Yes, bony actresses are sometimes targeted for ridicule in the media, but don’t be fooled — the pressure to look thin is fiercer than ever.Perhaps it’s a sign of Hollywood’s readjusted eye that whenever an average-size woman — a Jennifer Hudson or an America Ferrera — bursts into the limelight, there’s the predictable magazine frenzy over robust women who still manage to be successful, who are not going to commit hari-kari over being a size 10. Of course, in the cases of Hudson and Ferrara, their curves were specific to the roles they broke out in — in fact they became a shorthand for their character’s feistiness, for their willingness to defy the expected norms of their environments.  Source: LA Times
