Laura San Giacomo is well known for an overwhelming physical trademark; her distinctively large breasts have often been a source of attention, discussion and appeasement amongst fans. It was especially evident during the latter seasons of Just Shoot Me! when they seemed to take a life of their own and her bustline rivaled that of adult film stars.
The noticeable sagginess in San Giacomo’s chest suggests that they are natural. Also, due to her relatively short height, they appear to take up most of her upper torso. They also appeared to be get bigger over the course of her tenure on the NBC sitcom. She was noticeably smaller in her early roles in film and it has been speculated that she uses a minimizer brassiere to reduce the size of their grandiose appearance.
Producers who cast San Giacomo were very much aware of her tremendous assets; she had a few strategic topless teasing in movies. During her six year run on Just Shoot Me!, not only was she often wearing tight sweaters, but it was not rare (especially in later seasons) for other characters to acknowledge her breasts. Multiple situations on the show involved her breasts (her character was even tricked to wear a see-through dress in public, though her nude body was shown to viewers in pixelization).
A former writer of the program indicated that the size of her breasts was always an issue for San Giacomo as she was always insisting on wardrobe that minimized them, while the producers and network were always pushing in the opposite direction.
