What are weight requirements for a 5'2" actress?

Question

just wondering what is considered NOT GOOD on both ends of the scale?

Answer 1

Depends on the role. Look at that girl from Hairspray. Shes super fat, and was perfect for the part. Actresses dont have to look a certain way. They just have to be talented actresses. (go fig) They play different roles, usually of people in the 'real world' so whatever you look like, you just have to find the parts that suit you as you are.

Answer 2

The 'ideal' size for an average 5'2" woman is between 100-110 pounds, depending on her bone structure...but, nothing is set in stone. It's really hard for an actress not to be type-cast and even harder if you don't want to play the 'bimbo' or the 'fat girl', but if you don't look the part, you a lot less likely to be placed in a cubbyhole.
