But also, J. Hud being AfAm helps. Larger women are much more acceptable in our community than in the wider one.
I can't think of any average-sized/curvy/thick leading ladies, up-front stars that are white. You have white larger celebrities, but they are generally character actresses (Kathy Bates, Camryn Manheim, Marisa Jaret Winokur) or comedic performers with poor style reps (Rosie O'Donnell, Roseanne Barr, Kirstie Alley). Liv Tyler and Kate Winslet don't count.
