Kat Dennings says casting directors called her 'fat' and not 'pretty enough' when she was 12

The Shifting Gears star entered showbiz at the age of nine, appearing in commercials, before she landed her sitcom debut at 14 on an episode of Sex And The City.

Entitled Hot Child In The City, the episode cast Kat as a spoiled preteen who hires the man-eating PR whiz Samantha Jones (Kim Cattrall) to plan her bat mitzvah. Created by comedian Whitney Cummings and Sex And The City showrunner Michael Patrick King, the show starred Kat alongside Beth Behrs as two women from opposite backgrounds who wind up in the same low income bracket working at a diner. Kat also featured in the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the comic relief role of Darcy, the best friend of the Natalie Portman character in the Thor films.
