The fat female body is a unique construction in American culture that has been understood in various ways during the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Analyzing post-WWII stage and screen performances, Mobley argues that the fat actress's body signals myriad cultural assumptions and suggests new ways of reading the body in performance.
Jennifer-Scott Mobley is Visiting Professor in the Department of Theatre and Dance at Rollins College, USA.
