Funny with the English dress sizes: when I was in London I couldn't find a size 8 anywhere and size 10 was too large for me;)
On 'starving to death' topic: The problem is that the TV/ cinematic cameras (though they differ substantially) actually make the person larger. Thus the actreses starve themselves to look not only skinny but actually bone+skin, as on the cinematic screen they look 'just right'.
Try comparing a regular picture of an actress and her cinematic self - she does look bigger in the cinema.
The optics of the cameras work like that.
