Megan was even nominated for a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her role in the comedy. She was then nominated again in 2019 for her role in Can You Ever Forgive Me?.
She said at the time she struggled to get a designer to make her an Oscars dress in 2011.
“Trying to find stuff that’s still fashion-forward in my size is damn near impossible,” she told Hollywood Reporter in 2011.
“It’s either for like a 98-year-old woman or a 14-year-old hooker, and there is nothing in the middle.”
Since then, she’s gone on to feature in numerous Hollywood projects to varying levels of success.
Some of her biggest roles include The Heat alongside Sandra Bullock, Tammy, Spy and The Boss.
