And while it could be argued that these scenes are indeed compromised by the presence of the male gaze, such speculation should not distract from the brilliance of this film, which won the Palm d’Or at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival. The story will inevitably strike a chord with anyone who has ever loved and lost, regardless of sexual orientation.
- This episode highlights Hollywood's age-obsession and youthful looks for women. Although Collin Wilcox (b. 1935) and Suzy Parker (b. 1932) had only a three-year age difference, Wilcox played the daughter of Parker's character. Wilcox was aged 29 playing an 18 year old. The 2005 novel Uglies shares several themes with this episode.

The year 2015 was monumental for Daisy Ridley, as she snagged her breakout role as Rey in Star Wars: Episode VII — The Force Awakens, and the British actress' character has proven to be vital in the Star Wars universe. Can you imagine how insane it must have been to ascend to the level of fame she reached so quickly?
But despite her physical prowess and general bada** nature, Ridley wasn't actually born with a lightsaber in one hand and a blaster in the other. Rather, she came into the world the same way we all do. In Ridley's case, she was born as the daughter of an internal communications employee at a bank and a photographer, as noted by Entertainment Weekly.
So just how did Ridley go from a regular British girl to a super fierce, space-traveling Jedi warrior? And how else has she changed along the way? Scroll down to learn all about the stunning transformation of Daisy Ridley.
Daisy Ridley was a loud and feisty tomboy as a kid
Daisy Ridley was born on April 10, 1992 in London, England. In an interview with Vogue, she described her younger self as 'a little tomboy,' who had a lot of energy. Ridley continued to share what she was like as a kid, saying she was 'loud.' She continued, 'Often very sassy. Insane amounts of energy. I remember asking, 'Was I shy?' And my mum laughing hysterically. She said I used to run into a room and go, 'Helloooo!'
Daisy Ridley didn't pursue acting until her late teen years
It was her energy as a child that moved Daisy Ridley towards the performing arts. As reported by Vogue, the star went to a performing arts boarding school from ages 9 to 18. She didn't start out with acting, but with singing and gymnastics. As the star toldVogue, the reasoning was actually that she was so energetic that her parents chose that school 'literally just to keep me busy, because the days were twelve hours long.'
Ridley didn't land on acting specifically until age 17. It started with a girl in her drama class who told Ridley that she couldn't play Lady Macbeth because she didn't have 'the right accent,' as Vogue reported. Ridley's teacher heard this and gave the future star confidence to push forward. Ridley shared during the interview, 'He was like, 'Who the f**k told you you couldn't do Lady Macbeth?' His confidence helped push Ridley forward.
Daisy Ridley was fired from her first job
Even successful stars have had moments that felt like failure. During an interview withElle, Daisy Ridley discussed the beginning of her acting career. Her first job didn't go as expected. She shared, 'I was actually sacked from my first job.. It was at a workshop for a short film this poet had written, about when she used to work in a strip club. After the first week, I was told not to come back.'
But more jobs came. As Ridley shared, she was in a supermarket commercial where she was 'eating a pork pie in a way that has never seen anyone so happy.' She then received a role in the UK television series Mr. Selfridge.
Daisy Ridley wasn't that nervous for Star Wars
In April of 2014, then-22-year-old Daisy Ridley was announced as a new cast member in Star Wars: Episode VII. Coming into a huge property like Star Wars could have been scary, but Ridley actually saw it as a positive that she was new to the process.
The celeb, who is one of several Star Wars actors who made less than you thought, shared her thoughts during an interview withVariety, saying, 'I think I didn't psych myself out.. I wasn't trying to fit into a thing.. it was not like I was like, 'Right, I'm the Han; I'm the Leia; I'm the Luke.' I was just like, 'Okay, I'm Rey, just trying to do me, just trying to do this scene, trying to do the right thing,' and I think that was a huge advantage because I think if not, it would've been a very different thing.'
