Celebrities - Height and Weight, Please!
 
So, with all these reports about Mary Kate Olsen and her eating disorder (and bless her little heart to have it splashed about the news, how sad - it's something so many women struggle with)... I was wondering if anyone can give me some cold, hard statistics on the height and weight of successful actresses and models out there.

I used to know a few years back, but I've lost track. And I need to know what I'm striving for.

Bring it on!

I don't know how much Mary Kate weighs, but she's around 5'1 or 5'2 (according to the IMDB, one sister is 5'1 and the other is 5'2, but I don't remember which one is what). I'm assuming that she her weight is way below 100 if she has an eating disorder.

i do not think that mary kate's weight is that much below 100 lbs. she is not THAT thin. her appearance is getting scary though. i wish all the best for her.

Yeah, 3-5 lb under 100 is "a lot" when you're petite. I think Mary-Kate is probably 93 or so.

Let me think what I can remember from my days when I used to obsessively track this. Obviously some of it is pretty rough estimates.

Jennifer Anniston - 5'5" 105
Jennifer Lopez 5'6" 120 (I think this is on the low side)
Britney 5'5" and she's been everywhere from 105-150 (on the higher end of that now)
Lara Flynn Boyle 5'6" or 5'7" 95
Jessica Simpson 5'3" 105-110
Drew Barrymore 5'4" 120-125
Kirsten Dunst 5'2" 100
Beyonce 5'6" or 5'7" 135-140
Renee Zellweger 5'5" 105 (before Bridget Jones Diary -- she's been higher and lower since)
Liv Tyler 5'10" 150
Kate Winslet 5'8" 155?
Nicole Kidman 5'10" 105 (RIDICULOUS)

Oh, and Mary-Kate is definitely under 90. I would put her at 85ish.

Liv Tyler's 150??? Are you confusing her with her sister? Liv looks about 130s or so.

sugar and spice 06-23-2004 10:49 PM

Liv Tyler has a very similar body type to her sister's and she diets and exercises quite a bit to get as thin as she has for some of her movies. Her natural weight falls around 150 (she's tall enough that she still looks great) and I think she is trying not to wreak too much havoc on her health by getting too thin these days.

If you check any recent pictures of her, you'll see that she definitely has some meat on her bones.

smiley21 06-23-2004 10:52 PM

ok i see your point. someone that age and weight is so bizarre and mind blowing. but i know that it does happen. i remember when people thought i was sick cause i went from 120lbs to 101lbs during a school year. my classmates would make fun of me and my teachers thought that i had a problem. i was not concerned about my weight, i was just lonely.

Taualumna 06-23-2004 10:56 PM

Oooo...according to IMDB, Kirsten Dunst is 5'7, not 5'2...not sure how accurate IMDB is though.

Peaches-n-Cream 06-23-2004 11:05 PM

Where do you guys get this information? I don't even know my own weight.

IMDB isn't usually very accurate, but in this case, I think it's more right than I am. ;) Dunst is definitely not 5'7" but looking at recent pictures of her she's not 5'2" anymore either. 5'5" maybe? And definitely not 100 pounds anymore either.

Some of the stats that I listed are a couple years old, so if they're for somebody who's still young/growing they could be off.

Also, take a lot of stats you see on websites with a grain of salt . . . It's not out of the ordinary to deflate an actress's weight if she's routinely described as "curvy" (which is, I think what happened with J.Lo, who is in no way under 130), or inflate it if she's always getting slammed for being anorexic (Lara Flynn Boyle, who could easily have a low weight of 85 -- that woman has some definite issues in regards to her weight).

At that height and weight, Nicole Kidman should practically be dead. I know she's got fine bone structure, but sheesh!

150 on an 5'10" medium frame appears thinner than it sounds. We tall chicks carry it well.

Exactly, but some people just hear a number and are like "oh my god, you're huge!"
Hollywood for ages has been saying that Kate Winslet is fat. She's only fat by Hollywood standards where they glorify Lara Flynn Boyle for being 95 pounds. She's extremely underweight.

Also, I heard on the radio that Liv Tyler is pregnant.

Kate Hudson was recently listed at a pre-baby weight size of 112. I think she's about 5'6''. The funny thing is that Vogue referred to that as a size 4 but I'm pretty sure she'd be more like a 2.
