Amelia Tait for her newsletter The Waiting Room.“It was so exciting. It was just fun to be part of a movie – there are so few people who actually get to do that.” Paltrow was “really nice” and Black “a delightful person,” and the starlet finally felt noticed for her persona — ironically, the plot line of the film — after fighting “really hard to be seen as a personality and not just my size.”But the film’s seemingly progressive storyline – that the “obese” character wasn’t a “villain,” but rather a “cool,” “popular” girl — instead welcomed an onslaught of body-shamers who zeroed in on Snitzer’s weight.It was then that Snitzer’s taste of the limelight soured.
