In Hollywood if you’re good looking, tall, have OK teeth and nice skin, the odds of being successful are great. If you’re short and fat, it’s a different story. But as long as you look like a leading man type, half your job is done already.
Meaning of the quote
In Hollywood, if you look a certain way - tall, good-looking, with nice teeth and skin - you have a much better chance of becoming successful. But if you're short and overweight, things are more difficult. As long as you have the appearance of a leading man, you've already completed half the work to become successful in the entertainment industry.
