Patricia Arquette said she was asked to lose weight during her Emmy-winning role on “Medium.”
She told the Hollywood Reporter: “I had an argument with one of the producers on ‘Medium,’ who told me I should lose weight. I was like, ‘This lady is a mother, she’s married, she’s got three kids. No.’ But there’s that expectation … of looking a certain way. Like, ‘OK, you could be 40, but you’ve got to be a 40 who looks 30.’”
Arquette later put on weight for her role in “Escape at Dannemora.”
