Sarah Snook Reveals Early Career Body Shaming and Infantilization in Film Industry

Despite Challenges, 'Succession' Star Achieves Success and Prepares for New Role in 'The Picture of Dorian Gray'

Sarah Snook, actress known for her role in 'Succession', revealed that she was once told off by a producer for eating a small piece of chocolate cake on a film set.
Snook was told by a casting agent for an unnamed film that she was a 'nobody' and was asked to change her appearance, including whitening her teeth, darkening her hair, and losing weight, to make her 'marketable'.
The incident left Snook 'dying inside', highlighting the unrealistic beauty standards and infantilization of women in the film industry.
Despite the early career challenges, Snook has since achieved significant success, recently winning her second Golden Globe for her role in 'Succession'.
Snook is set to star in a one-woman show, 'The Picture of Dorian Gray', at Theatre Royal Haymarket, London, where she will play 26 characters.
