The portrait representation of Betty Crocker has changed over the years to keep up with current styles. I identify with the 1972-1980 Betty best since that’s who was(is) on my mom’s most-used cookbook. This fictional character has her own weekly column, radio show, and, of course, web site. When the creation of “digital actors” reaches a certain level of quality, will characters like Betty Crocker be commissioned as fully directable, 3D, digital representations from places like Protozoa? Just imagine, soon a digital Betty Crocker can duke it out with a digital Martha Stewart (can’t you see Martha commissioning an artificially intelligent avatar to keep her empire going when her mortality catches up with her?).
