Who's that? 'Hairspray' star lost 60 pounds

12/20/2012

Marissa Jaret Winokur is best known for starring in "Hairspray" as Ruben-esque Tracy Turnblad. But after losing 60 pounds, the 39-year-old Tony-winner is unrecognizably gaunt and can fit in a size-two dress. The actress has been on a weight loss campaign since March out of fear for her health. "I thought I'd try to lose 20 pounds and see what happened. It was the little steps. I think it worked because I was genuinely doing it for myself." That's the healthy way to do it, and now Marissa can hold up her head as Hollywood's favorite quadruple-threat: actor, singer, dancer and dieter. [Source]
