...murder suspect with multiple personality disorder, respectively. If anyone had the monopoly over damaged souls and troubled teens it was McKenzie. The elfin actress first broke hearts as the little girl lost in a gang of neo-Nazi skinheads in Romper Stomper (1992), and proved the perfect Ophelia in Neil Armfield's acclaimed 1994 production of Hamlet. But when that play toured, her role was taken over by Cate Blanchett. And for the latter part of the '90s, McKenzie's star seemed eclipsed by a succession of less dangerous, more girl-next-door types...
...more or than and. Jennifer is talented and cute but too pudgy to land hot-chick roles. Instead, she's playing Ophelia in a production of Hamlet with fewer audience members than actors and doing "stand-in" work on George Lopez (literally standing in an actress's place so that the crew can set up the lighting).

In black garb, with a thin white face, his crimson lips the only color in his array, Whishaw does attract attention. He gets vamped by every woman from his flirtatious mom to Ophelia (Samantha Whittaker), dressed in schoolgirl plaids and played as a sexually precocious teeny-bopper who needs Hamlet as much as he needs his own onanistic misery. He stretches in his chair like a Catalan death puppet, and often holds his head as if it would split from shame or rage...
...Mary Pipher writes in Reviving Ophelia that “...the omnipresent media consistently portrays desirable women as thin.... Even as real women grow heavier, models and beautiful women are portrayed as thinner.” Today, it is almost impossible not to be subjected to the socially determined standards of attractiveness; television, advertisements and diet programs are constantly reinforcing the same message that thinness is synonymous with beauty and success. More dangerous, this message fuels an illusion that the “perfection” of models is attainable, if only one wants it badly enough. Thus women...
