means seeing everything magnified many
times over, right down to thenosehairs.
Actress Catherine Bell, who starred in
the CBSmilitary legal series
JAG
andwho
is now in Lifetime’s
Army Wives
, recently
purchased a 63-inch high-def set for the
media room in her Los Angeles home. She
finds the clarity stunning — and unnerv-
ing. Stunning towatch; unnerving because
she knows that itwill beher up there being
watched.
“The vanity side of it is that inHD,
[
you
]
see
everything
,” Bell says, slowing down
for emphasis. “So all I’m thinking when
I’mwatching my big screen in HD is that
if you’re having a bad-skin day — if your
makeup isdonepoorly, if it’s a littleblotchy,
if youhad a latenight— viewerswill see it,
and big time. What’s scary is when I hear
thatHD actually revealsmore than thehu-
man eye. Can you imagine?”
