Thin actresses

Yep, I think they get thinner and thinner. It disgusts me especially when it's in the news. What celebrity is so deathly thin, blah, blah, I am like who cares. Show me something more meaningful happening in the world. I don't like my teenage girls seeing all those super thin people. I always tell my girls look around because in the real world, real women have meat on their bones.

I think the actresses on TV and in movies are way too thin. Women are supposed to look like women not like 12 year old boys. Women are supposed to have curves. Just look at Calista Flockheart for a perfect example of the demands made on women in the film industry. When she did Birdcage, she looked like a healthy young woman. When she first started Ally McBeal she looked healthy. By the time Ally McBeal ended she was a walking skeleton. Courtney Thorn-Smith, who was also on Ally McBeal quit because the producers told her to lose 20 pounds because she appeared "fat" next to Calista. Portia de Rossi also quit because of demands to lose weight. Some actresses have had to sue when threatened with firing over gaining weight while pregnant. HELLO!! If a woman is preggers, she has to gain weight. Maybe characters are written out of shows because the actress gets preggers or gains too much weight by the producers standards. Catherine Zeta Jones, who is beautiful, got tons of bad press for daring to gain 60 pounds or so while pregnant. She told the media "I am latin and we feed our babies". The impact on young people is evident in that fact that little girls and boys as young as 6 are worried about getting fat. You have children as young as 8 being treated for anorexia and bulimia. Hollywood needs to wake up and start having healthy role models for our children. The average woman in America wears a size 14. The average actress wears a size 2. Something is seriously wrong if the public thinks that is healthy.

I do not feel that they are too thin as I think they all look great and do not need to change their appearance. I think sometimes the movie directors have something to do with a persons appearance when doing a movie. I have not had a problem with the way any of the actresses looked in any of the movies that I have seen.

i think ur right,the way todays actresses r sheding there muscles and turning into just a skeleton..love atresses like drew barrymore she looks so cute and lovely..so chubby chubby.

some of them definetly are too thin.that "waif" look is too much.there's a few that look like walking skeletons.

I agree with you. Many actresses and models today are far too thin. They don't look healthy and I think it does damage the self-image of young girls who compare themselves to these impossibly thin, "perfect" people. Kids should know that many of these women not only have unhealthy diets but that they also have plastic surgery, Botox, and have hair dressers, make up artists, and stylists to dress them perfectly. Who in real life can compete with that? Our kids need to know that they are beautiful from the inside out.
