Did anyone else notice the All In The Family curse. Almost everyone became overweight. Compare Liz Torres, Sally Struthers, and Rob Reiner today from the 70's and see the difference.

Well, it happens to us all sometime. Men go bald, both sexes gain weight. Just a part of life. Guess everybody on Earth is cursed too.

i don't mind what people weigh because i'm no Jack LaLane or Richard Simmons myself...it's just something that happens to celebrities not in the public eye that much. they don't have to torture themselves by starving simply for sex appeal. imagine the crap that went on because of weight on the set of "Charlie's Angels"! i'm not a celebrity so i don't have to worry about what i look like as long as i can remain a consistent weight of maybe 210. before you get sick to your stomach, i'm not a stereotypical big person-you couldn't tell i weighed that much if you saw me at a distance! LOL

Exactly. Think about the Facts of Life girls too. It sounds like the public was a bit harsh with Blair just because she gained a few pounds. I'm sure everybody already saw the interview on Entertainment Tonight where Lisa explains one fan calling out "Blair, you're getting fat!" something like that.

Rob Reiner isnt even recognizable anymore to his AITF role.
