ANOREXIA COST NEWTON-JOHN'S DAUGHTER HER MEMORY

OLIVIA NEWTON-JOHN's singer daughter CHLOE LATTANZI was so ill at the height of her anorexia hell she lost her memory. Lattanzi, who is still stick-thin and desperately trying to return to good health after her eating disorder, admits she knew she had reached rock bottom when her mind started playing tricks on her. She tells US news show Entertainment Tonight, "That part of my life is a really big blur to me; I don't remember it." Lattanzi and her famous mother sat down for a taped heart-to-heart chat with ET's Mary Hart, which aired in America last night (26Apr07). The Grease star admits she tried to avoid her daughter's health crisis by ignoring it altogether. Newton-John explains, "You can't make your child eat if she doesn't want to and there was a time I was in denial about it. "I have to admit that, because you don't want to think that anything could be wrong. That's not to say I wasn't frightened, and nervous, and anxious for her." Chloe insists she's now past the worst of her eating disorder: "I'm through that darkness." And Newton-John is delighted her daughter is in recovery: "Her dad (Matt Lattanzi) and I would talk about it a lot, and we talked to Chloe and we dealt with it. But it was a very difficult period."
