Melanie Lynskey is known as “the nicest person in Hollywood.” But today, she’s taking the gloves off. The star of the Showtime smash “Yellowjackets”, Melanie channels her dark side by playing complicated, uncompromising characters. In this episode, she reveals to Katie the decades of pain she experienced as she failed to attain Hollywood’s standards of beauty. It wasn’t until she decided not to play that game that she actually got what she wanted: success on her terms. And she’s not sorry for it.  This episode contains references to disordered eating that may be triggering to people with or in recovery from eating disorders.   Want to be a know-it-all?
