Melissa Ann Mccarthy

Melissa McCarthy - American actress, star of the films "Big Boss", "Bridesmaids", "Catch the Fat Woman If You Can", "Spy", "Ghostbusters" and others. She is the most demanded artist with an informal figure. McCarthy, according to Forbes magazine, is included in the list of the 100 Most Influential Celebrities.

Melissa McCarthy was born in the state of Illinois, in the small settlement of Plainfield. The actress's parents, Sandy and Michael McCarthy, worked as farmers, like most of the neighbors. Perhaps such a fate would await Melissa, but comedic talent began to break through in the girl. After graduating from a comprehensive Catholic school for girls, she, on the advice of her cousin, actress Jenny McCarthy, went to New York.

There, the girl begins to perform in nightclubs as a stand-up comedian. At the same time, Melissa studies acting at a theater studio in Manhattan, after which she leaves for Los Angeles and is part of The Groundlings, a troupe specializing in improvised comedies. At that time, the weight of the actress already exceeded 100 kilograms. Nevertheless, the future success of the actress's films proved that it is not necessary to have a model appearance to conquer the cinematic Olympus.

When Melissa McCarthy became famous on the stage, the actress began to be invited to the cinema. McCarthy's cinematic biography begins with supporting roles.

The first film was the television series Jenny, where the actress's sister, Jenny McCarthy, became a key figure. This was followed by episodes in the popular films "Charlie's Angels", "The Life of David Gale", "The Kid", "White Oleander" and others. Also on account of her participation in the independent tragicomedies "The Third Extra" and "Pumpkin".

Melissa's success and popularity came after the actress joined the popular TV series Gilmore Girls, where she played the chef Sookie St. James for seven years. Interestingly, the actress Alex Borstein initially claimed this character and even participated in the pilot episode, but then McCarthy was given this role. The last season of Gilmore Girls aired in 2007, but the series is scheduled to resume in 2016.

Another famous television work of Melissa was the comedy "Who is Samantha?", And on the big screen McCarthy attracted attention with the help of the psychological drama "Nines". But the real success overtook this non-standard actress after the release of the romantic comedy "Bridesmaids", which in the Russian box office came out under the name "Bachelorette Party in Vegas".

Immediately, invitations from various film studios fell on Melissa, but she chose only those that were interesting to her. So, McCarthy, along with Sandra Bullock, played in the humorous detective story "Cops in Skirts", with Jason Bateman in the crime comedy "Catch the Fat Woman If You Can", with Bill Murray in the tragicomedy "Saint Vincent".

Melissa McCarthy also tried herself as a screenwriter, writing a plot for the film "Tammy", where she herself played the main role.

In 2015, Melissa McCarthy starred in the comedy Spy. This film is a parody of the plot moves and stereotypical heroes of spy action movies, including the famous Bond films. The roles of two special agents were played by Jason Statham and Jude Law, and Statham played the typical dimwitted hero-jock, and Lowe played the gallant and charming spy.

Melissa McCarthy got the role of agent Susan Cooper, who in her youth gave up operational work and became an analyst at headquarters. Due to information leakage, Susan becomes the only agent whose face is unknown to the enemy. As a result, the actress got a completely unbroken and original image. For this role, Melissa was nominated for a Golden Globe.

Also worth noting are comedies such as "Spy and a Half" and "Big Boss". The latter may also be known to Russians under the alternative name Michelle Darnell.

When Melissa McCarthy moved to California and joined The Groundlings, she met comedian Ben Falcone. They began to meet, then lived in a civil marriage, and in October 2005 they got married.

Two years later, the first daughter, Vivian, was born in the family of Melissa and Ben. It's funny that just at the time of the last months of pregnancy, McCarthy played in the TV series "Gilmore Girls" the heroine, also in position. So the actress didn't have to interrupt filming and let the producers and directors down.

In the spring of 2010, the couple had a second daughter, Georgette. Both girls starred in films with their mother.

Melissa also tried herself in the design of fashionable clothes for textured women. Her company produces outfits for ladies of the largest sizes. As a plus size woman, Melissa McCarthy understands the desire of overweight women to be beautiful and stylish and launches new models of clothing based on her own experience.

The actress herself does not suffer too much from the fact that she is overweight. The actress regularly makes it into the top ten highest paid actresses in Hollywood, easily leaving behind fashionable girls.

Of course, Melissa is trying to keep fit, and in 2016 it became known that McCarthy lost 30 kg. If during the filming of the film "Mike and Molly" the actress weighed 107 kg with a height of 157 cm, then by the time of filming "Ghostbusters" Melissa McCarthy had lost a lot of weight and after the release of the picture did not stop there.

The actress admits that she is constantly faced with negative reactions to her own appearance, especially to weight. Ill-wishers criticized the woman, both when Melissa refused to lose weight and was pleased with her own figure, and when she decided to lose weight. According to the actress herself, sometimes there is so much anger in such criticism that it even unsettles. Nevertheless, the actress does not allow critics to dictate her terms: McCarthy posts photos in a short robe on Instagram, wears bright dresses and does not hesitate to joke about his own weight in films.

In 2016, a remake of the fantasy-adventure action movie Ghostbusters was released, in which McCarthy starred. The actress played the role of Abby Yates, a scientist and writer who published a book about ghosts. The heroine devoted her whole life to researching the paranormal and eventually became a ghost hunter with her own agency and regular orders.

Even before its premiere, the film received conflicting reviews. Some of the potential viewers accused the film crew of being an insult and desecration of the original picture. Another part of the critics greeted the film positively, admitting that the updated female cast of the Hunters meets the audience's request for an increase in the number of heroines, and also does not prevent connoisseurs of the classics from enjoying the original films and cartoons of the franchise.

In 2017, it became known that a year later a new film "The Soul of the Company" will be released, in which Melissa McCarthy will play the main role of Dinah.
