Vivien Leigh - Tuberculosis
In 1945, after a tour of Africa, a 32-year-old actress was diagnosed with tuberculosis.

Despite the progression of the disease, she continued to work until exhaustion. In 1967, at the age of 53, the star died from another bout of tuberculosis.

Lyme disease, also known as tick borelliosis, is a disease that is transmitted to a person through the bites of ixodid ticks. In Bella Hadid, this disease was discovered in October 2015, and since then she has to lie under a dropper every day. Because of borreliosis, Bella is very quickly tired and often feels "fog in the head".

She continued to attend parties, drink alcohol and eat for fun. Only after a few "visits" to intensive care in the ambulance, Holly realized that it was time to take up the mind. She forever gave up alcohol and carefully watches her diet. Partly because of this strict regime, the actress has an amazing figure:
"My illness taught me to take care of my health and let me keep my figure. To be slim is simple, if you cross out of life baking, sugar, salt, alcohol. This choice was not easy for me, although I understood that it was not a figure, it was my health "
