I've been working as an actress and sort of struggling along for ten years, so I've been on a million auditions for a million things I haven't booked.
As an actress, I should be playing my parts with conviction; otherwise, the audience won't be convinced.
When you have 20 nominations - 20 names on the nomination list of best actor, supporting actor and actress, etc., and there's absolutely no representation of color whatsoever, I think that's a subset of perhaps a bigger problem.
As an actress I knew I had to control my weight gain somehow as any director or producer would like to sign in a svelte actress.
