Movie albinos
In the movies albinos are usually evil (eg The Da Vinci Code) and very rarely played by actors or actresses with albinism.
Albinism is a congenital disorder characterised by the complete or partial absence of pigment in the skin, hair and eyes due to absence or defect of an enzyme involved in the production of melanin. People with albinism can have anything from no pigment at all to almost normal levels, but most albinistic humans appear white or very pale. Their eyes are often pale blue, but there are cases in which the eyes of an albinistic person appear red or purple – the Hollywood stereotype.
