Did alot of the older actress from the 30s 40s 50s ever eat slow and get ful faster?

I think that appearances were less important in those days. Joan Crawford for example was hardly a beauty and many of the actresses were OK rather than stunningly beautiful. Generally they were not thin and even the glamourous ones had figures provided by nature rather than a skilled surgeon. Whilst the acting now appears rather formal, I think most survived on talent and not plastic, exercise or liposuction.
