Today's Blind Items - She Doesn't Eat
This actress is not someone you think of everyday. She is a really good actress and has had some life changing parts and some shows that were created by A list people but did not get off the ground. She has also not got a lot of parts because people know when they hire her that they are in for a lot of fainting spells and gasps everytime she has to remove any of her clothing. Our actress is C list, but, if not for one slight hiccup with a huge franchise she would probably be a nice solid B and at least being considered for more parts as a lead. Because of her issues, our actress is rarely considered for a lead role and has to really work and make as many connections as possible just to get a good role in a good movie. Our actress has a very serious eating disorder. She rarely eats and when she does, often purges. When she plays roles she has to be able to wear long sleeves and long pants because of how skeletal she can look. Bones everywhere. Her one saving grace for roles is that for some reason her face looks very full despite the rest of her. Indie producers love her talent and are willing to take the risk on her, but big time producers are not. When she was on one show which did not last very long, she fainted at least once a day while being under the hot lights and without food for days. She has a boyfriend. They have been together for a long time and he has tried to get her help, but so far she has refused. He says that she eats just enough to stay alive and nothing more and that he thinks her eating disorder stems from being sexually assaulted as a child.
Christina Ricci?
ReplyDeleteDamn it! That's what I thought. Pan Am being the show that didnt get off the ground. Franchise being the Addams Family.
DeleteI think Jeneral got it.
ReplyDeleterachel lefevre .... the first victoria in twighlight???
ReplyDeleteThat's exactly who I thought!
DeleteI thought so too, except a quick Google has her in White House Down and as the lead in Under the Dome, both coming out this summer. I remembered her from the TV show What About Brian, which I thought was a great show but was cancelled.
DeleteNo way, she was dating a friend of a friend a while back and she's super cute and healthy looking in person. And I saw her scarf down a full meal at brunch.
DeleteI was thinking Keira Knightly
ReplyDeleteRachelle Lafevre

ReplyDelete@pricessd I though Rachel too, but has she had TV shows?
ReplyDeleteShe was in Off the Map. I medical drama created by Shonda Rhimes.
DeleteExcellent guess @jeneral!
ReplyDeleteKate Bosworth
ReplyDelete@EpicBlonde Same ?. LOL. You two posted at the same time. And, I did mean Rachelle, not Rachel
ReplyDeleteAnna Kendrick?
ReplyDeleteSwingtown - which I loved. By the way - first time commenter LONG TIME lurker! HI!
ReplyDeleteHello fellow lurker!
DeleteRicci fits, especially if Speed Racer was meant to be a franchise. Hope it's not her, but then again, I would hope this never happened ever.
ReplyDeleteMinnie Driver
ReplyDeletebosworth was my first thought as well
ReplyDeletebut i dont think bosworth fits the franchise clue
ReplyDeleteWhat abt that superman film she was in that flopped. Wasn't that supposed to be a franchise?
DeleteI like the Christina Ricci guess. The show that "did not get off the ground" could refer to Pan Am. But what was franchise she had a "slight hiccup" with?
ReplyDeleteThe Addams Family movies definitely made her famous forever. But she doesn't look super-thin to me, and I don't think she has a long term boyfriend...
DeleteI don't think Christina Ricci has a long-time boyfriend? I think they've only been together a year?
ReplyDeleteChristian Serratos from Twilight?
ReplyDeleteWelcome @EpicBlonde!
ReplyDeleteChristina Ricci-the franchise may have been 'The Addams Family'?
ReplyDeleteOr if it's Kate Bosworth, the franchise may have been 'Superman Returns' but what TV show was she on?
I don't think Christine Ricci is C list. I'd put her at a solid B.
ReplyDeleteBosworth does fit with the franchise hint. Superman was supposed to be a franchise but it didn't make enough money to warrant being one.
ReplyDeleteCallista Flockhart!
ReplyDeleteBosworth definitely fits this one. In Blue Crush she was normal looking for Hollywood standards, toned/lean/but with a teeny bit of hip and boob. After her break up with Orlando Bloom she lost a ton of weight. Christina Ricci is slim, but googling her picures there's not a rib bone in site, she's got a nice lean hourglass thing going on. Bosworth is scary anorexic skinny and looks like she's barely eating enough to sustain life. Plus Knightly hasn't had any shows, and she's definitely a solid B lister.
ReplyDeleteI'm changing my guess to Kate Bosworth--she was on the 8-episode show "Young Americans" in 2000.
ReplyDeleteFirefly something something Summer Glau something somthing Terminator the Series
ReplyDeleteHmmm, I like this guess.
DeleteNot considered a good actress by hardly anyone, though.
DeleteIt's Hungry Actress Week!
ReplyDeleteThank you @EmEyeKay!
ReplyDeleteIs Bosworth considered a "really great actress", though?
ReplyDeleteThe Hunger Games. literally
ReplyDeleteKristin Kreuk? I don't know much about her except that she was on Smallville for a while.
ReplyDeleteOh, Bosworth. I remember how thin she was in Superman Returns. I couldn't buy her as all grown up/mom Lois Lane anyway, and she was soooo thin I actually found it really distracting. :-(

