Law & Order<\/a> <\/a>alum Camryn Manheim has surprised fans by recently debuting her weight-loss transformation.<\/p>\n

Last week, Manheim, 65 \u2014 best known for her Emmy-winning role as attorney Ellenor Frutt on ABC’s celebrated Nineties legal drama, The Practice \u2014 stepped out for the opening night of Rosie O’Donnell’s off-Broadway autobiographical show, <\/a>Rosie O’Donnell: Common Knowledge<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In glasses, blue jeans, a purple-patterned top and a statement necklace, Manheim looked drastically different from her early career days when posing for photos.<\/p>\n

The actor’s slimmed-down figure <\/a>has not been lost on fans, as several expressed amazement over her new look.<\/p>\n

“Usually when they say someone is ‘unrecognizable,’ they’re instantly recognizable to me. Lol but not this one!” one person responded on X to an article about Manheim’s dramatic transformation. “Camryn has always been so beautiful, but she looks like a totally different person now!”<\/p>\n

“Get out\u2026that is not her. No way!” a second insisted, while a third added, “I think she looks great!!!!!”<\/p>\n

Manheim, who starred as Lieutenant Kate Dixon on the flagship <\/a>Law & Order<\/a> <\/a>for three seasons, from 2022 to 2024, has long been open about her personal struggles with her weight.<\/p>\n

In 1994, she created and starred in her one-woman off-Broadway show, Wake Up, I’m Fat!, which featured funny and poignant stories about navigating life in a society obsessed with thinness. She later adapted the show into her best-selling memoir of the same name, published in 1999.<\/p>\n

“Almost everything I do is related to being fat,” Manheim told Ability Magazine<\/a>‘s<\/a> disability advocate Chet Cooper in the late Nineties. “So on one hand, I can say that being fat is the thing I hate most about myself, but on the other hand, I know that it defines me and is an important part of who I am, and I really like who I am.”<\/p>\n

After accepting her first Emmy in 1998 for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series, the <\/a>Ghost Whisperer<\/a> <\/a>star dedicated the win to “all the fat girls.”<\/p>\n

“I’ve always felt like a misfit,” Manheim said, “and to get this award from my peers is such a huge victory.”<\/p>\n

Reflecting on her bold declaration years later in a 2019 interview with The Hollywood Reporter, she said: “I’ve made my mark by being vocal. I just play roles that have nothing to do with my size, but with my power and spirit. It’s who I am at the core of my being. That’s what’s happening in the second tier of my career.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Law & Order alum Camryn Manheim has surprised fans by recently debuting her weight-loss transformation.
