Honestly - I wouldn't expect Bridget to still be stick / cocaine thin like she was then, but................damn.............really? OK, so you decided to park yourself in front of the TV and sample the latest Oreo flavors by the truck-load. At some point wouldn't you or at least your doctor say, maybe I need to be a little healthier?

In 25y commuting between the front range of CO and Los Alamos NM I've actually been through Trinidad only three times. I usually stick to the mountains as I-25 is sort of the long way to get from here to there.

It is a charming town with (I think) a big coal mining history. The road from there up along the east edge of the Sangre de Cristos through La Veta is very nice.

There's also some other history from what I recall...

Why, that doesn't stop the other 90% of the American population. Just because she used to be hot and on screen doesn't mean that she's different from any of the rest of us. There are plenty of actors and actresses that are photographed years after their heyday that are heavy, out of shape and have lost the bloom of youth. Shoot, there are plenty of photos of actors and actresses that gain a bunch of weight and get out of shape in between movies/projects.

That's so cool on so many levels! Thanks for posting the info and extra photo.
