I just feel like saying:
Toni Collette isn't fat in In Her Shoes.
Ginnifer Goodwin isn't fat in Mona Lisa Smile.
Fat Betty is...well, I don't know what she is, but she isn't fat (Mad Men).Thanks!

I watched In Her Shoes the other day actually and I was also wtf-ing at the notion that she was anything other than thin. Thanks for this.
ReplyDeleteYou know who else isn't fat? Martine McCutcheon in Love, Actually. What's with all the fat hate in that movie?
ReplyDeleteoh geez that's a really good one. I don't know that I can resist adding it...would you mind?
DeletePlease do! Every Christmas I feel like writing an open letter to Love, Actually. Dear Love, Actually: WTF?
DeleteHaha. Done and done. It's always really bothered me (bothering me thinking about it now) - good example.
DeleteAnne Hathaway isn't fat in The Devil Wears Prada, even compared to all the "skinny" fashion mag girls...
ReplyDeleteMovie/TV "fat" is ridiculous. And when they do actually have an actress that is on the fat side, they act like she's the most humongous thing in the world. It's ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteThis is so depressingly commonplace, there's even a trope for it on TV Tropes: Hollywood Pudgy

It's so much later, but I'm a new reader (hi!) and can't resist adding my favorite: Ginnifer Goodwin isn't fat in Mona Lisa Smile. It took me and my sister and my best friend literally the entire movie to figure out why they were treating her like a social pariah with no dating prospects, and it was I who finally twigged: "Oh! She's supposed to be fat!" and the unconvincingness of her fatness was such that I was not immediately believed.
ReplyDeleteoh that's a good one!! (and hi back). Am gonna see if I can get a good screen grab for that -- thank you!
DeleteMad Men hasn't had the most convincing padding, when Peggy started gaining weight, she was able to fit into one of Joan's dresses and it was still loose on her (granted Joan is taller and bustier).
ReplyDeleteSome of them I want to say they had weight issues and didn't lose the mental angst even after the weight lost.
Minnie Driver is just big-boned (literally).
Plus RZ and Martine and Kim would fit in on Mad Men
