Unfortunately, Tabrett Bethell is not a company, or at least not a company you can buy shares in. She is a starlet. Even this might not be true. A starlet is apparently a young actress promoted as being a future star. I am not sure that she is being promoted at all, but I’ll start: she will be a future star.
Currently playing in a sword and sorcery series screened in the States – Legend of the Seeker (dubbed by one wag as "Legend of the Cleavage") - she has just too much sex-appeal and charisma to remain unnoticed. Unlike many starlets, there is an intelligence in Tabrett Bethell’s eyes that, together with her phenomenal beauty, set her apart from nearly all other women on screen, big or small (screen that is...). Intelligence + sex-appeal is a sure passport to the top. I confidently predict that she will feature shortly in some major films. She and her agent are going to make lots of money.
Of course, in a couple of years, she will feature in the BBC’s Celebdaq game and you will be able to buy shares in her. But by this stage, she will be too expensive, which is sad. After all, what’s the point in discovering something and then having to wait until everyone else is in on the act and the price has quintupled before you can buy it? This sounds very mercantile of me. Just take it, like Celebdaq, with a few handfuls of salt.
Why mention her at all? I have three very good reasons for this:
The first is so that I can do some self-aggrandising “Ha! I told you so!” in a couple of years time, when she is a household name. After all, I may doubt the existence of God, but we aren’t really likely to find out one way or another any time soon, so no one will tell me how wise I was. Whereas when Taberett Bethell is famous, this post will be there in black and white.
Secondly, this blog needs more readers. As Tabrett Bethell is so far little known, there is a much better chance of this blog page coming up if anyone searches the web for her, than there is, say, if you search the name Thierry Henry, or “furniture”. So it is a subtle advertising ploy for the blog. Of course, I suspect that the sort of people who do search the web for Tabrett Bethell will find the rest of this blog completely uninteresting and thus will soon move on. But I want to see the uptick in the stats… (You will notice the clever repetition of the name Tabrett Bethell in this post, in order to convince Google that this page is extremely relevant for those looking for information about Tabrett Bethell….)
Finally, this blog needs spicing up with a little sex-appeal. There hasn’t been any at all yet, apart from the James Bond with Ursula Andress photo somewhere. It’s about time this changed.
If you are one of the roughly 95% of visitors to this blog with a dominant interest in Tabrett Bethell, you can see another post in which she features (and more pix!) here.
