Molly Ringwald as Sweet Charity? — Page 3

Gee ... I hope you all can sleep well when you find out Molly's eyes are coused by a medical condition.

Aren't you all so funny now???

I still say it's probably her contacts. I only wear them when absolutely necessary. I have a tilted axis in my left eye and soft lenses can't correct it, so I can never see clearly if I use them. Gas perm lenses hurt my eyes. So if I do wear contacts, especially when acting, I have to be completely conscious of them all the time because it is more difficult to see than when wearing glasses. Especially at night.

I don't want to see Molly Ringwald do that show.

No thyroid condition to the best of my knowledge and I looked it up. And just to clarify, I originally said she didn't look up to playing Charity after seeing her at the Tonys.

I never was making fun of a possible medical condition or even poking fun of her. I was just concerned over casting a celebrity (note I did not say "star") over a veteran Broadway hoofer who could be given her chance to shine on a Charity Tour. I may have been critical, but I don't feel I was being cruel. Reviewers would write far worse things than I have written if given the chance.

"A medical condition that makes you look constantly surprised? Do tell.... "

Yes. It's called Thyroid Eye Disease (TED). I'm not suggesting Molly Ringwald has it. Just letting you know there is such a thing. Here's an article
