I seem to recall reading somewhere that Jewell had to gain 20 pounds to get the right look for Firefly. In these photos she seems to have lost those extra pounds.
Just curious. Does anyone know?
Jewel set the record straight at a Con. Here's what she said...
Q: What did you think about Joss wanting you to gain weight for your role as Kaylee??
Jewel: I, I had broken my collar bone about a year before I got the part of Kaylee. And, when I broke that collarbone, I sat on my ass and ate for like 2 months. And I gained about 20-25 pounds. And once I was better and healed, I was like "Ok, I can't fit into any of my favorite pants. What's going on??" So I started working out, and I started doing yoga, and I really got into yoga, and I was really enjoying it. And I lost all the weight and I was feeling real happy. I was in the best shape I had ever been in. And then Joss was like "Yeah - can you gain 20 pounds??" >>laughs, general laughter<< I was like "God! Why?" I was in a jump suit and I was like "You can't see anything. I mean I have a round face anyway, no matter what I do. But, like what's the big deal??" But he just wanted her to be, he just wanted her to be round. He describes her as round. Round personality. She's round, she's got this round fullness around her. She's so full of love, and happiness, and feeling. She's so emotional. He's like "I just see her as, you know, a voluptuous kind of woman." I was like, >>pause<< "Um ok." >>general laughter<< So, he gave me about 3 weeks... And, which is not a lot of time >>general laughter<< when you're in your early 20s it's hard to put that weight on immediately. Like it's probably not gonna be like that forever for me, but uhh, it was difficult. So I ate a lot of cheeseburgers and french fries and piled on the calories, didn't work out. And I was very tired at first. I just felt so full and bloated. And I was just like "Ugggh, oh God! This is just horrible." And Nathan would come up to me and I'd be at Kraft Service eating a donut. And he'd be like "How ya doing??" I'd be like >>rolls eyes<< "I'm so full!" I was full all the time. For the movie, Joss was like "You know what?? You're Kaylee. I'm not going to give the part to anybody else. So, don't worry about the weight gain thing. You can do what you want." And I was like "Alright! Cool. Thank you. Appreciate that." So now I can just eat what I want and when I'm full I can stop. It's nice.

Thanks for the info, Jahzara. Having Kaylee thinner is fine with me.
And, much easier on poor Jewel. Gaining and losing weight like that is not healthy. Jewel has a special place in heart: it was her proselytizing Jerry Pournelle at a SF convention, reported on his website, that led me to Firefly in the first place.

Yeah. Poor Jewel! ...Course, I hope it isn't too obvious in the movie. I'm already in shock about Book looking so different. Guess the rules of his order changed?

Early: Where'd she go?
Simon: I can't keep track of her when she's NOT incorporeally possessing a spaceship, don't look at me --
