Dear Ms. Anwar,
Let me just start by saying I watch Burn Notice every week, and I love the show. You are a fantastic actress, and you bring so much charm and charisma and all-around fun to the character of Fiona Glenanne. However, after last Thursday’s episode, I became very concerned. You see, if you look at the picture above, it appears that the middle of your body is about the width of that folder you’re holding.
Speaking as someone who has been called both fat and too skinny (go figure), I’m not one to criticize a person for their size. To be honest, you don’t look sickly or anorexic, but quite the opposite. You look radiant, the very picture of health. My worry is that if you keep wearing these itsy-bitsy dresses, you’re going to end up tabloid fodder, a là Calista Flockhart, Lara Flynn Boyle, Keira Knightley, and the Olsen twins, a most undeserved dishonor.
So please, for your fans, eat a cheeseburger, preferably in a public place. And have some french fries and maybe even a soda while you’re at it. That way if you do come under the Sauron-like eye of the paparazzi, you’ll be a source of envy for sure, but you’ll avoid the endless speculation and public outcry, and — most importantly — you won’t become a punchline on late night TV.
Your concerned, yet loyal fan,
Cate

She is a bit too skinny. Face that right up front. For a woman her age, especially. I don’t think it is healthy. She looks healthy thanks to a tan and good genes, but who knows?
Her side view looks just like Lindsay Lohan lately. She’s absolutely frightening.
Yeah, Keith and I have been saying that too — she didn’t look like this in season one, did she? I mean, it actually makes her face and neck look old, b/c she’s too skinny and tendons that aren’t ever supposed to be seen pop out and beckon….

Ha! Well I didn’t want to be mean, but I know what you’re talking about. The thing that makes her look healthier than some of the others is that nice muscle tone she’s got going on, check out those guns! Her legs aren’t very skinny either. I’m no doctor, but I’m pretty sure you can’t maintain muscle without sufficient calorie intake.
Very funny post :)
We don’t have girls like that in Wisconsin.
I’d settle for her saying she’d eat half a tic tac… egads.
Interesting that you decided to post this now. I always thought she looked thin, but this past episode, I also noticed that she looked particularly thin. Just even 5 pounds would make her look so much better!
I’ve been saying this since the first episode. I think a lot of others were shocked by her bikini shot this season. Cue Sesame Street “Count” Music…… “One rib, two ribs, three ribs”.
If you look at her much earlier work she’s always been thin, but nothing like the emaciated thing she is now.
In bikini shots in recent episodes, her ribcage has stood out further than her breasts … and that’s not because they’re small. She is a lovely, vivacious woman who inspires what I call the “Fiona Apple” effect — I don’t know whether to give her a sandwich…or give her a sandwich; slip her some meat or…slip her some meat; feed her some pork…or, well, you get the idea.
You’re beautiful, Gabrielle. You’d just be more of a saucy sex kitten with a cheeseburger in your hand.
Y R U ALL FAT HUH??????????????
