Kristin Davis was under pressure to stay slim<\/p>\n
The 59-year-old actress got her big break in 1995 when she was cast on the show as Brooke Armstrong and she recalled there was a “difficult” vibe on the set because of the unrealistic standards of beauty that female cast members were expected to uphold.<\/p>\n
She told People magazine: “There was a general vibe on the set though, that was difficult, about the thinness situation.”<\/p>\n
“Every single person was gorgeous and super skinny. So I was like, \u2018This is what I have to do.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
Kristen hired a running coach and would take part in back-to-back 90-minute spin classes, but was barely eating. <\/p>\n
\nShe said: “I was frustrated. I was trying to do the thing.<\/p>\n
\n “Of course, I’m sure I wasn’t eating, I have no idea. I don’t remember the eating part.<\/p>\n
\n“[I] fainted in a parking lot one time. Sometimes I couldn’t remember my name. It was a lot.”<\/p>\n
\nBut despite her efforts, the ‘And Just Like That…’ actress was still ordered not to “gain any weight” by producers after being told they had a problem with her size by co-star Thomas Calabro.<\/p>\n
\nRecalling a conversation with the actor in her make-up trailer, she said: “He’s like, ‘Kristin, I’m so happy to see you here I just wanna tell you, you know, I think you look great,’ and I’m like, ‘Oh, thank you. What are you talking about? What do you mean?’ He said, ‘Oh, I know that the producers are really stressed, you know, but I just think it’s amazing that we have a woman who has curves.’ “<\/p>\n
\nWhen Kristen expressed her confusion, she claimed Thomas replied: “I just think they shouldn’t, you know, put too much pressure on you.’ “<\/p>\n
\nShe added: “And I’m like, ‘What?'”<\/p>\n
\n“I go to the line producer and I’m like, ‘Thomas Calabro just told me that you guys are stressing about my weight. Did someone say something? Did Mr. [Aaron] Spelling say something?’ And he was like, ‘We think you look beautiful,’ and I was like, ‘Yeah, and?’ He goes, ‘Just don’t gain any weight.'”<\/p>\n
\nThe ‘Are You a Charlotte?’ podcaster noted such comments on set were “just normal then”.<\/p>\n
\nShe added: “It was normal for a long time. You could look at it either way. But I mean, there was a lot of stress. If you had hips, it was a situation.”<\/p>\n
