He went on crash diet that killed him. He used drugs to lose the weight that's really what killed him. >> Stay informed about: can a famous fat actor lose weight and still be popular?

If you compare the Laird Cregar of "Hangover Square" - soon to be on DVD - with some of his earlier appearances, it's clear that Cregar lost quite a bit of weight before that film; and, I believe the movie was fairly popular in its day. (I'm well aware that I haven't hit the nail on the head regarding LMC's original post, but I'm willing to risk it to get more people watching "H.S.") >> Stay informed about: can a famous fat actor lose weight and still be popular?