ReplyDeleteI was thinking Ellen Page for some reason...
ReplyDeleteChrisitina Ricci is definitely a B list. She's not a C. She's also mostly movies, not TV.
ReplyDeleteBosworth is more of a C list. I agree with Max...Superman was supposed to be a franchise and it never took off.
Re: Kate Bosworth...I still the boyfriend clue contradicts this one. She and Michael Polish are just coming up on their 2-year mark, I'm not sure that is "they have been together for a long-time"?
ReplyDeleteI like the Bosworth guess but only 50/50 on it. She had one of those time line picture article in the April Instyle magazine.
ReplyDeleteShe was so cute when she first started out, and on Blue Crush, and then just became super skinny.
But, she has been pap'd out and about.
This is definitely Kate Bosworth.
ReplyDeleteI also don't think I'd classify Kate Bosworth as a "great talent"...sorry.
ReplyDelete@Renoblondee how is your dad doing? I really hope he is ok.
ReplyDeleteI hope it's not Kate Bosworth, especially the sexually assaulted part. I worked for her father. He used to take us to a local theater to see her movies (The Horse Whispered, Remember the Titans and Blue Crush). She was there a couple times with her parents. She always seemed shy, a little bewildered at the attention but sweet. They seem like a nice family.
ReplyDeleteKate Bosworth has an indie movie coming out this summer
ReplyDeleteI was thinking perhaps Ellen Page bc she was only in one of the X Men movies. She seems very tiny and doesn't seem to get much work. But I feel like they would mention if they were once nominated in the blind
If not for the C list it sounds like Angie..
ReplyDeleteI don't think it is Ellen Page. She was in that Roller Derby movie that Drew Berrymore directed and acted in. Ellen's character was always in shorts/short sleeves when skating.
ReplyDeletePlus the only boy she has been linked to that I know of is Alexander Skarsgard.
I like the Kate Bosworth guess, she fits, two years in Hollywood is a long relationship and maybe it wasn't her dad who abused her.
ReplyDeleteAnd I can't remember a picture where I've seen her in shorts and short sleeves, maybe someone can find one from Coachella?
@AllaboutEve-Why do you want to torture us with more Coachella outfits? :)
DeleteWhat about someone like Parker Posey or some indie darling like that?
ReplyDeleteJessi, Parker Posey was my first thought too.
DeleteThe Bos came to mind, Superman Returns being her glitch.
ReplyDeleteShe has a round face, which is added hell for anorexics.
Linda Cardellini?
ReplyDeleteShow run by an A-lister that didn't take off: Freaks and Geeks, franchise was possibly Scooby Doo?
For some reason I thought Sophia Myles, but I actually like Calista Flockhart better.
ReplyDeleteHeather Graham? Franchise = the Hangover?
ReplyDeleteLinda Cardellini is on Mad Men, and had a big role in ER. Isn't she also in Community? Not her.
ReplyDeleteI too thought of Bosworth but she's not known for her acting talent. Nor have any indies hired her.
The reason her face is fuller than her stick thin frame is due to the bulimia. Bulimia cactuses the glands to swell and water retention. I've worked with a lot of girls with ED, you can see the bulimics from a mile away.
ReplyDeleteBut no guess from me. I'm horrible with blinds.
*causes.
ReplyDeleteWhat about Keri Russell. I think her latest magazine cover was Photoshopped (in reverse). She is scary thin on TV.
ReplyDeleteJane Adams always looks sick.
ReplyDeletekari russell is one of two stars of the americans. the clue specifically says that she's not considered for leads because of her eating disorder.
ReplyDeletealso, as mentioned above, does anyone consider kate bosworth a really good actress?
Kristen Johnson
ReplyDeleteKate Bosworth looked good in her sex scene in that indie Krysten Ritter movie that came out last year. I don't think it's her.
ReplyDeletePhoebie from Friends.
ReplyDeletePhoebie from Friends.
ReplyDeleteTerri Hatcher has admitted in the past that she was molested.
ReplyDeleteKate Bosworth? It says talented actress, she is not -.-
ReplyDeleteAlso, no franchises, no tv shows.
She has only been with her man for 1.5 years/2 years, not really long..
@All about Eve; she is VERY skinny though:

