Which actress has experienced prejudice firsthand?

 Gwyneth Paltrow — Shallow Hal →

Sometimes, actors go through emotional traumas that go far beyond the costume.

Gwyneth Paltrow experienced the prejudice that obese people often feel, and she felt quite uncomfortable.

“On the first day I tried on the plus-size costume, I was in a hotel and I walked through the lobby. It was very sad. It was so disturbing. Nobody made eye contact with me because I was obese. I felt humiliated because people were really dismissive,” the actress stated.
