Cho is currently a member of the cast of Lifetime’s new series “Drop Dead Diva,” which premiered on July 12. The story line follows a shallow wanna-be model, who unexpectedly dies in a car crash and comes back to life in the body of a “plus-size brilliant attorney.” Cho is on hand as her assistant, helping her to navigate the ramifications of her new physical presence. Lifetime is partnering with two non-profit organizations to drive a conversation about “being healthy at every size.” Working with Jess Weiner, self-esteem and body image expert, mylifetime.com is featuring “toolkits” to help audiences explore the topics presented in each episode.

Fifteen years after “All American Girl,” women are still struggling to break free from the parameters of “conventional beauty.” With Margaret Cho telling it like it is, the fight might become a little easier.

Answer: Anything I like.
Tomorrow would look like today and yesterday and every day since I was born. I am beautiful.
