Zooey Deschanel Is No Manic Pixie Dream Girl, She's A Woman

Zooey Deschanel is no "manic pixie dream girl."

The actress recently opened up to The Guardian about being viewed as quirky and whimsical due to her roles in 500 Days of Summer and The New Girl.

She said of the trope, "I don't feel it's accurate. I'm not a girl. I'm a woman."

She added, "It doesn't hurt my feelings, but it's a way of making a woman one-dimensional and I'm not one-dimensional."

The 42-year-old says that breaking away from the "manic pixie dream girl" stereotype has been a work in progress but added, "The more screen time a female character gets, the more space there is to show complexities, but there has been a shift, so I'm optimistic."

Hilaria Baldwin Says 'Enemies Seek To Destroy' Alec Baldwin

Hilaria Baldwin says that "enemies…seek to destroy" her husband, Alec Baldwin.

In a lengthy Instagram post shared on Wednesday (July 27th), the former yoga instructor detailed the "darker part" of being married to the former 30 Rock actor.

After writing a sweet tribute to her husband, she added, "The darker part is seeing behind the curtain at how some of this 'business' can function and the blows and sacrifices that someone in the public eye takes for speaking up for what they believe and for helping others.

"Enemies of these missions seek to destroy you, in order to delegitimize your voice and purpose. This is not a new tactic…it's as old as history…yet, how easy it is now more than ever to slander people and cherry pick and piece together strands taken out of context, "opinions", or complete fabrications. And how some people believe it or stay silent out of fear."

The couple is currently expecting their seventh child together.
