Granted, it's not easy to be a super-tall woman in Hollywood. But there are times when it works in my favour.

Other countries around the world make employees and retirees first in the priority. For example, in Mexico, the bankruptcy laws say if a company wants to go bankrupt... obligations to employees and retirees will have a first priority.
