Photo by Starfrenzy/BigStock.com I weighed 138 pounds. I'm 5 foot 8, so by the charts I'm in there. But by the way we're supposed to work, I'm maybe five pounds over. But [Peter Weir] is the only director who said, 'Please, don't lose weight.' I couldn't believe it. It's the first time that anybody has ever said that to me. Oh, God, what a relief!-- 1993 The whole business of trying to stay thin all the time can drive us crazy. I used to look at my figure and think 'fat', yet I look at old pictures of myself and I was a lot thinner and lighter than today.
I was around 8st 10lb for my height of 5ft 8in and yet I was still being told by certain photographers that I should be thinner!
The trouble is that Hollywood and the modelling world are obsessed with weight and the victims are the girls who'll do anything to lose it.