The only thing that fits is the skinny part, the rest of the description is very off. I thought Callista Flockheart, but she hasn't been in a franchise and has been looking healthier lately.
I think this is Christina Ricci. The sad thing is when she was going through adolecense in the public eye she was always called fat. I remember her being written about a LOT. The poor girl weighed less than 95% of the country but because it was Hollywood she was considered big. It would be no surprise for her to develope a disorder. She super thin now.
ReplyDeleteWhat about Selma Blair? Looks painfully thin lately, works on Charlie Sheen's show.
ReplyDeleteHas been in tons of cancelled tv-shows and Hellboy is her franchise. First movie did well, but don't think the last one did that great.
She always plays the best friend, can't think of one movie with her in the lead. She was great in Cruel Intentions though.

(Click thumbnail for bigger pic)
Oh, and on Anger Management she looks very sickly thin. She is supposed to be a sex kitten on that show, but she simply looks gross (sorry). If she turns around she disappears off the screen sometimes.
ReplyDeleteI think Shit you can't buy got it with Selma Blair, she has always been scary thin but now she is just too skinny.
ReplyDeleteShe is always in a secondary role never the main character
What about Leslie Bibb? I think she could fit...
ReplyDelete- she was on Popular back in the day, which Ryan Murphy created and was just the star of that GCB show that Darren Starr was behind. Both of which were cancelled after a season or two
- she was in Iron Man or one of those comic book type movies
- She's talented and has done a lot, but def not someone you'd think of every day.
I really like this guess--seems to fit the clues better than the others. Boyfriend is Sam Rockwell, apparently since 2007.
DeleteI think you got it.
Selma B is a great guess.
ReplyDeleteI thought Megan Fox. With the Transformers thing, she was on that one tv show, and she did that indie movie that failed but weren't a few A listers in it?
ReplyDelete@fritters OOOH I love that guess.
ReplyDeleteWhat about Alison Lohman? Selma is skinny, but she can't act for shit.
ReplyDeleteLaura Flynn Boyle
ReplyDeleteMichelle Williams
ReplyDeleteThank you so much @it's just U. He is doing better. Recovering. Super stressed though. But alive thankfully!
ReplyDeleteSelma Blair...Hellboy as the franchise.
ReplyDeleteHeather Graham?
ReplyDeleteI go with Keira Knightly......check out the photo

Kirsten Dunstan and that makes me sad :(
ReplyDelete*Dunst
ReplyDeleteA thwarted franchise would be "I Am Number Four." Teresa Palmer and Diana Agron look healthy, though, from what I can tell.
ReplyDeleteMost of the guesses here are B+ list.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, this is so sad. I'm guesing Devon Aoki.
Christina Ricci. Show created by A list People: Girlfriend in a coma, a new comedy on NBC. She was fired on the first table read. Now understand why. Show that don't last long: Pan Am. Poor girl, wasting her life and big talent.
ReplyDeleteLara Flynn Boyle is married, so I don't think Enty would say she has a "boyfriend". I actually like the Kirsten Dunst guess as she's most definitely an awesome indie girl, but again, the "boyfriend for a long time" throws me off. Cancels a lot of people out like Christina Ricci.
ReplyDeleteConfused!
I agree with the Rachelle Lefevre guesses. As soon as I saw the "hiccup with a huge franchise" I thought of her. The other clues like the long-time boyfriend, short-lived show, etc., also fit.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of being so thin, it's distracting. I really like that show the Americans but Keri Russell is so skinny I can't pay attention to what shes saying lol!! I will say she looks a little better than she did in the beginning of the series. Producers must have talked to her.
ReplyDelete@keetz4 I actually remember that photo from a few years back and that is the really photoshopped version of it.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.fansshare.com/galleries/keira-knightley-beach-gallery/
Very skinny women only annoy me if it seems like they only do it to incur the "jealousy" of other women. I'm talking about you Julianna Ransick and Nicole Bitchy (two of the least sexiest women in Hollywood IMHO).
ReplyDeleteOops. I forgot about Julianna's brush with cancer please forgive me. Even though she has been very skinny for a long time she should be left alone. I would like to throw into the mix though Rachael Zoe and Leanne Rhymes (before she wised up).
DeleteThere are photos of Jordana Brewster in the latest issue of Marie Claire. She's mostly covered in clothes, but if you take a closer look, her body seems so much smaller than her head. And Enty posted her photo in one of the above posts. I think because her head and arms look ok, no one notices. But especially in the pink outit in the photo shoot, She looks emaciated.
ReplyDeleteChristina Ricci was in that Pan Am series on ABC a couple seasons ago, and I remember how tiny her waist looked..
Parker Posey.
ReplyDeleteParker Posey.
