66. Nope, but
part of that's because she basically looks sick - some have said that she is sick, so it's not her fault that she looks so severely depleted. Not that other kinds of weight-reducing afflictions - drugs or eating disorders - are necessarily the 'fault' of the afflicted in at least one sense. Based on what she used to look like, I'd guess that she's lost probably an unhealthy amount of weight, maybe including a fair bit of muscle mass.

On the other hand, perhaps that dress and angle conspire to make her look far more fragile than she is. Well, somewhat, anyway.

And, yes, the Hollywood machine is terribly destructive in terms of imposing unhealthy body image and mercilessly punishing those who don't conform to the ideal du jour. For her sake, I hope that she can get on top of whatever's caused her to drop that amount of weight.
