Darlene very beautiful lady she also played Bonnie in the classic whats eating Gilbert grape am very proud of her for coming out of her house and went on the Sally show proud of her speaking out.

I thought that was her. Thank you for confirming.

[@eh-i1841]

As long as she’s proud of herself,that’s all that matters.

[@jenniferhansen3622]

I thought that was her!! What a memorable movie. 💖

[@johnfd0210]

If forgot how kind and compassionate Miss Raphael was to her guests. Really nice to see.

God bless these women......the first time I saw Gilbert Grape, I cried so hard that my shirt was actually wet.....now I just sob for 20 minutes or so......on a lighter note, I grew up in Fort Wayne, IN and these commercials are amazing.....I guess they're burned into my brain because I just start singing right along....my daughter had more than one birthday party at Paige's Crossing.....and Roger's grocery store......and are there even any more Kmart's around to get a portrait package for $12.95? I'm going to show this to my 73 year old mom she's gonna love this!

In the movie -Whats eating Gilbert Grape- was the first time I ever seen a person of her size. Way be fore my 600 pound life.

Sorry off topic but that Comcast commercial got me only 5 dollars for installation 😂 today's price 100$ no I don't know what it cost now I just know no where near 5 bucks just struck me was all

[@Starlababy]

Leonardo Decaprio, andJohnny Depp, good movie with her as mom. The movie "What's eating Gilbert Grape".

Bonnie Cates died in 2017.She managed to lose 250lbs,but still weighed 350lbs. She was 69,so on this show,she must have been quite young.

[@latoyawinston1007]

From what how you find out wow sorry to hear thanks for the info

[@jenniferhansen3622]

​@@latoyawinston1007It's easy to read about her because she was an actress. One of her most memorable roles was in the movie "What's eating Gilbert Grape?" That's an excellent movie if you ever have the opportunity to see it! 😊

R.I.P Darlene

[@latoyawinston1007]

What she did to how did you find this out was it from old age

[@divaextraordinary]

Is she still alive? What happened to her? I hope she found strength and healing.

[@tubester4567]

She died in 2017 at age 69. In 2012 she lost 240 pounds but spent a full year in hospital. Im surprised she lasted that long.
