This story actually has a pretty good point.

“not much correlation” sounds like an empirical claim that someone’s probably tested at some point. Anyone have the actual results?

First thing I found: https://webspace.utexas.edu/hamermes/www/HappinessBeauty.pdf


Says a 1 SD increase in beauty predicts about a 0.1 SD increase in happiness, however these researchers measured it. Honestly that’s a bit less than I’d have expected.

“You know, in all seriousness: everyone got hurt on this movie, everyone was scarred, everyone went through a little bit of physical kind of pain. But if you’re talking about something life-changing… something huge, you know, something that really had a deep effect on all of us - not only the person it happened to, but the crew and most of the Western hemisphere - Orlando breaking his rib was huge.” Dominic Monaghan

wotcher-doctor: squeetown: Jason Isaacs: I remember my very first day, I improvised a line. I had my first day, probably my first shot, I had to kind of flounce out of a room when Dumbledore, played by the late, great Richard Harris, put me in my place, and there was no line written, no exit line. And I’d been humiliated, and my plan had come to nothing. And I said to Chris Columbus, “Don’t you think there should be a line?” And he said, “Well, say something. Say whatever you like.” So we did another take, and I hadn’t told anyone what I was going to do. And as I turned to leave, I looked at Daniel, and I said, “Let us hope Mr. Potter will always be around to save the day.” And then Daniel, who was all of 12, stepped right up to me, looked me right in the eye, and said “Don’t worry. I will be.” A chill went down my spine. And as he did it, I thought, “Christ, this kid is good.” This is the part in the Harry Potter issue of Entertainment Weekly, when Jason tells this story, that I started to cry. One of the most iconic lines in the whole of the series was improvised. By a 12-year-old boy.
