What a surprise!

Ally McBeal star Calista Flockhart reveals that she had an eating problem back in the day.


"I couldn't play Ally if I was sick. It is too mentally and physically challenging. I'm healthy, I eat well, and there's really not much more I can say about it."

"She is healthy," the staffer said. "She is fine."

But no, she wasn't fine after all. What a surprise. Who would have guessed! I can only count a few of her ribs through her dress, surely that's normal for Hollywood!

Alright, enough snark. Women with eating disorders rarely admit to them in the midst of it. Denial and lying are a big part of the process, I can't blame her for that. Buy why did not one conduct an intervention? Why did so many people who worked with her directly lie for her and let this go on? It was clear (very very clear) that she had a problem. Good God. What's wrong with the world.

I remember this picture. I think a similar one of Lara Fylnn Boyle went up around the same time. I think this was when I started to be able to tell if someone was unhealthlly thin. Both women had extremely thin arms. They looked like aliens. I think one of the Spice Girls had the same look at one point. *shudders*
