Was Hope Emerson a trail blazer?


Her description here reads:-

Although there may have been "bigger" actresses in Hollywood's history, there were few larger than Hope Emerson. She notably appeared as a witness for the defense in "Adam's Rib". At 6' 2" and 230 pounds, she towered over many of her male co-stars.

Is there any implication here? Would she have been a huge success in today's more enlightened world?
