According to the celebrity body measurement website CelebRiot.com, Vera Ellen’s waist circumference was just 21 inches. At 5 feet, 4 inches in height, she only weighed 95 pounds.
In her forties, Vera Ellen developed anorexia and became extremely thin, which accelerated her ageing. There is speculation that her anorexia was caused by the Sudden Young Death Syndrome death of her infant daughter. She withdrew from both her Hollywood and public lives as her anorexia and depression worsened. This makes it easy to comprehend her small waistline and extremely low weight.
