Leba Dunham star of HBO's girls is so fat and ugly....

she reminds me of "blank."

Are you a 13-year old teenage girl, OP?
I just did a search for her photo. Never mind the weight. She looks like she's in her mid to late 30s.

so far neither of these replies are short enough to fit on the blue card. I always hated when Brett wrote really long answers and had to use a bunch of cards.

Leba?
glaring nepotism.
OP.

Isn't she supposed to be "brilliant" and the show "hilarious"?
She reminds me of a fat version of Rosie O'Donnell.
jewish?
She was on Chelsea Handler and actually looked quite good. She comes across great in interviews and I actually liked the show. I don't know how much mileage they can get out of the concept but for now it works.
"jewish?" Like Gwennie, she's Jewish and a Wasp. Her dad artist Carroll Dunham is a Wasp, her mom photographer Laurie Simmons is Jewish. Whatever Lena is, she's not very attractive.
tons of male celebrities.
She's "fat" and ugly like most male celebrities.

Reminds me of Blank...Jerri Blank!

Weird. Like she owes it to anyone to be skinny and pretty.
She's cute and smart. I would date someone like her in a heartbeat.

"your brain, OP"
I think Girls is hilarious and Lena is a damn good writer and actress.
At first I was quick to jump on the nepotism bandwagon (though a HUGE percentage of all successful artists fall under that umbrella) if only because of her age. It is VERY rare for anyone, nepotism or not, to produce, direct, write, and be the showrunner (which I assume she does) at age 25. I mean, unheard of. But damn if that show isn't uncomfortably entertaining. Consider me a fan. And her weight or looks mean absolutely nothing to me.

Agree, R24.
I like Jeanie Berlin but I a problem with this girl. She doesnt seem to have much personality to make up for her plain looks.
[quote]It is VERY rare for anyone, nepotism or not, to produce, direct, write, and be the showrunner (which I assume she does) at age 25. I mean, unheard of. Remember how about ten, fifteen years ago twenty something directors were all the rage? If you were 29, you were considered old for a first time director. I guess the same trend will be hitting TV soon.
She definitely looks a lot better in interviews. Good hair and makeup really make a difference.
I have come to find her adorable. Yes, I went to a Midwestern liberal arts college full of unwashed schlubs, why do you ask?
Anyone blind to this girl's obvious intelligence and talent is not someone I'd want to know. I know humor is subjective. Even if her show doesn't make you laugh (again, unimaginable to me) I can't imagine not recognizing her powers of observation and writing talent. The show is filled with realistic conversation (not necessarily subject matter, but interaction). Really remarkable, especially for someone of her age. I'm glad she's getting all this critical approbation. Especially by comparison with all the crap out there, she deserves it.
BOOBIES!!

I saw her on Jimmy Fallon's show last night. I gather this woman doesn't own a mirror? Her legs were huge (not huge as in muscular, huge as in FAT) and she was wearing a very short dress. Gabourey Sidibe would never show up with such a short dress! She must be one delusional young woman to think she looks good. There are always photos of her showing her fat legs and they are not still from the TV series. There was a recent unflattering shot of her in shorts slurping on some drink on the set, she's repulsive. I guess this Dunham's mission in life, to show the world thatfat plain women can get laid? That's how her character in the show comes across, "I'm so annoying and fug, yet I can get laid everyday!". Meanwhile, her boyfriend on the show is constantly working out, as if such a guy would date woman who looks like Lena? Sure, there are a lot of women with less than stellar bodies, but they the sense to dress appropriately. I guess Lena Dunham is what happens when you are raised by two loony self absorbed artist parents who never stopped telling their daughter how wonderful and talented she was. As for her appearance on Fallon's show, the banter with Jimmy was quite painful and I really cannot believe Fallon thinks she's as cute and talented he kept telling her she was. Give Jimmy an Oscar! And show Dunham the door, enough of this ridiculous hype!
r34 how OLD are you?? I will guess 57
" Re: Leba Dunham star of HBO's girls is so fat and ugly...." Leba Dunham sounds like a Datalounge "Primetimer".
Who cares what she looks like? She's talented and I like her work. Lay off.
...that she looks like an 60 year old Justin Bieber.

