There was a time when Jennifer Lawrence 's candor about the " shit actresses have to go through " in Hollywood was refreshing; now it's vital. During the early aughts of her career — before she found international fame in The Hunger Games — Lawrence was told by a producer to lose 15 pounds in two weeks, something that no heath professional would ever advise. During a separate instance, she was asked by female producer to do a "nude line-up" with five other actresses, all of whom were thinner than her. After the "degrading" experience, in which Lawrence said only tape covered their private bits, the same producer then told Lawrence to use the photos as "inspiration" for her diet.
