Going to be interviewed for a beginners acting class? What to expect?

No - you are an "aspiring" actress, since I do not know you well enough to know if you would "inspire" me to do anything. Ask the agent if freckles etc are acceptable - the agent will actually have experience of placing people in acting roles. Your friend probably heard a story from a friend, who heard it from a friend, who heard....... Or maybe your friend is jealous of your progress so far.

And, as others say - have you never seen a movie or stage play and observed the wide variety of appearances of actors?

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
