    I heard a story that Gloria Swanson was so devoted to healthy eating, she would brown bag her meals to awards dinners. The bags were discreetly given to the wait staff and she was served the food she brought.

    Audrey Hepburn went on to be a UNICEF ambassador for the World Food Program because she was so affected by her childhood experiences around starvation... a phenomenal woman

    As a young mother, I was extremely active too. I was a housewife with 2 little boys for 10 years, and then went to nursing school. I cleaned house every day, walked, rode bikes with my boys and before they were old enough to help with cutting grass, I'd do it a lot of times because I liked making my husband's life easier. He was a hard worker and had a lot of stress on the job. I laid his clothes out, brought his coffee to him before he got up, fixed his lunch, and his dinner was ready when he got home. I don't know why I'm telling y'all all of this, but it was good life. I'd like to try that perfume!

    Don't forget so many Glamour Queens SMOKED CIGARETTES! This cuts your appetite but wrecks future health. (But they didn't really know how much then.) I remember my Mother buying MELBA TOAST. So funny. It was like eating craters. Lol.

    Sophia Loren never really dieted. She ate pasta almost every day and also drank wine. She also slept nine hours a night.

    There's nothing weird in mixing cottage cheese and sour cream. Add chives and radishes and you'll have a very Polish breakfast.

    They were also REALLLLLYYYY active like doing house work, walking every where.

    I wonder why exactly 118lbs? Also 118lbs at 5 foot and 118lbs at 5'9 are two very different things.

    I think Sofia Lauren is the healthiest and most wonderful of them all. Her cooks books are awesome.

    I personally only have black coffee and cigarettes for breakfast. Gods honest truth. How people can eat food first thing in the morning is beyond my comprehension.

    Gloria was so completely ahead of her time regarding intake. She healed her body with food and sunlight and maintained that diet her entire life. Listening to her discuss health back in the 70s is inspiring!

    All that “healthy” eating, and ironically they were encouraged to smoke like chimneys and drink like fish.

    Cottage cheese and sour cream are delicious together, with a pinch of salt. This is a traditional Romanian meal and it's eaten with warm polenta.

    When Marilyn was struggling to make money, she lived on raw mince (ground beef). She also ate a lot of cottage cheese. We shouldn’t forget that back then, it could well have been a luxury to have cooking facilities in a low rent house/room/apartment.

    Can I just say I LOVE the editing of your videos! Those celebrity photo cutouts which match what you're talking about, alongside the little clips of food or fashion or whatever it is... It's like a vintage scrap book in video form! It must take you ages and it's so beautiful to watch and just get lost in all the old glamour! (The fascinating facts and relaxing voiceover are wonderful too, but I was particularly struck by the visual style).

    Such a fun video! Have you thought about doing a video on 'Madame Sylvia'? She was an exercise guru in the 1930's to the Hollywood stars. I think she even wrote a tell all book about her clients.

    I like Marilyn Monroe 's diet and Grace Kelly with the light snacking in between.

    Sophia Loren's diet is the tastiest and healthiest. Marilyn's was basically starving. Audrey's would get super boring after a while, same for many of the other's diets. I have so much respect for Katherine Hepburn, what a trail blazer she was. Gloria Swanson as well, she seemed like a real cool lady.

    Extreme calorie reduction can really mess with your health, when I was anorexic I ate 1200 cal. a day and I almost died. Going below 1500 a day esp. when you work out isn't necessary, just accept that it takes a while.
