Elisa: Thank God that Hollywood started to accept a woman with a few curves. I know that I am not the only one that got caught up with the obsession of being thin. It became such a daily part of our lives as actresses, stay skinny, or you won't get the part. It made me very sick, and I am glad that the trend has turned.