Daisy Ridley changed her lifestyle for this major role
And even though Daisy Ridley didn't want the pressure of the Star Wars property to weigh on her, she still put in the time and dedication for her role in the film. This included major shifts in eating and working out. So what was on the menu for the star? As she shared withElle, this included 'lots of fish, legumes, and spirulina shakes.'
For training, the star had an intense three-month schedule of working out five hours every day, five days a week. She also was doing stunt practice outside of those hours. During the interview, Ridley spoke to this intense time. While she wasn't able to see family and friends as much, working out ended up being a nice routine for the star. She said, 'It became my solace.. Because it's the only thing structured in my life right now. Training is sort of a therapy session, I guess.. It was very weird.. because I went from being in the pub, being around quite a bit, to all of a sudden not being able to see anyone.'
Daisy Ridley found sudden fame difficult to handle
Finding a routine became very difficult once the film came out. She was only 23-years-old at the time, and received great reviews for her work in the film — but with positive reviews also came a lot of attention for the star. With so much attention from press and fans, Daisy Ridley felt a need to go to therapy to handle the extreme change in her life. After all, it's important to learn ways to care for your mental health and many benefit from seeing a therapist. Ridley opened up about her decision to seek therapy during an interview withVogue, saying, 'I felt like I was sort of reducing myself because I was so worried that people would recognize me.' But she turned around her thoughts, and continued on to say, 'You know what? I want to dance through life. I don't want to scuttle.'
The star's biggest concern was having her perception changed by fame. She said, 'I worry that things start to seem normal that aren't normal.. You get rushed through airports, and you never have to queue, and you get tickets to things that you wouldn't otherwise. I think it's important to remind yourself that it's not normal. It's difficult, though, because it is my normal.'
Daisy Ridley doesn't feel pressured to have a future plan
![Transformation Transformation](/uploads/1/1/7/8/117873013/126444139.jpg)
Daisy Ridley believes in timing, and this applies in her career as well. As the actress toldV Magazine after Star Wars premiered, 'My first lead role was ridiculous and amazing for a first film, and for a film in general. I have an amazing agent. I feel really f**king lucky.' She also admitted she freaked out a little when she didn't have a job lined up after the Star Wars.
She didn't have to worry for long. Shortly after, she was offered the role in the film Murder on the Orient Express. With that film having premiered in November 2017, and the next Star Wars film out in December 2017, the then-25-year-old was thinking about that perfect timing again. 'There are things I want to do that I'm too scared to do currently: I really want to do a play and right now, I feel like I'm barely finding my legs doing film. So, eventually I'll do that. There is no plan. For the most part, it's just floating on the breeze.'
Acting isn't Daisy Ridley's only talent
As Daisy Ridley's acting career was gaining speed and success, it couldn't be forgotten that she has other skills as well. Ridley's singing training in school eventually came to the attention of her Star Wars director J.J. Abrams.
Download spss 17. The director spoke of the actress' talents toE! News, saying, 'One day on set, she just started singing and had the most beautiful voice I ever heard.'
And because Ridley is fabulous and doesn't do anything small, she showed the world her singing voice by working with the one and only Barbra Streisand. In 2016, 24-year-old Ridley recorded a track with the legend that is Streisand, and Anne Hathaway, who's had her own stunning transformation over the years, was featured on the track as well.
When Carrie Fisher died, Daisy Ridley was traumatized
When Daisy Ridley was on set with the legendary Carrie Fisher, who played Princess Leia, during The Force Awakens, she was able to get to know the veteran actor, and the pair became good friends. So it's not surprising that Ridley looks back on their time together with great fondness, 'Oh my God, she was so sassy and had all these amazing stories,' she recalled in an interview with The Guardian. Ridley continued, 'She was so smart and so funny. She went through things, like wearing the gold bikini [in Return Of The Jedi], so I didn't end up having to do those things, and I'm so grateful.'
