Land whale is not slightly overweight. |

God not me. Muscular soccer thighs that never went away. Peloton and squatting make them hard to fit in pants at 54. |

I think people also waaay underestimate how much smoking was used as an appetite suppressant. |

NP. Kidman looks much skinnier than this woman. |

Why does this lady look like she’s 70? And it’s not the styling, I mean her actual face? |

Much skinnier? Why are you exaggerating? We are talking about different built, different age (huge factor), different lifestyle and yet their body mass looks about the same. |

It is the styling. The short "set" hair, heavy makeup, and restrictive clothes. Trust me, if you wore your hair like this and put on some 1950s era foundation, powder, and lip stick, you would also suddenly look geriatric. Sometimes I wonder if one reason women were so obsessed with being thin during this era (and they were obsessed -- insane diets, appetite suppressants, very little actual exercise but they likely worried about developing any muscle ton) was because the way women dressed and made themselves up meant that the only way to tell a younger woman from an older one was her weight. |

Some do, some don't. There are a whole set of people who, rather than gaining weight as they age, struggle to keep it on. There is a verso of aging where people lose appetites, struggle to retain bone density and muscle mass, and become more frail. It's not some tiny subset of people either. I also know some women who don't become frail, but who basically maintain their body type into old age. For instance I know some women who have always been very fit, stayed fit through middle age, and are still fit and thin. I have a friend who has always been a distance runner and never stopped (still competes, just moves up her age group) and just has the 55 yr old version of the same body type she had at 25. Look at someone like Audrey Hepburn -- clearly predisposed to thinness, did ballet and likely watched what she ate, but basically same body type her whole life. I know it is easier for people to believe "everyone" gets fatter with age, if that is what you are experiencing. And it's true many people put on weight and struggle to keep it off at Nicole's age. But not everyone. You have no idea if her thinness is natural, the result of considerable effort (either healthy, like my marathoner friend, or potentially unhealthy if she has an eating disorder), or maybe even a sign of aging. She has always been thin and she's very tall. Your expectation that she'll get fatter has way more to do with you than with her. |

| She has an eating disorder. She needs professional help. |

The 50's were a half-century ago. This woman would have lived through the Great Depression (prior to fortified food) and WW II (rationing). Her life expectancy was 60 years. She thought cigarettes were healthy and relaxing. Contracting any kind of cancer was a death sentence. I'm not saying obesity is healthy, but equating being skinny and little with health is misleading. |

If this is NK a few days ago, she looks fine. Emily from Emily in Paris doesn’t look fine. |
