Marissa Jaret Winokur reveals 50lb weight loss and wears a patriotic bikini to drop off her ballot

She’s used her platform to keep fans informed about social justice issues plaguing the United States.

And Marissa Jaret Winokur made sure to cast her ballot for the upcoming presidential election at one of the many drop boxes located in Los Angeles County. 

Not only did the 47-year-old actress rock her vote, she also showed off the results from a 50lb weight loss and sported a patriotic bikini top.

The Hairspray star looked delighted to be participating in the election in her eclectic red, white and blue ensemble.

She took a note from her favorite musical, Hamilton, and captioned the snap: ‘History has its eyes on you.’ 

Marissa wore a navy blue skirt to match her plaid flannel shirt as she rocked a black face mask with ‘vote’ plastered in bold white lettering.

Not one to miss out on added flair, Winokur rocked a pair of patriotic pom poms in her hair and bright red Converse sneakers.

Marissa embarked on a health and fitness journey earlier this year amid the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic. 

Due to her history with cervical cancer and asthma, the Broadway star realized she was considered ‘high risk’ and was worried about the effects of the virus.

With help from trainer Keith Anthony via Zoom and analyzing some of her eating habits, Winokur shed 50 pounds.

‘Now we do not know (besides the obvious) who is more susceptible to COVID,’ she wrote on Instagram, adding that ‘losing weight will not stop the spread!!’

‘But getting myself as strong as possible to fight it at least makes me FEEL like I am doing something. It makes me FEEL like if I can kick cancers ass I can do this too.’
