Cookie #32
In Cookie #32 (1951), George lands Fritzi a role in a historical movie, but only if she gains 45 pounds in a month to match the "build of an early American pioneer woman." Owen Fitzgerald's expressive art captures Fritzi's transformation and her fiery reaction when the director dismisses her acting—prompting her to make George foot the bill for her weight-loss treatments.