Equally unsurprising is that when Fisher tragically passed away in 2016, Ridley like so many people, was crestfallen and couldn't stop crying. But she's thankful that they're using posthumous footage of Fisher in subsequent films. 'It's really sad. And it's going to be really sad,' she confessed in an interview with GQ. 'But also, it's amazing that they have all this footage that is woven into the story in such a strange way.'
Daisy Ridley's humble and doesn't want special treatment
While this star may have received great reviews from film critics and landed a singing partnership with a Broadway legend, that doesn't mean Ridley thinks she's a superstar.
Ridley spoke withUSA Today about her nerves when she worked on Murder on the Orient Express, on which she worked alongside the likes of Michelle Pfeiffer and Johnny Depp. She said, 'I honestly had no room for jokes in my mind that day. I was so freaking nervous.. My hands were fully shaking, I thought, I cannot do this in scene with everyone around.'
And she definitely did not think she was above auditioning for any roles after Star Wars. Her desire to stay grounded still comes across. She continued, 'I mean, obviously, I had done only one thing. I had to prove myself to be part of anything like this. So I was very happy to (audition).. I know I'm a real newbie.'
Daisy Ridley stepped out of her comfort zone for Ophelia
After Daisy Ridley's big debut in The Force Awakens and on the heels of her turn in Murder on the Orient Express, the actress took on a role that really challenged her: She played Hamlet's ill-treated love interest in the 2018 indie film Ophelia. So what was so difficult about playing this particular part? 'Well, my main thing — which is why I did Orient Express immediately afterwards — is I really like to be part of the group,' she revealed in an interview with Variety. 'And I've only really done one like leading thing, which was Ophelia, which was overwhelming. I like to be part of a group of people.'
Unfortunately the film was panned by people when it premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, but Ridley's acting was widely lauded. And though Ophelia was later re-edited and much improved, it didn't get traction in the mainstream markets. 'Some people have seen it,' she quipped in an interview with GQ. 'They were very nice. So to those three people, thank you.'
When The Last Jedi opened, Daisy Ridley wasn't in good shape
Despite the fact that by 2017 Daisy Ridley was extremely successful and world-famous, she wasn't doing very well. Thanks to her sudden and intense fame, she was constantly anxious and exhausted by the constant scrutiny that came with it. 'I saw a picture of me at the London premiere and I was so skinny and my skin was terrible,' she lamented in an interview with GQ. 'My body was just f**ked up.'
As it turned out, Ridley had literal holes in the wall of her gut because of all of the stress. 'I got tests done and it turned out my body was taking in no nutrients,' she continued. 'I was just like a little skeleton and I was just so tired. I was becoming a ghost.'
Fortunately that didn't last forever, and Ridley was eventually able to recover herself.
Although she's world famous now, Daisy Ridley struggles to like herself
It's no doubt intimidating to be thrust at the center of a franchise that is pretty much worshiped by millions of hardcore fans. That's something Daisy Ridley has struggled with a bit, much like her sudden fame, as she sometimes wondered what she was doing as part of the project. 'I really am working on liking myself and feeling like I am where I need to be,' she shared in an interview with Variety. 'And it has been helped by working with people that made me feel good and in a really safe working environment. So I feel like I can do my best work and work with a group of people that I really love.'
That support from the Star Wars family has helped Ridley to take it all in, and truly enjoy the ride for all that it is. 'I've stopped trying to apologize for doing this because I know how lucky I am,' she continued. 'I'm having a great time.'
Daisy Ridley felt much better on the set of The Rise of Skywalker
Things had turned around for Daisy Ridley by the time she stepped on the set of The Rise of Skywalker. Unlike the previous film in the franchise, this time she was once again part of group scenes, instead of shooting mostly one-on-ones — which made her really happy. 'I was so healthy. I was so there. I was just enjoying it,' she gushed in an interview with GQ. 'With this one, I had such a great time.'
