With the case of the woman whose significant other told her clients to stay away from her, that doesn't sound like looks ruined her career that sounds like a crazy SO ruined her career.
I think that it depends on the type of job. The two women interviewed for positions where a pleasing physical appearance is an additional asset. I definitely think that there are many positions where employers would favor physical appearance over experience.
I also think that there are certain types of jobs where attractiveness can actually work against you. For instance, many folks have difficulty believe that beautiful women can also be smart. So that, for instance, in my field as an academic, some might find it difficult to take my research seriously because of my physical appearance (I have been told that I am not an unattractive person) not to mention my race, my gender, my age. It it difficult to gage how much I have encountered this because I am early in my career, but I am aware of instances where this has been the case.
