Naaah.  Many celebs look BETTER with plastic-parts, rather than their old wooden parts....

Especially faces--- too many "celebrities" with wooden faces as it is.

My favorite kind?  Those that are ONLY "famous" BECAUSE THEY ARE FAMOUS!

Partial Hilty-something-something?  Anyway, HER.

I wonder if celeb faces feel like hot silicon--sort of sticky and soft and weird.

Easiest way to find out should be the wetting test. That has the advantage that one has not to come in direct contact.

(No, that's not communism, that's common sense-isim. Most celebs want the adulation as much or more than the money.)

Last when men were real men, when women were real women, and when small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri were real small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri Post

The golden age, when stars could act
The silver age, when the US provided the stars and the UK the actors
The tin age, when special effects took over plot and acting but some actors did their own stunts
The coming age, when the stars of old are revived by (tech) wizardry and most current actors and stars go into unemployment because they can't compete (at least as far as quality is concerned)

preemptive edit: and before those furry creatures turned into Ewoks

[Bob in a quantum-state-of-faith]

Some day, a prospective actor will "sign up" with a studio, to sell his/her visage, words, and such.

They will go into that studio, and read a series of standard texts and walk a series of standard walks, and move in a series of standard moves.

All will be recorded and digitized in the extreme.

Then, the actor will be paid, and that will be that.

Their persona will be managed inside of huge (in computation, not in size) digital machines, manipulated to say whatever the director desires, in whatever mode is needed for the script.

Nudity will be common-place, because it won't be the "real" nude bodies of the actors-- just digitized "realizations".

Gone will be the occasional mole, wart, scar or other imperfection.  Also gone will be the occasional droopy body-part, the bit of roll-of-flesh, the "see, we're human too" parts.

All idealized in a Perfect Rendition.

Then..... after many years of THAT.....

.... a revolution.  Film WITH warts, fat-rolls, droopy-bits, grey hair, balding heads, deliberately re-inserted, in a "return" to "real" cinema. 

But, alas, not with real actors, I'm afraid.
