Kerry Washington is a rare bird among actresses of color in Hollywood. She has openly admitted to battling an eating disorder.

A former college classmate describe her as ‘very weight and food concious’. In this photo, her attention to diet shows as she cuts a dashing, trim figure at a NYC event.

Alllegra Beck, heiress to the Versace fortune, is looking slightly less skeletal. She is by no means at a normal weight, but her face looks more full, instead of the caved in look it once had. Also, her legs have more meat on them. Anorexia is a debilitating disease. Let us all hope that she can overcome it or manage her condition more successfully.