Part of that good feeling was due to the fact that director J.J. Abrams had the cast shoot scenes without dialogue, which quickly became a source of great amusement for everyone. 'Then it became a joke, because we would just wet ourselves laughing,' she continued. 'I said to JJ, 'You have to do a bloopers reel,' because I couldn't keep my s**t together at all.' Those scenes must be totally hilarious!
Daisy Ridley is prepared to say goodbye to Star Wars
If you weren't already aware of it, The Rise of Skywalker is the last film in the rebooted Star Wars Skywalker franchise. That means that Daisy Ridley is done playing Rey, at least for now, something that she's certainly going to miss. 'It feels strange when we're in a group doing things and people ask us how it feels,' she explained in an interview with Variety. 'Because then you're like [as if in pain] Oh! And we genuinely all really do get along. So that's sad.'
At the same time, however, Ridley is ready to say goodbye to both her character and the cast and crew, thanks in part to how the end was written. 'But also, I think this story, from what we filmed, [screenwriter] Chris [Terrio] and J.J. [Abrams] have done such an amazing job at wrapping it up, it feels like the right time to say goodbye,' she continued. 'So even though it's sad, it feels right.'
Daisy Ridley is open to doing horror movies in the future
Since Star Wars wrapped in 2019, you may wonder what's next for Daisy Ridley and what kind of work she's looking for. Interestingly enough, she's not opposed to making the leap to more frightening venues, and that includes horror films. 'I'm terrified of horror films, but I like them. So I'd like to be in one,' she revealed in an interview with Variety. 'But I think it would also, like, screw me up a bit. I feel like you'd have to be living with your family to exorcise the bad juju when you left set.' Sounds about right! Oss client v8 6.
Conversely, there is one genre in which Ridley feels like she might struggle, unless she played a specific kind of character. 'The one thing I can't see myself doing is comedy because I don't think I'm a funny person,' she continued. 'But I could be the straight person.'
Daisy Ridley isn't shy about her political beliefs
When it comes to discussing her personal life, Daisy Ridley is mum on some topics, such as her love life, which she keeps very private. However, there are some subjects that Ridley is fine talking about, and that includes her political beliefs. 'I don't feel I have to edit what I say — the things that make me angry are the things that make everyone angry,' she shared in an interview with The Guardian. 'Everyone is annoyed with [Boris Johnson]. Everyone has an issue with Trump — every sane person anyway.'
That being said, Ridley doesn't consider herself an expert on politics, so she's not one to harp on the topic all that often. But that isn't because she's afraid to speak her mind, or scared to let people know how she really feels. 'It's not that I don't talk about this stuff,' she continued. 'But other people are so much more articulate than me and say it better.' Fair enough, Daisy!

We all go through changes in life. We've all wasted afternoons going through old pictures of ourselves, reminiscing on the past and laughing at outdated clothes and hairstyles.
The same is true for celebrities. For example, it's hard to believe Chris Pratt has been both Star-Lord from Guardians of the Galaxy as well as Andy from Parks and Recreation. And who would have thought Miley Cyrus would stray so far from her Hannah Montana roots?
Let's take a look at some truly stunning celebrity transformations. Prepare to be amazed!
Miley Cyrus
An incredible 25 years ago, many of us remember bopping along to Billy Ray Cyrus' mega hit, 'Achy Breaky Heart' and, if you were around during that time, you likely remember the birth of his daughter, Destiny Hope Cyrus.
It was heartwarming to see father and daughter, who changed her name to Miley, starring together in the Disney hit, Hannah Montana, years later. She was wholesome and talented — everything parents could want in a role model for young viewers.
It was a shock when she shed her squeaky clean image in favor of barely-there stage outfits, raunchy song lyrics, drug use, and interviews about how much she loves having sex. With songs such a 'Wrecking Ball,' and 'We Can't Stop,' she left her Hannah Montana days far behind her.
Recently, Miley has undergone yet another transformation and has returned to a softer, drug-free existence. She's focusing on love and says she's left those wild days behind her. With the release of her much-tamer 'Malibu,' her style is clearly evolving yet again.
