Anecdotal evidence suggests otherwise. Lynda Thompson, 18-years-old, 5ft 9in and weighing in at just 61/2 stone, was in the first throes of anorexia when she was stopped by a scout for a leading agency and asked if she wanted to be a model.
“She said I had a perfect figure and walked beautifully, so I was just right for the catwalk,” Ms Thompson said. “For the past year my family and friends had been telling me I looked awful and needed medical help ... It was so confusing. I thought ’I can’t be too thin if an agent thinks I’m good enough to be a model’. So I continued to starve myself.” Six months later she was dangerously ill in hospital.
