Rebecca Romijn: "Ugly Betty" star has scoliosis

[harmoniesdj]

Rebecca was on The Tyra Banks Show this past week talking about her role as "Alexis" on the "Ugly Betty" TV show. She said she was diagnosed with scoliosis @ 13yo when she shot up 6'' (now a tall adult in her 20s). Said she had a lot of pain from it and that she didn't know sports would help so she leaned towards the fine arts instead. Now she does pilates for the pain.

She wore a beautiful empire waist, spaghetti strap, knee length dress that flowed around her.....and high, high heels. I'll definitely be watching what she wears on the show for fashion hints. Tried to find out more about her on the net but only came up with standard info....no reference to scoliosis. That was quite something of her to talk so openly about her scoliosis on TV. Count me as her fan for bringing the subject to society's awareness.
