Katharine Hepburn was a "manishly" thin woman in an era of voluptuous women..She was the "Oddity" in the 30's & 40's

Audrey Hepburn was the "thin waifishly helpless" woman in the era of Marilyn Monroe, Jayne Mansfield, Jane Russell, Doris Day,and scads of "normal sized" actresses of the 50's & early 60's

Twiggy changed everything for the masses.. Once she came along and was the one everyone wanted to be like, girls everywhere started dieting and trying to look super thin.. mini skirts and bikinis DO look better on stick-thin figures....and the rest is history
