I think she's still a very attractive woman, and talented to boot. I haven't seen lots of her work over the years, but she did a great job in A Beautiful Mind. Of course, The Rocketeer is a favorite, and I was surprised by her voice role in Spider-Man: Homecoming. She made a very good Betty Ross in Ang Lee's Hulk, too - one of that movie's enduring good traits.

Talented and attractive!

Seriously, who do we have to kill to get a Career Opportunities blu-ray...

I was actually thinking just today, probably before 2:14pm , that Jennifer should have a thread. Not surprised that it's you Canada because you and I have thought of the same women a few times

[Gizz]

I still think that she is an attractive woman.

What happened to her? Is she ill?

No she has just gotten older. Like we all do.

Not everyone weighs 85 pounds soaking wet as they grow older.

Connelly obviously has a severe eating disorder, and it's tragic.

Where did you hear she suffers from that? I know she purposely exercised like crazy to lose weight in 2013, playing a homeless person opposite husband Paul Bettany. Also, no one's body stays the same at 47, versus 21.

These photos are from when she played a homeless junkie in the film Shelter. She decided to lose a lot of weight for the role. When male actors like Christian Bale do that they are admired for it. When an actress does it she hits the tabloids with speculations that she's anorexic.

Yep...the classic (and despicable) double-standard. Its sad, really.

Her massive weight loss after she got a reduction was due to her dealing with her father's death at the time. Paul Bettany talked about this at the time. She was going through things at that time. She never spoke of it.

Wow; I've never heard of this before. Do you have a source article?
