In Hollywood, the pressure for actresses to get and stay thin is the source of a shocking and alarming trend. Female celebrities have become tinier than ever, and "skinny" has moved from a health-conscious preoccupation to a dangerous obsession.

It began in the late '90s, when a few skeletal celebs like Calista Flockhart and Lara Flynn Boyle made headlines for being too thin. Now, nearly all of Hollywood's leading ladies are all drastically underweight. They know their next role or great red carpet gown often depends on how many pounds they're packing. This weight fixation has set the bar higher than ever, and in turn, created a dark side to Hollywood "fitness."
