To the editor,
I’m not oversensitive, but I took offense to Mark Palermo’s reference to Liv Tyler as “that chick from Aerosmith” in his recent review of the film The Strangers(“On screen,” June 5). Liv Tyler is not a member of Aerosmith, she is a well-known actor; one who, in my opinion, has chosen thoughtful roles and never exploited herself. To dismiss her as “that chick from Aerosmith” is erroneous and sexist. That said, if Palermo had also tagged Scott Speedman as “that dude from Felicity,” it would have been digestible.
