she was 5 foot 5.5, and her weight varied dramatically (when she died she was 118 lbs, so if you look at her last photo shoot, that should give you a baseline for comparison). like everybody's saying, sizing has changed a lot (and is inconsistent f. brand to brand) so i don't think the size thing means anything. also, even at the start of her career she was considered a little chubby, but sexy (according to Emmeline Snively, her first modeling agent)(though honestly, I can't see why. i'm an ex-anorectic, crazy, hypercritical bitch about body fat, and I think she was HOT, always.)
