    When I was a flight attendant for Air New Zealand, we flew Melanie back to Los Angeles from Auckland New Zealand. It was her birthday the day we arrived into LA. I had the crew fill out a birthday card for her and we presented it to her just before we began our descent. She was so touched and genuinely Moved by the gesture. She made sure she spoke with every flight attendant, and thanked them for their kindness and their thoughtful gesture. Just a lovely lovely woman who deserve all the success coming her way!

    I don't understand why they are discussing body shaming; she has a perfectly normal body!

      I absolutely agree with you, but Hollywood places such unrealistic expectations on actresses. Sad.

      @HK-gm8pe Год назад +5

      soo silly and unnecessary...Shauna is one of the most complex abd inrteresting characters in the show...I think its just sad that some people only look persons appearance,,,in my opinion weight is the least important thing....whats inside is the most important

  • @susannorman8549

    I just watched her in episodes 4 and 5 of HBO's The Last Of Us and am confused as to why there was no mention of this role. But I am going to try Yellowjackets after finishing The Last of Us. I had no idea this was the same actress that was in Heavenly Creatures years ago. She is wonderful.

    We hear the word ‘representation’ a lot but this seems to be limited a certain body type and good on people like Melanie to remind us that that limitation is both hypocritical and wrong.

    I don't think Adrienne called her fat , if this is about that incident, it was about not being believable as a character , with a fuller figure spending 20 years in a post apocalyptic world having to survive and being constantly worried about being attack by zombies, but of course victim mentality is very popular .

    Calling someone fat is a fact not body shaming. There is a reason why gluttony is the 6th deadliest sin. People also seem to forget that pride is also a sin.

    • @gracegavin
      @gracegavin Год назад +5

      Do you take pride in tearing people down like this? Yes sometimes it's a fact, the problem is when people use it as an insult. The size of your body doesn't determine your beauty and definitely not your healt - many larger people are infact healthier physically and mentally than thin people
