Carol Baum is an experienced Hollywood producer known for her work on films like the 1988 David Cronenberg’s “Dead Ringers”. She recently sparked controversy with her comments about Sydney Sweeney’s acting skills and looks.
Carol Baum’s controversial remarks were made at a screening of “Dead Ringers” at the Jacob Burns Center in Pleasantville, New York. Baum allegedly criticized Sweeney’s performance in the film “Anyone but You”, which she co-starred with Glen Powell, calling it “unwatchable”. Furthermore, she reportedly said she did not understand the hype around Sweeney, questioning her acting abilities and physical appearance.
Scott Sedita, Sweeney’s acting coach, responded to Baum’s comments in a statement to TMZ. He praised Sweeney’s acting skills and physical appearance, emphasizing her inner depth, intellect, compassion, and style.

Representatives for Sydney Sweeney also responded to Baum’s comments, calling them “shameful”.
