She was the Ally McBeal star who became more famous for being skinny than her acting successes.
But five years after leaving the comedy show, a healthier-looking Calista Flockhart has revealed why her weight plummeted.
Talking to Grazia magazine, the 41-year-old actress said long filming hours, no time for muscle-toning at the gym and a self-imposed junk-food ban made her drop the dress sizes.
"When I was doing Ally, I remember at one point it was like a runaway train and I thought, 'What's going on?'" she tells the magazine.
She adds that the press accusations that her bony frame encouraged her co-stars to start slimming were particularly hard to bear.
"At first I think I was just shocked. I took it personally so it hurt me a great deal. I was afraid it would damage my career," she confessed.
Now happier and looking healthier, Calista is settled in a relationship with Harrison Ford, 22 years her senior, who she met after spilling red wine on him at the Emmy awards in 2002.
She has come back from her extended acting break to film horror flick Fragile and is embracing motherhood with four-year-old adopted son Liam.
"Suddenly I'm watching Bob The Builder and there's a whole world of 'kid-dom' that I didn't know about before," she explains.
Calista and Harrison have also agreed to become carers for Harrison's ex-wife Mary Marquardt who is debilitated by Multiple Sclerosis.
"Since I've become a mother I find myself being even more empathetic," Calista adds.

I admire that she and he are going to look after his ex-wife, I was thinking about that the other day actually when watching Stepmom.
As for her weight, I thought she was naturally thin but oh well.