ADR, r25, but it's unheard of because talented people that age wouldn't be given a shot unless they had a connection, not because they're not out there or incapable. If they're younger, it will be harder to sell a new cultural take to older execs. No suit is going to take that risk unless they have a connection, i.e. someone will vouch for them. I get the feeling that this is more true in TV than movies. I also wonder how much producing and showrunning she actually does. Seriously. That is a lot of work in a short time frame. To me it seems like hype--look a the amazing multi-hyphenate! Shonda Rhimes is the same--two shows, producing, showrunning and some writing (or story plotting)--really? And I'm not throwing shade at Shonda-she's obviously proven herself with GA. It just seems impossible. It reminds me of the music industry where people like Beyonce and Taylor Swift get writing and production credits while unsung veterans do the work. I don't give a shit about her looks either, especially in the context of her show. She's self-aware enough (unlike Mindy Kaling) not to write herself out of her league to the point where viewers will be turned off.
Assholes, it's not her job to be skinny and pretty.
she looks like dough.
I don't care what she looks like. Her show has a fun dynamic, though I find her prose and intellect overrated thus far. She's no "genius."
Her star will fade eventually. It happens to everyone. I assume she will try her hand in Hollywood and do OK. As R39 said, sometimes all you need is to surround yourself with a talented group of key collaborators. The other thing about her age... at 24, or however old she is, she is not thinking about risk or failure. None of us do at that age. That's why early 20s can be a very productive time for a creative person. But that changes as well.
Leba Dunham is so fat and ugly she reminds me of Lena Dunham?
John Sununu. Nah, not really. I think Lena is cute and smart. She's probably happier than the skinny bitches who obsess over every calore. She's chunky and she owns it. I'm surprised no one called the OP out for not even knowing her name.
[quote]She's self-aware enough (unlike Mindy Kaling) not to write herself out of her league to the point where viewers will be turned off. Can you explain what you mean by this? I watched an episode of Mindy's new show and I didn't like it, but I can't really articulate why.
A potato!

She's this year's Diablo Cody who has also faded into obscurity thankfully.

r25 Seth MacFarlane beat her to this allegedly "unheard of" feat. And he really had no connections, unlike Miss Nepo Tism. Anyway, I find her to be very boring. She is just another hipster who is still hanging on to her 21 year old college "cool years", and all of the overweight and frumpy, self-loathing girls have adopted her as their savior for some reason. It's the same reason they loved frumpy, boring Peggy on Mad Men.
r51 do people really like Peggy on MM? I hate her with every inch of my being and think she ruins would could be a great show.
Her face looks like a lump of dough covered in white flour, with two lumps of coal for eyes. I'd have a hard time picking her out of a lineup consisting of one nondescript shit who was born on 3rd and thinks she hit a triple.
R31 = Lena Tovah Leba Tilly Bubbie Dunham
r52 I agree with you, but yes, women love Peggy. Any criticism of her is taken extremely personally by them because to them, they are her.
r51
R25, I said it was rare, not unheard of. What Seth MacFarlane did was also very rare. However, he went to Rhode Island, which is like going to Iowa for fiction writers or Yale for intellectuals. So, that certainly helped him get his foot in the animation door, just as Lena Dunham's connections helped her. Both should be applauded and both are very talented.
She serialized her movie Tiny Furniture to create Girls. I liked the film, but the show leaves me cold. She should maybe try her hand at a hipster romantic comedy next.
[quote]a hipster romantic comedy next. noooooooooooooooooo!

Soon, she'll get body lipo a nose job implants etc. Happens to them all just a matter of type the hook is she looks like a normal -read, pudgy- white girl and all fat ww want to be skinny blond b's. Just a matter of time her makeover is coming.
If you really think that, then you are completely missing the degree of her commitment to love herself despite not fitting into the mainstream's idea of beauty. That part is genuinely genuine, I can tell. And the more people give her shit for showing her cellulite on the red carpet, the more she gets off on doing it.
[quote]And the more people give her shit for showing her cellulite on the red carpet, the more she gets off on doing it. I guarantee you that will change once she hits 30. She can play the cute card for another year, but that's about it. After that, she'll just be a fat actress, and it will bother her.
Lena is a spoiled, pampered exhibitionist who flaunts her homeliness because she has no beauty to flaunt. Showing her cellulite is a manipulative, passive-aggressive tactic to make the media accept her ugliness and to shame them if they voice disgust. Unlike the other young women in her peer group, Lena will never be lusted after by a high status male and she knows that. No amount of success or fame or money or nepotism will change that. Having sex with her will always be a pity fuck. Hence, the bitterness and the flaunting of her ugliness.
"Ugly" women tick off people when they refuse to possess the low-esteem people think they ought to. People want women to either fit into the mainstream's idea of beauty, or, if they don't, to be sufficiently ashamed and self-loathing. Lena don't do either of those, hence the anger at her.
I'm a gay male. I'm considered very attractive. I genuinely don't understand gay men who have so much vested in a female's supposed beauty or sex appeal. Who the hell cares? One of my best friends is like this. He's a brilliant, brilliant man but constantly comments on the "looks" of certain actresses, designers, artists whatever, and often decides to like them only if they pass his "beauty test", even if their other qualifications are immaculate. I find it so damn weird. I get it with guys, but women?

