Kat Dennings Reflects on Hollywood's Past Cruelty Toward Young Actors

The actress shared her experiences with body shaming at age 12 and praised the industry's progress toward inclusivity.

Kat Dennings revealed that casting directors in the 1990s often made harsh, body-shaming comments about her when she was just 12 years old.
She recalled being told she was 'not pretty enough' and 'fat,' but credited her parents and her own resilience for helping her maintain confidence.
Dennings described the entertainment industry of the time as lacking inclusivity, representation, and body positivity, calling it 'gross' and 'insane.'
The actress noted significant improvements in Hollywood today, highlighting a 'softer, kinder' environment with greater acceptance of diversity.
Dennings began her acting career at age nine and has since become a prominent figure in Hollywood, with roles in '2 Broke Girls' and the upcoming sitcom 'Shifting Gears.'
