Actress Mary Elizabeth Winstead from Death Proof, Die Hard 4.0 and Final Destination 3 has a healthy attitude to her body: "I’m from North Carolina, where it’s all about greasy, fatty foods. I like having curves. It’s weird seeing girls who look like beanpoles. The more famous girls get, the smaller they get."

Despite this Winstead is never going to pose nude: "When I see nudity in film, I don't at all look down on the person who is doing it. I think great for them. I don't want the people around me to have to feel differently about me or to have to feel uncomfortable. I don’t want to be in a film that I can’t show my family or my parents."
Mary Elizabeth has been acting since she was 12, but really entered Hollywood in her late teens. That was the time when she experimented a little: "When I was 18, I went to clubs and did a lot of drinking for about a month. I got over it. Now it’s about ordering pizza at home." She has also never dated anyone in Hollywood and her boyfriend for the last three years is Riley Stearns from Austin, Texas. This is why Winstead today can state confidently, "I'm pretty normal and definitely far from being anything Hollywood. I don't venture out to clubs very much. I keep to myself."
"I consider myself a size 6 to be a pretty normal girl", explains the 22-year-old Winstead. "I think actresses need to be more confident about their bodies, because I'm getting work right now and no one is telling me that I need to lose weight."
But the effect of all the stick-thin starlets around her was a little disconcerting for Mary Elizabeth: "The majority of girls in Hollywood are a size 0 or 2. When you're surrounded by that, you can start to feel that's what you need to look like."
Mary Elizabeth Winstead has three sisters and one brother, who happens to be an electrical engineer. She says she picked up a love for gadgets from him and is also hooked to the Internet! "I'm constantly on computer or my phone or watching something on TV or a DVD. It's like constant. You've got to get that fix. There's got to be something to watch, something to look at, something to feed my brain with. It would be nice to get out and do something more adventurous from time to time."
Winstead has trained as a dancer when she was younger. While she has no ambitions of losing her curves, "I incorporate exercise into my daily routine. I recently started running and I do kick-boxing DVDs, too. At the end of the day, the most important thing to me is being healthy and fit."
Lately Mary Elizabeth was in the dance movie, Make It Happen. "I had to do a month of training of about eight hours a day or more and it was pretty intense they wanted me to do everything so I was doing the tricks and all the crazy stuff that my body hadn't done in years."
Being brown-haired and with those beautiful curves, Winstead was a natural for the part of Wonder Woman and also did a screen test for The Justice League Of America, but: "There was all this speculation on whether I was going to get the part and all this stuff, it ended up going to an Australian actress who is beautiful and very Wonder Womanesque hopefully that all works out for her." Yes, we will be seeing Aussie model Megan Gale as Wonder Woman.
