Behavioral Analysis and the Dramatic Arts; Or, Not All Famous Actors Are Morons
If I may break cover as an ardent reader of TV Guide, this item recounts that actress/singer Kristin Chenoweth was ticked off by a (silly) article in Newsweek arguing that gay actors can't believably play straight men, and sent off a sternly critical response. I wouldn't normally link to this kind of thing, but I must note that this is the first instance I've seen of a Tony- and Emmy-Award-winning actor referring to the phenomenon of "confirmation bias."Posted by Paul Horwitz on May 10, 2010 at 03:21 PM in Paul Horwitz | Permalink

I believe she also refers to "selection bias." Proof that KC took a statistics class or two.
