Where's Camryn Manheim when ya need her.
She led a pretty successful campaign to make a number of actresses regain their weight when they became practically anorexic in the 90's. Ally McBeal's cast were the biggest offenders in the 90's, along with the cast of friends.
She should get involved again, and get more actresses to regain weight. I know Portia de Rossi was skeletal in the 90's, but she put alot of weight back on, regained her figure, and looks darn good because of it. Yes, she is a lesbian, and us straight males were certainly heartbroken when we heard it (nothing wrong with her being gay, but when she was THAT good looking...let's just say that the cries of "NOOOOOOO!!!" could be heard from across the globe). I remember one of the four guys I was sharing an apartment with at the time exclaiming "She's a Lesbian!!!! But she's the finest looking woman on television!!!".
Ah well, I digress, someone should definitely do a Camryn Manheim job, and call on all the actresses to put on weight again. I mean, certain producers are actually telling the actresses to lose weight on shows. I know I hark back to Ally McBeal again, but Courtney Thorne Smith, who worked on that show, said that a number of producers and people working on the show would come up to her, among others, and say she needed to lose a few pounds. I think this may partially have had something to do with hiding the fact that Calista Flockhart had an obvious eating disorder.
