    I always thought she was one of the cutest actress on tv show. She was the type of girl I always wanted back then. Smart, funny and caring and very wholesome. May god bless her with a life filled with happiness.

      Agreed though to be fair, the entire cast was aware something was wrong, Jeremey Miller even mentioned being shocked one day when he saw her with just a a tank top on at how much weight she had lost.

      @@johnpauljones9310 Believe it or not, anorexia and most eating disorders are not caused by poor body image but from a desire to control something. Most victims of the disorder suffered some kind of abuse or trauma (many young performers had eating disorders: Tracy Gold, Mary Kate Olsen, and Karen Carpenter just to name a few).

      I didn’t realize Tracy had an eating disorder. I’m glad that her cast mates were aware of it and pushing for her to get help. Seems like it was common for the young actors of the 80s and 90s to have some sort of eating disorder or phycological disorder. I think Candace Cameron, and actors on Saved by the Bell, had some struggles as well.