Taylor Swift
Transformations Tv Show
It's hard to believe it's been 11 years since Taylor Swift released her self-titled album and it's even harder to believe how fresh-faced and innocent she was back then. With tracks like 'Love Story,' and '15' she emerged as a sweet, budding country singer.
Then, she won the Best Female Video prize for 'You Belong with Me' at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards and her life changed. Rapper Kanye West, was none-to-please about her victory and stormed the stage to let everyone know that Beyoncé's 'Single Ladies' was one of the 'best videos of all time.'
Maybe the situation hardened Swift, who soon after changed her image almost entirely. Gone are her country songs and sappy lyrics. Today, she's a huge pop star whose tracks, including 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together' and 'Bad Blood' give fans a glimpse inside her string of failed romances and growing number of celebrity feuds.
Chris Pratt
There was a time when no one would have described Chris Pratt as a leading man. Overweight and largely overlooked, he took on secondary roles such as Andy in Parks and Recreation and Vince Vaughn's best friend in the critically-panned film, Delivery Man.
After being cast in the lead role of superhero flick, Guardians of the Galaxy, Pratt was able to show off both his comedic skills and his impressively transformed physique. His performance won over audiences and led to more box-office success with films such as Jurassic World.
The actor, who is married to comedienne Anna Faris, with whom he shares a son, said when he was overweight, he struggled with depression and low sex drive. Today, he may not always enjoy his diet but he's definitely enjoying the benefits!
Ivanka Trump
Not long ago, Ivanka Trump was just a teen pursuing a modelling career in an attempt to flee boarding school. She knew this wouldn't be her 'endgame,' of course, and enrolled in Georgetown and later the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. Following in her father, Donald Trump's, footsteps, Ivanka plunged into the world of business and, eventually, served as a boardroom judge on The Apprentice.
As she continued to build her own brand and empire, she married businessman, Jared Kushner, converted to Judaism, and welcomed three children. Today, the couple act as advisors to her father, now the President of the United States, traveling to boardrooms around the world.
Megan Fox
When Megan Fox first burst onto the scene, it was in a very big way. As Shia LeBeouf's co-star in the highly-anticipated live-action adaptation of Transformers, Fox was introduced to a huge audience and quickly became a household name.
Unfortunately, she and director Michael Bay, had some sort of falling out and she was not invited to return to the franchise and ended up being cast in low-performing films like Jennifer's Body.
Today, the actress is rarely in the spotlight and instead, is focused on raising her three boys, Noah, Bodhi, and Journey, with husband, Brian Austin Green (who many will recognize from the original Beverly Hills, 90210).
Justin Bieber
As a young kid growing up in Canada, Justin Bieber competed in local talent shows until he started uploading videos of himself to YouTube. Against all odds, it worked. He eventually gained the attention of Usher and, well, the rest is history.
While he launched his career with syrupy teen songs such as 'Baby,' his life has taken many surprising turns. He's had run-ins with the law, fights with paparazzi, high-profile romances (including his long-term on-again-off-again relationship with Selena Gomez), and gotten countless tattoos.
Now, he's trying to set boundaries with his fans after feeling burned out. Although his intentions might be great, he often makes headlines when he refuses to pose for pictures or scolds his followers for trying to push him past his limits — which doesn't do anything to improve the bad reputation he's earned.
Selena Gomez
Believe it or not, there are people out there who remember watching Selena Gomez as a child on Barney & Friends (where she co-starred with Demi Lovato). Rather than disappear into the shadows, Gomez continued to find work and went on to star on the hit Disney show, Wizards of Waverly Place (she's even discussed a revival).
Of course, she wasn't going to stay a teen star forever and her on-again-off-again relationship with Justin Bieber helped mark her transition into adulthood. She gained recognition as a solo artist (and narrowly missed making Forbes' World's Highest Paid Women in Music list in 2016) with hits such as 'Love You Like a Love Song,' and 'Come and Get It' but, despite her success, Gomez was struggling on the inside.
