厌食模特去世 年仅28岁

       患厌食症的法国演员兼模特伊莎贝尔•卡罗已去世,年仅28岁。长期指导她表演的老师丹尼尔•杜布雷尔-普雷沃特表示,卡罗完成工作,从东京回到法国后,于11月17日去世。杜布雷尔-普雷沃特说她不清楚死因,但表示卡罗“长时间受疾病困扰”,意指卡罗的厌食症。卡罗从13岁起,就患上这种病,她把患病原因归结于“艰难的童年”。她身高165厘米,可体重只有30多公斤。

       2007年,卡罗登上了一则意大利的宣传广告,为预防厌食症摇旗呐喊。广告打着“拒绝厌食症”的标语,卡罗则以裸体示人,她瘦骨嶙峋的身体令人震惊。这则广告登上了各大报纸以及公告牌,由此卡罗为人们熟知。那时,她在自己的博客里写道:“长期以来,我掩盖着自己。如今,我毫无畏惧地展示自己,虽然我知道我的身体会让人感觉不适。我想康复,因为我热爱生活和宇宙万物。我想让人们看到这种疾病有多危险。”广告的赞助商表示,卡罗的裸体是为了展示给人们这种疾病的真实状况,并认为,大多数情况下这种病的诱因是时尚界一味展示给大众的清瘦模特形象。

       卡罗曾做客杰西卡•辛普森主持的电视节目《美丽的代价》,谈自己的健康问题。2008年,她还推出了一本自传,名为《不想变胖的小女孩儿》。
