I thought Calista was more like 5'5 or 5'6. She would not look so emaciated if she were petite in height. A woman 5'2 and 97 lbs would be very thin, but not like the way she is.

She is obviously very underweight... it can't be healthy and I think most people would say it doesn't look right. I would be shocked if her BMI put her in the normal/healthy range.
