Nia Vardalos’ First Agent Told Her She Was Too Ugly to ‘Be a Leading Lady and Not Fat Enough to Be a Character Actor’: ‘F Her. Look How It Turned Out’

In an interview with MovieMaker magazine (conducted before the SAG-AFTRA strike), Vardalos revealed her first agent told her she was too ugly to be a leading lady in Hollywood. This was before she became an industry breakout with the success of 2002’s “My Big Fat Greek Wedding.” “Sometimes I’m depicted as this very strong person who was rejected by Hollywood and therefore created my own story,” Vardalos said.
