Is it my imagination or is she looking even skinnier than usual?! It looks like her jeans are sliding down her hips in that first pic…

oh, marcia. what happened?!
omg!!! YIKES.. she looks like hell!!!
She does look even skinnier. And I get that she probably doesn’t feel the need to get dolled up when she isn’t in front of the cameras, but couldn’t she for once wear something nice?
Well, Claire, you can uncross your fingers now– here’s your “exciting A List beauty!” (:o}
Whoa….too thin.
I’m going through Stripes withdrawal…
She looks good. Maybe a bit to thin but she obviously works at it.
We have an obesity epidimic going on people. Better a little to thin than fat.
She looks gross. At her age there should be a little extra fat to soften things out. She looks harsh and old.
wow she definitely looks too thin here, but it might be because of her outfit as well. I’ve never thought she suited stick thin, I think she’d look better with some curves
Yup. Her old “starving for Hollywood” routine is back.
Way to go Marcia.
she does look thin. wasn’t she the one who said “it’s like they pay me not to eat” or something like that?
She might be a bit too thin, but I am jealous
@ Mrs. Doubtfire – I say, better to be in a healthy weight range than either too thin OR too fat. Too thin is just as unhealthy as too fat. Unfortunately, overweight is also less pleasing aesthetically – maybe that’s why people judge being overweight to be more damaging than being underweight?
It astonishes me that Marcia can be almost painfully thin looking but her skin and hair are so healthy! Shame that her head looks a bit skull-like. It would be so interesting to see her with an added 10 lbs, I’m sure she would be stunning.
yuck
Love her.
The show should be named “Desperately for a Square Meal” or something. I might boycott next season.
That’s “Desperate.” oops.
i lover her and i love bree,but she is so skinny now ):
she may have lost a little weight and her clothes are horrible.
Her husband has cancer, I’m sure it’s quite stressful to deal with that and two small children. I’m not surprised she’s lost weight.
yay, a celebrity wearing a bra!
She’s ugly and she starves herself. She said she is paid to be thin and often goes hungry.
@ Mrs Doubtfire- Are you serious? So b/c we have an obesity epidemic we should all starve ourselves and get eating disorders?
Sorry but comments like that make me a little nutty.
She’s too thin. And I can promise you that being scary skinny is not fun. Those of you who are jealous don’t know what you’re talking about.
i love her
I cant wait for season 6 of DH
i think as soon as this show is cancelled, all the women (cast) will be breathing huge sighs of relief and going home to a huge celebratory meal.
moon : you are absolutely right
@ mrs doubtfire. In noticing you said merely “fat” and not “too fat”: being simply overweight is (in most cases) not as dangerous as the health issues casued by being underweight. Poor concentration, bad skin, anemia, heart difficulties, hair falling out, and too many more to name…
I say blame it all on teri hatcher for creating this unhealthy habit…and I hav inside word.. But she desperatly needs to eat something NOT cute
Do Teri Hatcher and her have a competition going on or something? Sheesh.
She looks frighteningly underweight. Not healthy.
Too thin indeed. Hope she is ok
Wow ~ she is way too thin. But, I don’ know if she wasn’t always this thin? Those jeans do look like they are ready to fall off in the first pix. She is seriously pasty too, but, that’s prob why her skin looks so good.
Scary!
She has taken this too far. I’m not sure what will look worse on the show, her botoxed-to-hell face or her non-existent body. Blah
Yowza! I was a little shocked when I saw this picture! I think the too-thin thing makes her look too old. And you really have to watch that especially after you have kids because that ages you, too. And I agree with wannabe, being too thin is not the way to remedy an obesity epidemic. People need to learn how to maintain a healthy weight without constantly either over or underdoing it.
@ whocares – I like your idea. The women on Desperate Housewives are getting ridiculously small… maybe if enough of us made a fuss, they’d start being healthier? I wonder how one goes about initiating such a thing.
Um I’m pretty sure her husband is battling cancer so we might not wanna be too hasty with our judgements
she does look too thin but bexx has a very valid point.
I couldn’t agree more with wannabee, being dangerously thin is just as bad for your health as being overweight. And I think it’s stupid to compare those two states of extreme in the first place.
She, along with Kevin Bacon, are Terminators.
She needs to gain weight and recover. Nothing could convince me that this woman isn’t anorexic.
skinny but too skinny for her age…older women look better with more weight on
Why do they have to be so thin on that show? I can understand younger girls being so competitive and insecure, but they are grown women who surely realise that they don’t need to be the size of a twelve year old boy. A normal size 8 or 10 (British) should be fine surely?
i totally agree with katie-having a husband with cancer and taking care of two little ones must be extremely taxing on her health. maybe people shouldn’t judge so quickly since everyone has different ways of dealing with stress.
@person. lol. It’s official, fingers crossed isn’t 100% reliable.
I’ll settle for the beautiful Emma Watson.
Some women just not sexy and even doesn’t matter if they are skinny or fat. She is one of them. And she always dressed so boring like she doesn’t care much.
I think she is thin, but not scarily so. And I like the fact at least she is honest about her diet saying its always a debate in her head whether to eat or not. Its better than some skinny star saying she eats whatever she wants and never diets. Yeah right.
And the questfor eternal youth continues…..because the fountain of youth exists in a pair of size zero jeans….not!
If the love of my life was diagnosed with cancer..
And I had two toddlers and a “career” to care for beside that…
And the worries that my love might die from me and our two little girls… That I might be “on my own” raising them?
I guess eating wouldn’t be a priority for me neither. Poor woman.
And people: please stop looking purely at her surface and consider her situation instead!!!!!!
She looks way too thin. I don’t eaven think she’s looking good. It’s a pity. That tall she could gain a little and look so much better! Her neck tells you it’s unnatural for her to be this thin.
