LatestIn 2007, French model Isabelle Caro famously posed for an anti-anorexia billboard plastered in Milan during fashion week. Today, various media outlets are reporting that Caro has died.
According to reports, Caro died in Japan in mid-November after a two-week hospitalization for a lung infection.
In a 2007 interview with CBS’ The Early Show, Caro talked about her struggle to gain weight, and the fact that she would often draw freckles on her face: “If they’re looking at my eyes… they’re not looking at the rest of me,” she said. She also told of the time she’d been in a coma, and how she’d once weighed as little as 55 pounds.
