The Writeup: It's very rare that you see a heavy woman gain acceptance, and mainstream work, in Hollywood, but Camryn Manheim has defied that thinking and is a popular and talented actress on one of TV's most popular legal dramas. Her first feature film role was in 1990's The Bonfire Of The Vanities, but it was four years until we saw her on the big screen again (she guested on Law & Order in the meantime, playing three different characters in three different episodes). But 1994 saw her career pick up and she was never out of work again. It began with The Road To Wellville (1994), and continued with Cracking Up (1994), Jeffrey (1995) and Eraser (1996). 1997 was a very good year though, that was the year Camryn landed the role of Eleanor Frutt on the David E. Kelley legal drama The Practice. It was a big hit for ABC right out of the box and she still plays the part to this day. After the show her feature film offers increased, and some of her notable films include Mercury Rising (1998), Happiness (1998), Fool's Gold (1998), Joe The King (1999), What Planet Are You From (2000), The Tic Code (2000), and The Laramie Project (2002).
