I was reading the other day about a guy named Ron Lister who in the 90's and early 2000's was cast a lot of the fat happy guy. he was in Varsity Blues and on a TV show etc. He was getting roles left and right. Then he got gastric bypass and had many problems from it, but eventually lost about 350 pounds. He looks like a completely different person. He said it is like starting all over again. He might as well be a new actor in town.
I have a feeling she might feel the same way. Being how she is has gotten her an Oscar nomination and a lot of work. She may not be in a hurry to change.
