Jane Krakowski isn’t thin.



But Ally McBeal is. I couldn't watch because i didn't want my teenage daughters thinking that was normal


So... overweight is "normal," but underweight is abnormal. Got it.


You might not know that both actresses talked about their eating disorders publicly.


I know Portia did. Calista as well?


Yes. And Courtney Thorne-Smith.

You are absurd if you think some people don't have small frames.

Psst: being thin doesn't equate to having an eating disorder.

I was in law school when the show originally aired. It’s interesting to see the show from a generation+ ago addressing issues like gay, trans, race, sex, religion, etc. Very interesting.


This is so funny b/c I was thinking of doing the same. I was also in law school when it aired. I was wondering how it has aged. I loved it so much at the time.


I tried and most of it is cringey.

I think the first season was filmed before Spanx were around because you see natural rolls in season 1 when Jane and others wear certain clothing.
