Nikki Blonksy: Where Is She Now?

Nicole Margaret Blonsky, Nikki to her fans, is most known for her work in the 2007 movie Hairspray, as Maggie Baker in the 2008 made for TV movie Queen Sized and in the ABC Family original series Huge. This talented and respected actress and singer has not let her weight negatively affect her professional life; in fact, she embraces and even makes a career out of her generous size.

Early career

To talk about Nikki Blonsky's early career is a bit strange since she is only 22 years old, with a bright future ahead of her still. However, you can discuss her work in the theater department of the high school she attended where she appeared in plays such as Sweeney Todd, Les Miserables and Alice in Wonderland. This led to getting cast in her role in the big-screen musical, Hairspray, where she acted alongside John Travolta and Queen Latifah.

Upcoming work

While her resume includes the starring role in a hit movie, finding Nikki Blonsky on television or movie screens is tough nowadays. If you really want to see her, you are going to have to head to Steve Dann, a high-end shoe store in Great Neck, New York. She is supposedly very happy at the moment, signing autographs on the job and getting a kick out of people asking what she is doing in a shoe store. She does say, however that this is only temporary and that she has a project that promises to launch her back into showbiz.

From Hairspray star to shoe sales, the up and down career of this 22 year old actress is destined to see another day in the limelight. Nikki Blonsky seems determined to make it back, but not at the cost of working on a project that she does not like.
