 Here are a few pictures of Karen from 1980 and 1981.
Sorry they're a bit blurry - but still interesting to see. Karen makes a cameo appearance on an Olivia Newton-John TV special to sing "Heartache Tonight" (the Eagles song)(1980) Picture of Karen as she speaks on the merv Griffin Show (1980) A lovely picture from 1981 |

Interesting indeed I can still see the lovely woman in that skinny body ravaged by the results of Karens ED (hope this doesn't offend). Not my preferred memory of Karen though it was my last memory of her. I find as time goes by I am more comfortable (but still uncomfortable) with these later photos as she is still Karen to me but still prefer to remember Karen as that healthy energetic woman full of life that she once was. Nice photos all things considered.   |

That's what happens with those Instamatic cameras...but I'd have to say that the bottom photo is my favorite of the three.

Yes, Karen's beauty still shines through. Also not my preferred memory of Karen - though it is the reality of who Karen was and became.
The two top pictures are from live action video shots.
The bottom picture (1981) is from an actual photo shoot. This picture was touched up and air brushed quite a bit to give Karen a healthier look. |

 Yes, still sweet Karen no matter what the pic., She became so skeletal...what an awful thing to happen to anyone. Thanks for posting these Rick. Perhaps a bit off topic..but I've been wanting (and no not really meaning to strike up conversations about anorexia) but an observation or thought that came to mind the last time I watched The K.C. Story...the part where she comes home to her apt. late at night, and before she can shut the door her husband, comes in the door w/ a sack of groceries and they just pause a moment and then he taes the sack to the kitchen. Clearly, after not being married that long, they surely lost touch w/ each other. My thought at that moment is " I think he glances at her, thinking maybe she might offer to take the sack, but then he might be thinking: "well, what the use, she's clearly not going to eat any of this anyway.." just a thought... she does look great in the last photo especially you posted. Yes, quite a masquerade is part of that whole thing.
