Body-diverse leading ladies are scoring their big breaks on the small screen here and abroad.
SINGAPORE – When local comedienne-host-actress Xixi Lim won her first Top 10 Most Popular Female Artiste prize at the Star Awards in April, it came as a surprise. After all, she is not a Mediacorp artiste and had never led a series produced by the broadcaster.
These days, Xixi Lim’s days are packed to the brim. The 36-year-old Singaporean comedienne, host and actress is often on set for close to 12 hours, before having a quick dinner and then heading off to dance practice. Ask someone what was the last thing he or she watched on Netflix, and there is a good chance it will be Baby Reindeer.
And while Gadd is no doubt the star of Baby Reindeer, Jessica Gunning anchors it with her unsettling yet humane portrayal of Martha, who is based on Gadd’s real-life stalker.Irish actress Nicola Coughlan as Penelope Featherington in the third season of the lavish period romance Bridgerton.