“too skinny, but she’s old, not very attractive, and not much of an actress, so who cares? ” … nice. 47 years old and too old. She’s been acting since the early 1980s … so not much of an actress… mhm. “shake head”
@Matilda, what goes around comes around, she looks fine, on a lighter note, i will never like her clothes.
i think she looks good.
Boring. She always looks the same.
She’s disgustingly skinny. Her legs surely look ugly.
She looks awful. Simply awful. This body weight is aging her terribly. She literally looks like a crone. When will the over-40 Hollywood set realize that maintaining that thin of a physique makes them look years and years older than they are. A 20-something VS model looks great at this weight. A mid-40s actress looks like she’s an end-stage cancer victim. While it is true that chubbiness in your 40s is very aging as well (makes you look matronly), being too thin just makes you look sick. Sandra Bullock’s size is the way to do it when you’re in your 40s.
She looks too thin here…but it may partially be the clothing. Either way, not her best look.
I don’t see what everyone else is. She doesn’t look too thin to me, just plain thin. Maybe it’s the outfit but I just don’t see it.
They can call it ED40…the eating disorder all Hollywood actresses come down with when they hit 40-years-old. They try to stop aging but become skeletal.
She is way too old to be this skinny. I guess they don’t understand how being too skinny ages them…
She has admitted to not eating much to stay thin..i think she said something like-”They basically pay me not to eat” at least she admits it
@londoncalling not sure how to take the what goes around comes around? She looks fine to me too, not a fan of her dress sense either. I also don’t find her too old with 47 but maybe it’s because I’m not in the 11-21 age group here!
LOL
To: kj…agree w/you…Marcia has made the remark MANY TIMES that “they pay her NOT to EAT” so she can be skinny for her part on DH. She has also said how
HUNGRY she is at times.
@ Katie…I totally agree with you. Marcia could be losing (even more)lbs due to severe stress…because her husband, Tom Mahoney has throat cancer. When a person works out…even when they don’t feel like it(like too stressed, etc.)..it helps release good endorphins so maybe she still exercises to relieve some of her stress. Plus she has 2 twin girls who are about nerarly 2, I think. Marcia is dealing with a LOT these days. Think we should give her the benefit of the doubt.
Matilda I agree. Yes, she is thin but doesn’t deserve all the derisive comments hurled at her. She can’t help it that she is over 40.
Does she own only longed sleeved, navy blue tees.
@Matilda, it wasn’t referred to you, but i do agree with you, 47 is not old.
She looks great. If she dropped her kids off at my day camp, I would prolly stare..
Not wanting to eat is the way I deal with stress too but that doesn’t mean it’s ok for me to starve myself. She has to take care of herself in order to take good care of her husband and children. And who knows, maybe she’s getting help.
On another note, I wonder if there isn’t an Ally McBeal situation going on as well. Several people talked about the pressure of staying too thin
she definitely needs to gain a few pounds!
I’ll give her someting to eat!
Way too old to be skinny???? I’d rather be thin in my 40’s than some pudgy, matronly looking thing.
Way too old to be skinny??!! Nonsense. I’d rather be thin in my 40’s than some pudgy, matronly looking thing.
she’s too skinny.
My friend the Chef did a party for Marcia and her husband not long ago and confirmed that she barely ate a bite of her food yet had to have all the best dishes for her guests…
Didn’t touch the desert either.
Point made: She doesn’t eat…enough.
Ew, here fake breasts are really evident here.
fake boobs?? gee she should ask for a refund then…
Ewwwwwwwwww!
She has always been disgusting!
Could she just go dye that frigging hair!
Her head is very skull like which isnt good!
Argh! Yikes
when are these women going to learn that this is just NOT attractive. great you’re thinner than your mate. big deal. you look like sh*t. unless you’re under 25 you need fat else you look shrivelled and old. it’s not womanly or sexual. i simply dont get it. don’t get me wrong, fat isn’t good either, i’m not a fan of curvy curvy either but this is plain ridiculous!!
of course she’s too skinny- girls feed off of each other, it’s a giant competition. anytime i’ve lost weight, women are always commenting and saying it’s too much. really? 122 at 5′6? women are catty. and if one loses weight, others are soon to follow. i’m sure the women on that show are so competitive with each other. and if she is going through some stress at home, i’ve read not eating is a control thing- i wouldn’t be surprised if that’s the case here.
i’m not too sure of her situation, nor do i know about how stringent she is in terms of diet/exercise, etc. but i do want to mention that not everyone rapidly loses weight intentionally. in the past few months i got really sick, went through a bad break-up and consequently lost too much weight. maybe she’s just stressed…just because she’s a celeb doesn’t make her exempt from it.
IA with those pointing out how weight loss to her husband’s cancer. She’s always been thin, but not until recently has her weight really dropped. And honestly, how does she look old? She 47 for goodness’ sakes! Have you guys gotten a good look at what the average 47 year old looks like?
Actually, if someone starves to be a “little too thin” it’s actually much more unhealthy than an overweight person who exercises even a little bit. You guys have such warped minds, that is completely unhealthy.
TOO THIN!!!!!!
aw, Marcia. She’d look soo much better with some weight on her. She looks older than she has to
Can’t help but think her body looks good in these shots. I know this is underweight. But, I can’t help what I find attractive. I hope she isn’t going through hell to attain that figure, though. If her family are suffering, then it’s really not worth it!
She is way to skinny. Her husband has cancer, maybe she is under stress. Her face is too skinny.
She suits being skinny. She looks absolutely stunning, and if she was any bigger it definitely wouldn’t suit her.
Her body looks fine, I think her face has aged, it’s because of stress and I’m sorry for her.
