Though Melanie Field is a relatively new face on TV, she's no stranger to the world of reboots; she made her big splash in the TV reboot of the iconic 1988 film "Heathers" as its villain, Heather Chandler. However, the series was short-lived due to Paramount Network's uneasiness with its subject matter following 2018's Parkland shooting. "The combination of a high school show with these very dark moments didn't feel right," according to the network's president, Keith Cox (via The Hollywood Reporter). But this setback didn't stop Field from landing recurring roles in Netflix's hit show "You" and Aidy Bryant's Hulu series, "Shrill." Fields also nabbed a leading role as Kaitlyn on the sitcom "Florida Girls," a show developed by Pop TV, the network that premiered sleeper hit "Schitt's Creek."

She's now making her way as an actress, activist, and mental health advocate, and even posted a music video on Instagram that tells her story of body acceptance. In the video's caption, she wrote that her song "Now I Know" is "the story of some of the most difficult experiences of my life." She added, "But it is equally a celebration of unconditional self-love. It is a rallying cry for body liberation and an indictment of fatphobia in all its forms." 

The multi-talented actress is clearly ready to promote an inclusive message on body acceptance and fight for positive representations both on-screen and off.
