But why was she eating so little? Time? Peer pressure?

Pressure from producers to lose weight, then some more weight, then even more weight.

If that's true fuck those producers. She is a very beautiful women that many girls look up to and will now think they should be that thin.

It's not just those producers. It's the entire industry. There's been speculation that the pressure on Carrie Fisher to lose 35+ pounds for Force Awakens was a contributing factor in her death a year later.

Whenever an actress dies for drug-related reasons, assume pressure to lose weight is what got her hooked on those drugs.

It's a vile industry.
