What happened to Joan Cusack?



Recommended Posts

I happened to catch part of Martian Child today.

Joan Cusack was in the flick. What the heck happened to her? She used to be really pretty, and now she's haggard and looks ill.

It's sorta on topic, does anyone know if she had WLS? Google shows nothing.

I think maybe sometimes thin is =too= thin.

I know! I saw something in a tabloid here with a catty remark beneath the photo.

I think probably what happened to her is that although she is an attractive woman, she's "normal" looking, not Hollywood stunning. So she's fallen for the old lose tons of weight, have too much cosmetic surgery, if nature didnt give it to you buy it routine. The pressure probably just got to her. It tends to as you get older (like over 25!)

Trouble is, that trick never works, you just end up looking like a freak.

Its such a shame. There's nothing wrong with being normal looking, normal sized, in fact it makes you more attractive to most people than Hollywood plastic fantastic.

ps: you can barely tell Pamela Anderson and Michael Jackson apart these days.

As far as I know she's never had a weight issue. At least a "being overweight" issue. (Not like I'm on the up and up though!) I've always thought she was very thin. Now she almost looks anorexic, or like you said, Manatee, ill. I thought the same thing last time I saw her. Wondered if she'd been really ill.

Hope she's okay.

I caught part of that movie the other day and thought she was as unattractive as always, but didn't really think she looked any different. If I had noticed, I would probably attribute it to the role. Most of the time actors have to change something about their physique/appearance for the character they're being paid to play. Thinness and a degree of angularity would def. have fit the char so maybe it was intentional... dunno. On her weight, late 80s/early 90s I saw an interview with her, why I remember this I don't know -- she had played a role that was a size 12 and claimed it was really her size.

She was heavier at some point in her career than she is now.

I tend to think she looks fantastic pretty much all the time. But her mouth definitely has a strange shape.

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.

      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
