Gabrielle Anwar did get thin, but it was mostly muscle and sinew as she got really fit. I didn’t think it looked unhealthy, she was just lean.

When someone is that lean, every muscle will show no matter what. That said, I’m well aware she trained hard for the role. But it is possible to train and not get _that_ lean. Even her face started looking skeletal.

As always, _de gustibus non disputandum est_.

Agreed!  
And she hasn’t lost it either, she’s still is absolutely stunning! I don’t think you can find a picture of her where she isn’t gorgeous.

Just image search her and it’s amazing.

Maybe. I figured it was just her genetics. Some people tend towards wiry and leathery.

Anyhoo, speaking of fit, I nominate [Caity Lotz](https://www.google.com.au/search?q=Caity+Lotz&num=100&safe=off&stick=H4sIAAAAAAAAAONgFuLWz9U3MDQ2q0o3slTiAnEyzNNTcky1OEPCQvIdk0vyiwCV3XFhJgAAAA&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiemcHz0sPUAhXEoZQKHQlQAF0Q_AUICigB&biw=1662&bih=1066) from _Legends of Tomorrow_ et al.

It’s a tie between Susan Dey on the Partridge Family and Susan Dey on L.A. Law.
