. There are photographers who won’t shoot outdoors after 10 am, or before 5 pm. Its the angle of the light, its the temperature of the light, its the color of the light. Its affected by the type and amount of clouds its coming through. If its bouncing off water, snow or sand. The humidity, the amount of trees. ‘Sounder‘ (1972) also had some great light.
