21 Major Celebrity Weight Loss Successes

Anna-Gunn

9. Anna Gunn

The worrying weight loss of Anna Gunn in November 2013 (a whole 40 pounds) prompted concerns across the media until Anna explained that she’d gained the weight whilst taking the drug Cortisone for an illness. She recently stopped taking the drug and dropped the weight whilst remaining perfectly healthy.

Anna grew up in Santa Fe, New Mexico, discovering acting in a drama class at the Santa Fe Preparatory School. She continued her education and training at Northwestern University, studying abroad for a semester with the British American Drama Academy. In 2004, Anna landed her breakout television role, playing Martha Bullock on HBO’s show, Deadwood and later received a SAG nomination for Best Ensemble Cast in 2006.

However, Anna Gunn is best known for her role as Skyler White in the AMC drama series Breaking Bad, starring Bryan Cranston. In 2012 and 2013, she was nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series for her performance in that show, and subsequently won in 2013. Her next project is Gracepoint, an upcoming American 10-episodes television series, remake of the UK’s Broadchurch.
