Hollywood Eating Disorders

October 28, 1998 | Issue 34•13

Helen Hunt, Courteney Cox and Ally McBeal's Calista Flockhart are among a wave of actresses recently rumored to have eating disorders. What do you think about extreme thinness in Hollywood?

Minority Guy

Dennis Pittman,
Claims Adjuster
"Helen Hunt has an eating disorder? You'd compulsively self-induce vomiting too if you had to listen to Paul Reiser whine all day."

Blonde Girl

Teri LaCorte,
Waitress
"It's almost as if Hollywood puts a premium on thinness and beauty."

Wimpy Guy

David Ruhle,
Systems Analyst
"It's wrong to assume a woman has an eating disorder just because she's a bit thin. She may just be in the final stages of cancer."

Guy With Sunglasses

Larry Sambito,
Accountant
"It could be worse. They could be getting big and fat like that cow Kate Winslet."

Girl With Glasses

Alison Howe,
Bank Teller
"They're only doing it because the camera adds 75 to 80 pounds."

Other Guy

Matt Sutton,
Plumber
"So you're saying our nation's sitcom actresses may be starving themselves to death? Now what is the problem exactly?"
