"I auditioned for things where I knew I killed the audition. I knew I did," she told The Times. "'It was like, 'Oh, should I give you my sizes now, or...?' And they would call up and say, 'We just don't think that a doctor would look like that.' I would be embarrassed to even say that out loud."

she's in a profession where looks are literally the most important part

if she doesn't like that, maybe she should consider switching careers

And there's the problem
that the casting people think a doctor's body should look a certain way, and it could never be a curvy woman who becomes a doctor

You don't see the problem as it is, so I doubt you'll have a change of heart after this though

If he wasn't okay with it I doubt he'd be so loose and crass about it

but you're right, I assumed.

sure

but there's nothing wrong with what christina hendricks is doing

which is calling to attention the broader problem america/hollywood has with body image
she's a professional, i'm sure she understood

but I can imagine it gets grating to know you didn't get a job because someone thought you look too curvy to be intelligent enough to be a doctor

or something like that

She's got some nice boobs but that's about it.

Shit sucks sometimes and you can either deal with it or blame other people and do nothing. Same thing happened with Jessica Biel but she's still out there working.

Casting responds to marketing and marketing is just what ppl want.

So blame the viewing public

Not JUST that.

I mean yes, already bad that they looked at leaked pics she took for herself or for someone else.

But that they casually discuss parts of her body that she never exposed to/for them. And one guy was even complaining about her body.

It's not just gross for reasons listed above but

That a guy sees a topic about a woman and first thing he talks about is her nudes/her breast size. So yes.

To be fair, she denied that it's her picture (others like Jennifer Lawrence and Kaley Cuoco didn't deny their pictures) and there's no face in it. We could be fawning over a picture of someone completely different!

So? If you're making a film you control every aspect of it. The physical appearance of your actors is not an exception.

This kind of reminds me of how, lately, we have folks shitting on female characters in games because they're too curvy or have boobs that are too big. Like the character design is ridiculous if the breast size is over a B-cup.

Sounds like Christina Hendrick suffers from narcissism:
"I auditioned for things where I knew I killed the audition. I knew I did,"

I think you mistook self-esteem for narcissism. Easy to do around here.

Or maybe she didn't nail it as much a she thinks she did. Even if she did she wasnt there for every other girls audition.

Which is all irrelevant, it's show business. If you don't look line what the director is invisioning you aren't gonna get the part. Unless you're a giant star who can sell a film. That's the career you signed up for

I'm 100% sure I could act better than the majority of any given supporting cast.

I've never gone out to audition but if I did and was rejected are you really gonna start bitching about how the industry is unfair to me?
