Camryn Manheim's slimmer look in NYC draws fan praise
Actress Camryn Manheim, 65, famed for her role as Ellenor Frutt on *The Practice*, appeared in New York City supporting friend Rosie O'Donnell's one‑woman show wearing blue jeans, a patterned boho top and a white singlet. Observers noted her noticeably slimmer physique and slicked‑back hairstyle, prompting enthusiastic comments on social media such as “You look amazing!” and “You look as young as when I first saw you in the early 2000s.”
Manheim has long been a vocal advocate for body‑positivity, winning an Emmy and a Golden Globe in the 1990s and delivering the memorable 1998 Emmy speech, “This is for all the fat girls!” She has spoken about normalising the word “fat” to combat industry stigma. The article also mentions that Rosie O'Donnell, her close friend, has recently lost weight herself.
