Did anybody noticed how unhealthy Sarah looked in some parts of season 5? Was she stressed, not eating?

or because she became an adult(1st season after high school).

What about season 4? 😉


Honestly I've never thought about her looking very unhealthy in season 5, I thought she looked far worse in seasons 6 and 7 truth be told, at a point where I believe that she was very stressed and ill a lot due to her hectic and physically demanding shooting schedule of Btvs.

In my eyes she there was just one reason! She was too thin! It seemed as if she lost lots of weight between season 1 and season 5! (Not that I do not note how much stress it is to be an actress...I think you lose some pounds when you're in stress!)
 
She was rather ok in season 5. Season 4 was definitely the worst. She was so skinny, everytime I watch it, I'm like: Go eat something girl ! Bodily speaking, she looked her best in season 1.

mmm season 1 buffy...someone get me a towel. :-D
I think she looks amazing in season 5. In season 6 and 7 however I felt she looked way too thin. But in season 5 she looked like perfect lol
 
I always thought she looked great. Yeah, she was skinny, but that's just her build, she's got a petite frame.

When she started in S1 she was a lot younger, lots of people lose weight as they get out of the teenage years.

I may be wrong but I think Sarah was about 21 or 22 in season 1. Not exactly a teenager. 😛


I thought Sarah looked okay in season 5. She looked way worse in season 6 and 7. In season7 she always had bags under her eyes and she was way too thin. But I loved her hair. 🙂

She was 19 in series 1.
 
Now that people are talking about it. She does not look that well at the end of the series then when she was in the first season. It is very hard for a woman in her twenties to look more like a teenager with each passing year. The reason she may look so bad, as we think of her as a fighter all the time. Plus, with more shows with Faith in them, it is easy to say that Faith looked much more of a sex object then Buffy. Could be that Faith is taller, as we understand that sexy models to be 5’10” or taller. Plus, it does get a little boring to have a character always killing vampires all the time. Plus, never really have a settlement with Faith until the very end of the series.
 
Hmm, I never thought she looked "bad" or unhealthy. Do you have some photographic proof you'd like to submit to back up your claim? 😉

Yes she does get thinner as time goes on, and whether that's simply maturing/aging or the physical demands of the job I don't know.

All these topics on how awful the actors looked at various times are making me sad. 🙁

Agreed! FTMP these are all attractive people and it's too bad that we examine every single flaw as if under a microscope.
 
SMG never looked unhealthy, she was always hot. Unless your comparing her to how 'healthy' someone like Adele looks.

That's so rude. Adele is beautiful.

Was season 5 the time she was filming Scooby-Doo 1? Scooby-Doo 1 was the first time I ever saw SMG, and she looked beautiful in that.

No she did the Scooby Movies after Buffy ended
She was perfectly healthy in season 5. In fact her looking like a model the whole time is one of the reasons I am not fond of that season. I liked Buffy looking more down to Earth like she did in 2,3,6 and 7.

It's some episodes of season 7 where she was ill due to flying out to do Scooby-Doo. You can tell from her voice in those episodes that she had a bad flew.

As for those saying she was "too thin" No, she wasn't. The only way she'd be too thin is if her health started failing her because of the weight loss. Which it didn't. Saying she was "too thin" because you personally dislike it is just as awful as those people telling Amber she should have lost weight to look hotter next to Sarah and Alyson.

Well truth be told few people get that thin and maintain their perfect health, just because we don't know whether or not she was underweight/malnourished/in poor health in certain aspects it doesn't mean that she wasn't.

And promoting the ideal that skinny enough for size zero (which only a handful of people can attain without getting sick and looking at how SMG looks now one can only assume that she does not look like that completely naturally) is not good and that pressure should not be on actresses, including SMG, as it provides an unhealthy image to the viewership world wide as well as to SMG herself, who has admitted to having BDD (body dysmorphic disorder).
