Dorothy is a popular film star specializing in comedy roles because she’s overweight. She believes director Richard dated her out of pity. Dr. King thinks her “deep need for affection” and “fear of rejection” are the “cause of her excessive over-eating”--she’s the product of a broken home and her divorced parents each spoiled her. Dr. King puts Dorothy on a diet and exercise regimen. Now thin, she begins a new career in glamour roles and learns Richard really loves her. “I’m quite sure that the solving of your emotional problems will enable you to lead a happy, normal life!” Dr. King says.
