I attribute that to all the massive hormones they feed to cows and chickens. If you notice each generation is getting taller and meatier.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04163200534211789750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7969706531075939050.post-76675220143926550402019-11-24T14:37:56.836-08:002019-11-24T14:37:56.836-08:00Vera Ellen didn't suffer from anorexia.

This rumor has been debunked many times - her family, friends and acquaintances frequently and consistently asserverated that she didn't have any eating disorder. Her thinness during "White Christmas," which is admittedly more than is seen in some of her other film appearances, was due to unusually grueling rehearsal and dance requirements, especially as her numbers were so spectacular. This type of figure is not unusual among dancers. When I was 24, I was 5'8" and weighted only 112 pounds. And I have never been anorexic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
