Marie Claire cover
Dunham appears on the cover of the October 2013 issue of Marie Claire. She talks about her parents and how she learned to love her body.
My parents both have really healthy attitudes about their own bodies but also about the range of things that can be beautiful. But they also just always made me feel pretty and cool and smart, even in the moments when I have known — and still know — that my body wasn’t fitting into a traditional Hollywood idea of the female body.
