How much does VE weigh

this is NOT a bashing thread. But if tv makes you look bigger, how much do you think she weighed while filming this. I am watching now and from the Mandy segment, I would say 90 lbs

She looks taller but I'd guess at 5'5, 92 lbs. Not a whole lot of bodyfat on that frame.

According to her Bio she suffered from Anorexia much of her adult life.

I always thought she looked healthiest in 'Choreography', much thinner in 'Mandy' and 'Abraham'.

I agree. In some numbers she looks much thinner and not as thin in others.

I think they weighed her on a calorie scale

Having been a professional dancer for several years, lifting women like Vera-Ellen every day, I estimate she weighed between 115 and 120 pounds. She also appeared to be perfectly healthy and athletic. For a dancer, taking class, rehearsing, and performing for several hours a day at least six days a week burns a whole lot of calories.
