The Skinny on Cate Blanchett

When Cate Blanchett showed up to last night's Costume Institute Gala in NYC looking super thin and sporting some bruises on her chest, it caused many to believe that the A-list actress had caught the Hollywood plague of anorexia. Luckily, that isn't the case.

According to reports, the actress has lost a considerable amount of weight for a role in the film "Cancer Vixen."

How unrealistic! Women typically gain weight when they go through breast cancer treatments. From the American Cancer Society: "Many women who've had chemotherapy for breast cancer report gaining weight during the treatment, though the reasons for an expanding waistline are not yet well understood. The phenomenon is not seen in patients who have surgery alone, or surgery followed by radiation."

STFU sammy. As a matter of fact you do gain weight from chemotherapy for breast cancer. Cate is most likey on a cocaine binge, like the rest of hollyweird.

you should STFU you fuckin loser. Not everyone reacts to chemo in the same way. My bf's mother lost so much weight she was hardly even recognizable. So go suck it!

Brilliant, it took twelve minutes to turn into a slanging match between two anonymous American teenage kids who were probably masturbating furiously to pictures of Cate Blanchett when they stumbled across this page. I expect their erections subsided instantly.

The movie is based on the story of a woman with breast cancer. Chemotherapy makes most women with breast cancer gain weight, mostly because of hormonal problems. And yes, I have been going through this myself, and I am still going through this. Weight loss tends to happen in final stages. If Cate Blanchett plays this movie by being skinny throughout, she will not portray breast cancer patients realistically.

However, realize that sometimes movies are shot OUT OF ORDER. i dont know specifically that what you say is true, however, the producers may wish to shoot the film in reverse, having the shooting begin with her at a low weight, and reconveying after weight gain.