Well said.
I don't like her work, but I like her confidence. Rather, I might get ticked off if someone of any appearance constantly expresses low self-esteem. [quote] I genuinely don't understand gay men who have so much vested in a female's supposed beauty or sex appeal. Who the hell cares? Exactly this. My (bisexual) dad is in a creative industry, and has two PhDs. I always thought his career of choice and his constant aesthetic critiques of womens' bodies and faces were somehow related. It's pretty sick. I remember being what, 5 years old, when he first described the shape and thickness evolution of a female business associate's breasts and thighs, in detail. One time I heard him tell a (very talented, gracious, and world-renowned) female musician, "I'd say it's good to see you again, but I can't tell if you're coming or going! Step away from the pastries, yes? Pahahaha." He's an asshole. How can you treat people like that and [a.] not be embarrassed about your own glaring insecurity, and [b.] not expect people to criticize and make fun of you just as much!?

No, that's just what the homely girls tell themselves to make themselves feel better.
"I genuinely don't understand gay men who have so much vested in a female's supposed beauty or sex appeal. Who the hell cares? " I think it has something to do with only gay men understanding the power of the male gaze, since they can see it uniquely from having been on both sides of the fence. I'm too stoned to explain myself further.
"Unlike the other young women in her peer group, Lena will never be lusted after by a high status male and she knows that." You can't possibly imagine that a lot of women don't give a shit if some "high status male lusts" after her?

R68, Maybe, but it doesn't make sense that other people should care what someone looks like, unless they look so bad that it justifiably causes concern for humanity at large.
Often the same gay men who invest in women's appearances are the same ones who think women aren't worth anyone's time, are the same ones who go to the trouble of starting online threads about women's appearances.
You queens are like many African Americans they prefer the women pudgy cause underneath it all you hate good looking women. She WILL be getting plastic surgery it will happen when she goes blonde. You heard it hear first. Ugly ducking with turn into a swan with the help of a good man, a good trainer whatever lie they will create as she recuperates from body lipo, implants, etc. Take off the Hag Goggles, my dear queens.
I don't get it either, r65. So many gay men really do become over-invested in women's appearance, often to the point of obsessive anger. As it is, women have to take enough shit about their looks from straight men (and from other women, which I don't get, either). But gay men? I really don't get it. And am I the only one who doesn't even think Lena is that ugly anyway? She's not pretty, but there's an entire middle ground between "pretty" and "hideously ugly." Only in comparison to Hollywood standards is she some sort of troll whose face should never be allowed to see the light of day. I'm glad she's challenging Hollywood conventional wisdom, even with all the detractors it gets her.
"But gay men? I really don't get it." Well, you know what they say. What doesn't kill us makes us bitter.

God, people who refer to people as ugly are the worst. I get someone's looks might not interest you but be mature and keep it to yourself.
[quote]And am I the only one who doesn't even think Lena is that ugly anyway? Naw. She's normal looking and sometimes very cute. Regardless, she's really not about her looks anyway. I think that's what drives people crazy, too. It's like, you're not making enough effort! Feel bad that you have cellulite! How dare you act against the norm for how women are supposed to relate to the world!
Geez, you people really suck at Match Game.

She is on the thicker side. I wouldn't say she is really fat.
TERD
Is the OP the nut who's started about 10 topics about Lena Dunham's appearance? God, get some perspective.
Lena Duhnam is so fat and ugly.... she has a wildly successful TV show that she writes and acts in herself unlike OP, who I'm sure has done nothing half as impressive.
Brett%20Butler
This girl is a cow. And after watching the episode where her character bangs this doctor, i gotta say she's delusional too. Be realistic Lena. If you're going to have Hannah have sex with someone on the show, make it believable by casting guys with Atleast a size 40 waist. Oink
It would be more realistic if they showed the doctor wanting to get rid of her once he fucked her. Now that's a real reality for average looking girls and even for pretty ones....but not once has she ever wrote about rejection. All the men want her. She is delusional.
