Lilly From Princess Diaries Is Beyond Gorgeous In Real Life

Heather Matarazzo may not fit the mold of what is typically considered beautiful and glamourous in Hollywood. She told After Ellen in 2006 that she doesn't consider herself to be "that pretty girl next door." However, after revealing in a 2015 blog post that she was let go from a film when she was younger because she was told that she wasn't "f***able." 

"I can still feel the pain, shame, and humiliation that came over me in that moment," she wrote. "This is a part that I had been so excited to play. She was bold, witty, sarcastic, sexy, but more importantly, she had a deeper vulnerability underneath. She had layers, she was complex."

Matarazzo has since realized that she has plenty of admirable (and enviable) qualities. "I had to look at my gorgeous face, with my piercing blue eyes, my pouty lips, small chin, slightly crooked nose, full teeth and smile. I had to really look at myself and see my beauty," she said. Her conclusion: "I was indeed, not only f***able, but f***ing beautiful." 

She said that personal epiphany marked a turning point in her career. "The roles I started to get called in for were women who were 'beautiful, confident, secure', they were complex, they had bite, they had depth."
