The list on a creator page is only for items that have nowhere else to go. Examples from Precious and The Big C go on their own pages.

!! She provides examples of:
* BeautyInversion : As noted on the page, she was padded and dressed in frumpy clothes to look larger for her role as Precious.
* DawsonCasting : She was 26 when she played Precious, a 10 year age difference over her character. Likewise, her character in ''Series/TheBigC'' is a high school student. She's now over 30 and starting to get some grownup roles.
* IAmNotSpock : After her role as Precious, she was referred to as Precious and shown sympathy, to the point it became absurd. In addition, director Lee Daniels called her "Precious" throughout the DVD commentary.
