Tracee Ellis Ross is a perfect example of a woman not needing to be beautiful to be successful.

That's not true. Michael Douglas clearly benefited from being Kirk Douglas's son, even though his brothers did not have his success. Same with Mia Farrow being for being the daughter of Maureen Sullivan and John Farrow, even though that did not help Tisa as much.
Nepotism will get you in the door, but then you have to have talent or ability of your own to be a true success. Even so, it DOES initially get your name in front of other people.

As a biracial kid, that's only half the theory - the other half is that we're ugly or "weird" looking and no in between (which is absurd - Tracee herself IMO).

@R70; She gave her kids the last name of Ross to use because "Ross" carries much more clout and influence than "Silberstein" and "Naess." Diana Ross wanted whoever were dealing with her kids to know where they were coming from and the power that was behind them.
The story goes that she wanted to name her daughter after the spice chutney but spelled it incorrectly and thus Chudney became and remained as her name.

I've known of two situations where people found out the fathers who raised them weren't their biological fathers. One of them was my cousin's daughter. When the daughter was 14 when she found out my cousin wasn't her biological father. My cousin and his wife divorced shortly after. His daughter didn't meet her biological father until she was 20. She doesn't view the bio dad as a father figure and they have a friend type relationship. He didn't attend her wedding and her kids don't call the bio dad "grandpa".
The other situation was with a friend whose situation was to similar to that of my cousin's and he was 12 when he found out the truth about his paternity. But, in his case he met his biological father right away and they became very close which caused a lot of issues with the dad who raised him and there are still issues going on today because the legal father is dying of ALS and has cut my friend out of his will.

I had my fill of comedy like The Office that’s based on making people uncomfortable and mugging at the camera a long time ago but that seems to be all the Millennial generation wants.

R133, you're right. Straight women tear down other women's looks too. It's a weird phenomenon to me, since looks are the result of the genetics lottery.

If you'd ever seen the film LIFE SUPPORT Tracee has this confrontation with Queen Latifah's character how her parents were drug addicts and that she had to raise her younger brother (Played by Evan Ross) and steal diapers and formula.
Thought it was funny that Diana's daughter had to steal. She just didn't ring true as urban working class.
The film is excellent. It's about AIDS and how it affects the female African American community in New York. The ending made me cry. The woman that Queen latifah plays is hiv-positive and is still alive educating people about safe sex.

OP, Tracee has personality and that can make you attractive if you aren't a classic beauty. The opposite can be true, too. A pretty person without charm can easily become unappealing after she opens her mouth. Example: Anna Nicole Smith.

Did Tracee do her own singing in "The High Note?"

Tracee Ellis Ross Says It Was 'Terrifying' to Sing as Diana's Daughter: 'I Could Be Taken Down' The actress — whose new movie The High Note is available on-demand May 29 — says the idea of being compared to her mother Diana Ross was "terrifying"
"The best place to listen to music is in the car, of course."
Tracee Ellis Ross is telling the story of when her mother heard her sing for the first time — which was only earlier this year and for the new movie The High Note. Her mother, of course, is Diana Ross, so that would make anyone a little nervous.
"There’s a reason I waited 47 years to let my voice out publicly!" the black-ish star tells PEOPLE in this week's issue. "It was my childhood dream to sing — but terrifying when your mother is who my mother is. The idea of comparison; that’s in a child’s mind or an adult’s mind. I could be taken down and obliterated."
But it was time. So, Tracee drove over to Diana’s house. "We sat in my car in her driveway." Tracee played the song "Love Myself."
"It felt like bringing her my heart," Tracee remembers. Diana, 76, asked Tracee to play the song again. "And then my mother said, 'Finally. Finally.'" Tracee felt the same way. "I have wanted to sing for so long. My mom teared up and we just kept looking at each other. We were both so excited. My mom has always known I could sing. There have been gentle nudges over the years, so this was a big moment."
Tracee has had a longer career than most people realize. While she found major stardom on black-ish in 2014, she has been working since she was 17. (She’s technically a model-turned-TV-host-turned-actress-turned beauty mogul; she launched Pattern Beauty last year, offering products for "curly, coily, tightly textured hair.") Now, well, she’s been given an opportunity to take stock.
Since sheltering at home — "I’m on the good side of this, I know I’m fortunate"— Tracee has had a moment to reflect on the opportunity this film has given her.
"Singing was terrifying and invigorating and the most fun I’ve ever had with my clothes on," she says. "You tell yourself you want to do something and then you dive in and are, like, 'What the hell have I done!!?'" Tracee laughs. "This movie was just the perfect thing to allow me to face the fear of singing. And to realize that me singing has nothing to do with my mom. It’s my voice. This was me telling my own truth."
And if you’re wondering, yes Tracee wants to sing with her mom, Diana. "Wouldn’t that be fun? It would also be fun to do a duet with my brother Evan Ross, my sister Rhonda Ross, and my step-sister Leona Naess. They are all singers too. For God’s sake, while we are at it, I could also do a duet with Rihanna, John Legend, Childish Gambino… Shall I go on? Looks like I want a future in this singing thing."

She was so cute when she shyly sang with her mother a few years ago. Diana looked so proud of her.

I smell bullshit when kids of movie stars or famous singers claim that their famou parent never knew how well they could sing or act. Jason Gould pulled the same BS when he recorded the duet with Babs. They both claimed that Babs never knew he could sing. Yeah, right.

It's no nepotism. She's only become truly famous in her 40s. And Diana Ross has not been relevant in pop culture since the early 1980s.

Les here - I think she is very attractive. I am very attractive to those strong sorts of faces - Lisa Edelstein is another one. I remember a story she told about being mistaken for a tranny in Thailand, lol.
I tend to find those women more attractive as they get older too. 45-50 they hit their stride.
I even find older Joan Crawford attractive.

To be fair to TER which actress of her generation or the ones after have the glamor of Diana Ross or other stars of that era? Diana is a star in the old school sense of the term. Almost no one has that kind of appeal or glamor anymore.

Her eyes are close together and it's accentuated by the red outlines in the inner corners of her eyes (OP's photo). She could micro blade some "hair" on her forehead to round out her face, which is long.
She has a nice, tall, slim figure and nice style as well.
