The camera never lies

Isn’t it amazing that even though they say the camera never lies, that’s wrong. When the actor who played Elaine in “Seinfeld” was pregnant, she never appeared so on camera. They always photographed her sitting down, or from the waist up, or from an angle which wouldn’t show that she was pregnant. I’m watching a program at the moment where an actor is obviously pregnant (some months and definitely bulging) but has made the decision not to tell anyone, and in every shot she is wearing a duffel coat. No-one seems to notice that she is pregnant – not even her partner of many years (from whom she has recently become estranged). Ah … television.
