Eating disorder? Or just pressure to be thin?

Besides "W.", where she was so effectively disguised that I didn't even know it was her, the only other movie I've seen Thandie Newton in recently was "Run Fatboy Run!" and I must say she looked frightenly thin. I can't imagine that this is her natural body type. She's been NAKED before, in some early films, and she didn't look especially thin. Now she's just a walking sack of bones! She doesn't get much play in the U.S. media so there hasn't been a whole lot of discussion about it, but the evidence suggests that she either has an eating disorder or the pressure for an actress to be thin has pushed her into an unhealthy lifestyle. I, for one, do not find these freakishly thin actresses at all sexy. Give me a healthy, voluptuous, curvy body any day. Or rather EVERY day!

She looks fine to me. She has a small frame.

Well, I just hope she's fine, and that she has indeed reached what is for her a natural and healthy weight. I see pictures of Teri Hatcher jogging, and she has the most unattractive sticks for legs. Skinny does not necessarily mean healthy, nor does it equal sexy!
