Melissa McCarthy was told that she was going to have a hard time making it in the entertainment industry when she first came to Hollywood in 1996. Thankfully, this didn’t end up being the case. In 2000, she received her first big break when she was cast as the supporting character Sookie St. James in the series Gilmore Girls. The character quickly became a fan favorite. When Gilmore Girls came off the air, Melissa was given a starring role on her very own sitcom, titled Mike & Molly. A year later, Melissa appeared in the 2011 comedy film Bridesmaids. Melissa’s performance in the film yielded the actress more acclaim than ever before, and she soon became a Hollywood leading lady!
All of these accomplishments Melissa managed to make while still maintaining her excessive weight, proving that her critics had been wrong during her early career when they told her there wasn’t a room for a woman her size in Hollywood. Now that Melissa has lost much of her iconic weight, fans are speculating that she has been losing roles for the opposite reason! Mike & Molly was canceled in 2016 after six seasons, and many speculated it was because Melissa was too skinny to keep playing her character. However, it turned out that the real reason the show was canceled was that the star’s movie star status made her no longer affordable!
