7 Hollywood Actresses Who Were Told They Weren’t Pretty Enough to Make It (4 of 4)

Meryl Streep

One of the great actresses of her generation, and still someone somewhere thought he’s being clever by saying she’s not pretty enough. In fact, when she was a young actress trying to audition for a role in “King Kong” the Italian producer and his son called her ugly. They probably didn’t expect her to understand Italian. That must have been one awkward atmosphere in the room!

Kate Winslet

Kate Winslet has never hidden the fact that she has been bodyshamed for as long as she can remember. Before she became one of the biggest stars in the world by starring in “Titanic,” she was told that she might make it as an actress if she was happy sticking to the “fat girl” parts. All that just made her stronger though, and she’s a very popular and loved actress now.
