Faye Dunaway in the beginning

Am I the only one who does not find it attractive when she's walking around naked in the beginning? She's so bony, it doesn't look good at all, it looks painful.

I read an article about Faye Dunaway where she said she had eaten
nothing but grapefruit for about 2 weeks, so she could get tht srawny
look. She said that she had lost about 20 lbs overall for the role.

Normally, I would agree with you because I prefer a little more meat on a woman's bones, but she's the most gorgeous scrawny woman I have ever seen on film. Besides, the real Bonnie was on the thin side, too, so it looks like Faye got that part right about her.

No blah, blah, blah!

What? No way, she looked wonderful. I thought she looked quite healthy. I do generally appreciate the thin look like Jane Birkin or Twiggy.

I don't want realism. I want magic!
