Natasha is claiming her well-deserved place in the spotlight with her Hulu series ‘How To Die Alone.’ After winning audiences over as Kelli on ‘Insecure,’ she’s unapologetically stepping into her role as creator and showrunner, proving that she’s a force to be reckoned with
New York, NY (September 26, 2024) – Primetime EMMY® Award-nominated actress, writer and producer Natasha Rothwell is in the spotlight on the October cover of HelloBeautiful. Known for her memorable roles on Insecure and The White Lotus, Natasha has stepped into a new era – as the creator and lead in the Hulu series How To Die Alone, where she plays a woman who has never experienced love, but a near-death accident inspires her to dream and live life again. The season finale of How To Die Alone marks a transitional time for Natasha, from trying to minimize her presence to embracing her main character energy.
In our HelloBeautiful cover story, penned by Allison McGevna, our SVP of Content, the writer, showrunner, and actress revealed that she once struggled with shoulder pain because she would “fold herself” to not “take up space.”
“There was a time in my life that I had really bad cramping in my [shoulders] because I would fold myself on subway. Because I didn’t want to take up space. I felt like I was an inconvenience. The consequence of not allowing yourself to take up space is physical. It’s actual physical pain.”
In this issue, we break down life lessons we learned from How To Die Alone, more iconic Black plus-size TV characters, and navigating the dating world as a plus-size Black woman.
On the anxiety of finally being seen:
It’s been an interesting tightrope to walk. I’ve wanted to be seen my whole life. I’ve wanted people to look at me and acknowledge my existence and be able to reflect my existence in the world and be a participant and not a spectator. But, especially this week with this press run … I feel very, very seen and have been the most anxious in my life because it’s also, you open yourself up to critique … Now I’m here in this position where I’m being seen, and I have to trust the work that I’ve done courtesy of my therapy, that regardless of how the winds of critique may blow, I hold firm to who I am, and that’s new for me.