After taking a break from the spotlight, Gomez has revealed a struggle with both lupus and depression. By focusing on herself, she says that she has found peace and just wants to focus on being happy.
Kate Middleton
Catherine Middleton came from a good family but she could never have known how famous she would eventually become. Her parents, Carol and Michael, own a very successful party planning business, allowing them to send Kate, as well as her siblings, Pippa and James, to some of the best school the United Kingdom has to offer.
It was during her time at St. Andrew's College in Scotland that something very fortuitous happened. While they had been friendly while attending the school, it wasn't until Kate modeled a see-through dress for a 2002 charity event that she caught the eye of Prince William.
Today, she's the wife of the future king of England as well as the mother of the heirs to the throne, Prince George and Princess Charlotte. In addition to her royal duties, Kate's sense of style and penchant for affordable items have made her a fashion icon for women of all backgrounds.
Meghan Markle
You wouldn't be alone if you hadn't heard of Meghan Markle until recently. While she was featured as a 'briefcase girl' on Deal or No Deal and has starred on the USA Network show, Suits, for years, it wasn't until recently that her popularity began to rise.
After committing to humanitarian efforts with the United Nations and working hard to empower women and minorities, Markle met Prince Harry at the Invictus Games in Toronto where she lives while filming Suits. The pair clearly hit it off since their romance has been building ever since.
While she works in Canada and he's obviously based in London, the pair travel back and forth to spend time together, and he even brought her to Pippa Middleton's wedding reception. It's very possible she could be the next commoner to become a princess.
Lil Kim
Dark-skinned and fierce, Lil Kim was widely regarded as one of the best female rappers as she emerged with the group Junior M.A.F.I.A. in the 1990s. She established herself as an artist after releasing her solo album, Hard Core, in 1996, wowing critics with her 'raw, unapologetic flow.'
While she spent a year and a day in prison after being found guilty of perjury and conspiracy for lying to a jury about a gun-related incident, fans were just as shocked by her changing appearance. Suddenly, she had much lighter skin, blonde hair, blue eyes, and breast implants.
In discussing her physical changes, Lil Kim said, 'Think about it. The girls that [men] dated when I was younger were light-skinned and tall. I'm short and brown-skinned. I've always wondered.. how do I fit in? I think being Lil' Kim the rapper helped me deal with it better. I think doing photo shoots and seeing all the people respond to me has helped. [But] I still don't see what they see.'
Robert Downey Jr.
As a young actor, Robert Downey Jr. was a cast member of Saturday Night Live and appeared in light-hearted '80s films such as Weird Science and Back to School. He wowed audiences and critics alike, however, with his performance in Chaplin. He took on several big roles and, by all accounts, it seemed like his star was just going to continue rising.
Unfortunately, he began struggling with addiction, had some run-ins with the law, and even landed in jail for a while. He made several attempts to get his life back on track but continued to struggle for years. Eventually, no one wanted to hire him because his reputation was ruined.
That is, of course, until Jon Favreau took a gamble and cast him in Iron Man. Downey Jr. brought new life to the role of Tony Stark which led to major box-office success for the actor, as well as Marvel Studios. Who could have known that he would be leading the Avengers someday?
Katy Perry
Born to evangelical parents, Katy Perry had a very conservative upbringing and wasn't allowed to listen to mainstream pop music. After piercing her nose and taking singing lessons, she released a gospel album that saw very limited success.
It must have been a shock to everyone, then, when her first big break came after she released the song 'I Kissed a Girl' (which Miley Cyrus claims is about her). As her popularity grew, her image became even more daring with her 'California Gurls' music video including some pretty suggestive themes.
As her music career soared, she found heartache in her personal life. Her marriage to Russell Brand abruptly ended by text message and her on-again-off-again relationship with John Mayer ultimately failed (although, he admits that he still misses her). Perhaps, for this reason, she's undergoing yet another metamorphosis.
