Famous People With Anorexia
Even Celebrities Can Die From Eating Disorders

Famous people with anorexia are not immune to the wrath of an eating disorder. Models, singers, gymnasts and anorexia have become almost synonymous. Tragically, at least two lives have ended as a result of death from anorexia.

Karen Carpenter, the famous singer and drummer from the 1970's died in 1983 at the age of 32. Gymnast Christy Henrich passed away in 1994 at the age of 22.

Both ladies died due to the complications and medical symptoms of anorexia.

Obviously this disease doesn't just affect those who work in film or television. It knows no boundaries.

Everyone can be a victim, including musicians, athletes, and those who are in the fashion industry - in front and behind the camera.

For famous people with anorexia, the trigger could be a personal or family related issue. It might also be the result of living their lives in the public eye - leaving themselves open to have their every move and every photo scrutinized and degraded by both the media and "fans" alike.

This kind of enormous pressure is more than anyone should have to endure, especially at a young age.
