I'm so tired of journalists writing about (usually female) actors who wanted to be scientists/engineers/astronauts, but became highly paid, well-groomed actors instead This line of discussion is not clever; it is uninteresting and insulting to real scientists, who often can't find the time to squeeze in a haircut. Being a scientist is hard--you must love the process, because, unlike in the movies, Eureka! moments are rare. Who cares that Portman wanted to be an astronaut when she was a child? She decided she'd rather play one on TV.