Perry has openly admitted she's struggling with this alter-ego. That she's strong as Katy Perry but sometimes weaker as Katheryn Hudson (her real name). She shared her journey through counseling and meditation with her fans and even admitted that she cut off all of her hair in an attempt at giving herself a fresh start. Something tells us an even bigger transformation is yet to come.
Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson
Growing up, Dwayne Johnson came from a family with a wrestling background but aspired to become a professional football player. After a back injury cost him his dream of entering the NFL while playing for the University of Miami, he changed directions.
He didn't give up on fame. Instead, he retrained his focus and found himself enjoying an immensely successful career as a WWE wrestler. This was when his persona, 'The Rock,' was born along with the catchphrase 'can you smell what The Rock is cooking?'
Who could have imagined that he'd transition, again, into a Hollywood actor? He's not a one-note performer, either. We'd expect to see him in action movies such as Fast & Furious but he's also taken on dramatic roles in Walking Tall as well as appearing in family-friendly fare including, Tooth Fairy.
Most recently, he's even talked about running for president!
Gal Gadot
Born in Israel, Gal Gadot intended to get a law degree after serving two years in the military where she trained other soldiers in combat. Things started to change dramatically, of course, after she won the title of Miss Israel after reluctantly entering the pageant.
Gadot's knowledge of weaponry helped her win the role of Gabrielle in Fast & Furious despite the fact that she had never acted on film before. She went on to appear in subsequent movies in the franchise before getting her big break.
Producers took a gamble and cast Gadot in the role of Wonder Woman, much to director Patty Jenkins' dismay. While she's grateful for the decision in retrospect, she says she would have chosen someone more 'American.' After being hailed as the best thing about Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Gadot nailed her performance in the standalone Wonder Woman film, winning over audiences and critics alike.
Melissa McCarthy
After endearing television audiences with her portrayal of Sookie St. James on Gilmour Girls, Melissa McCarthy put her own name on the map with her incredible performance in Bridesmaid. She showed depth as well as humor and, before long, was starring in hit films such as The Heat, Tammy, and the all-female reboot of Ghostbusters.
Along the way, she did reveal that, as a plus-size woman, she struggled to find designers who were willing to dress her for red carpet events. As a result, she created her own line of clothing for women of all sizes.
Now, she's lost some weight and revealed the secret to her slimmer figure. 'I truly stopped worrying about [my size],' she said. 'I think there's something to kinda loosening up and not being so nervous and rigid about it that, bizarrely, has worked.'
Caitlyn Jenner
In the '80s, Caitlyn Jenner was wildly popular. She became 'the world's greatest athlete' by winning the decathlon at the 1976 Summer Olympic Games in Montreal. She was on the Wheaties box and even had her own board game.
![Tv age transformation scenes hd Tv age transformation scenes hd](/uploads/1/1/7/8/117873013/597461827.jpg)
While she was one of the most recognized faces in the world, that quickly changed when she underwent plastic surgery. Little did anyone know, however, that an even bigger transformation was still to come.
In 2015, the former athlete emerged as Caitlyn Jenner and, after ending her marriage to Kris Jenner, has since undergone gender reassignment surgery. The transition has not been without challenges, even from within the LGBTQ community.
Michael Jackson

At just 5 years old, Michael Jackson was navigating a successful music career. Despite being much younger, his star quality as the lead singer overshadowed his older brothers who comprised the remaining members of the Jackson 5.

It wasn't a surprise, therefore, that he was able to make a name for himself as a solo artist with insanely successful hits such as 'Thriller' and 'Bad.' What was shocking, however, was how much he changed physically over the years. His skin lightened and his features changed, but nothing rocked his world like being accused of sexual molestation.

After being cleared of all charges, Jackson became reclusive, especially after welcoming three kids of own. In addition to wearing a mask in public, he also shielded the faces of his children from the public eye. His life came to a sudden end after being given a fatal dose of prescription medication by his doctor, who was later convicted of involuntary manslaughter.
