Famous People with Scoliosis

“I had a back brace [for scoliosis] but this kid in my class [at the United Nations high school] had been a child solider in Sierra Leone, so I felt lucky.  Plus, I was taught never to dwell on it.  The feeling was, if you’ve got your arms and your legs and your health, then you can figure everything else out.” -Elettra Wiedemann  (model)

Elizabeth Taylor told America's W magazine: "I was born with scoliosis, but it has finally caught up with me. My body's a real mess. If you look at it in the mirror, it's just completely convex and concave. I've become one of those poor little women who's bent sideways. -askmen.com

I mean, I was like, in fact that was why I became a theatre geek, because I stayed away from sports all together, cause I was so self conscious and in so much physical pain from my body and now I do Pilates, which actually helped tremendously with scoliosis because scoliosis is something that is always there." -LOVELYish
