How about Tracey Gold from
Growing Pains
? For a couple of seasons she was a bit on the plump side. She looked okay to me but apparently the producers of the show pressured her into shedding some pounds. Her struggles with her weight and anorexia are well publicized. -

ExoticMadchen, there is no such size as zero. That's just the fashion industry playing inside your head. And newsflash honey,
being slim doesn't mean NOT having hips, tits and an ass!
Which last time I checked, most men, by the way, still enjoy viewing.
Between the late 70's and first half of the 80's there were so many more babes & hunks on tv. Now it's all
androgynous
people in lab coats, flashing badges and holding smartphones, portrayed by bobble-head actresses with no curves and metrosexual-geek actors with no chins.
Luke Perry and Lara Flyn Boyle have a lot to answer for.

ShanDo started to lose a ton of weight starting around the second season - or actually the first summer episodes when they all had to wear bikinis. And they always have the same excuse: "I lost my baby fat!" Yeah, that, and the cocaine.:)

Cybill Shepherd - big boned woman; never made any apologies for it.
Edit: just re-read your post and ITA with your face comments too. Roundish faces, apple cheeks, and cute noses are much prettier than these mannish jaws, prominent but unnaturally narrow noses and cheekbones that are so scary they could cut glass. Lake Bell would never have gotten a job in the 80s, let alone as a babe.

Totally agree that Lisa Whelchel was the hottest curvy starlet of them all. Kim Fields was a close second.
Now, the majority of actress on T.V look like 13 year old under developed boys(Blake Lively, deemed the hot one on that rich girl show).
I'm straightapplaud me for my bravery! -

Just wondering

I agree w/u. I was a teenager in the 80's and now this day in age yup bag of bones is beautiful. I was not chubby or fat nor was I stick skinny. I think back to then and my body was great.
Curvy: U could prolly add Kim Fields from Facts of Life.
The sisters from the family music group The Jetts.
Tracy Gold, she was not stick skinny. She did try to starve herself and struggled w/that due to Hollywood.
I really don't remember toooo many bony girls back then, I think most of them were curvy or healthy. Some were bony, but growing up back then that wasn't a big deal for alot of teen girls and myself and my sister and friends. It was about the clothes and hair lol. I assume u r an 80's kid? If I think of anyone else I'll let u know. Good day to u. -

Modern exceptions:
Kira Kosarin (Thundermans)
Torri Webster (Life with Boys)
Esther Zynn (The Other Kingdom)
Aislinn Paul (Degrassi next gen)
Jessica Tyler "
Melinda Shankar "
Cassie Steele "
Vanessa Morgan (Babysitter Vampire)
Kate Todd "
Jojo Levesque (Aquamarine)
I could go on one point, a lot of the best are in Canadian/Australian/UK TV. The problem is mostly in Hollywood USA.
BTW skinny mania started in the 60's already with Twiggy and slowly gained steam until it actually became prevalent in the 80's I could probably list tons of stick figure 80's actresses too. But I'd rather forget them : )

I don't know about those but I'm a fan of Battle of the Network Stars and they had some really beautiful women competing. Lisa Welchel competed at least once and was did pretty good. I don't recognize those other women you listed.
In Battle, the women that stood out for pure beauty were Heather Thomas, Donna Dixon, Jane Seymour, Farrah Fawcett-Majors, Ann Jillian, Linda Carter, Victoria Principal, Randi Oakes and many more.
