Thandie Newton, the actress who has appeared in Crash, Mission Impossible II, ER and many other productions, has admitted that she battled bulimia in her younger years. Newton, now 34, says her troubles began when she was 14 and training for Ballet Exams. She would eat nothing but cottage cheese, and claims this wouldn't raise suspicion in her family because her mother was in the healthcare industry and only kept healthy food in the house anyway. As she get older, abusive and personally shameful relationships further perpetuated her disorder, and she became obsessed with her weight. And she still has scars on her knuckles from making herself throw up to prove it.

Pictures of Newton over the past few years have depicted a frighteningly-thin woman, but I think she's appeared healthier over the past few years. What do you think?
