This is why I love Camryn Manheim. She has a "Lane Bryant" figure, and I was so happy to see her win her Emmy. She's the first plus-size woman I've ever seen be successful without letting her body be her joke or gimmick.
My favorite, though, is her role in a miniseries caller the 10th Kingdom. (If you haven't seen it, you should check it out. Basically, all the fairy tales are true, and co-exist in the same world. Snow White, Rapunzel, and Red Riding Hood are known as great queens who shaped history. FYI-While this is not an "adult" series, it also isn't for children.) Camryn Manheim plays Snow White, the "fairest in the land". It was so awesome to me that one of the most beautiful women in that world is portrayed by Camryn Manheim ~AngelKitty~ "Don't refuse to go on an occasional wild goose chase - that's what wild geese are for."--Unknown ------------------------ Yahoo!
