Jennifer Grey, 62, Says Diet Culture Is ‘Epidemic’: ‘To Me It Is the Crime of Crimes’
“Because our whole culture has kind of normalized this idea that we’re supposed to be a certain weight, size, shape. We’re supposed to look a certain way. And the fact is, all it does is really reinforce the feeling of being not enough, which is so human in our culture, sadly. It is epidemic.”
Playing Shamblin gave Grey the rare chance to embody someone very different from herself—towering blonde wigs and all. “For me, the voice of Gwen Shamblin is the voice of anorexia. It’s the shaming, rigid voice that says you are not lovable unless you are thin. And God doesn’t love you,” she said.
