‘Law & Order’ Alum Looks Nearly Unrecognizable During New York City Outing

Camryn Manheim is showing off her new look.

The Law & Order alum, 65, stepped out for the opening night of Rosie O’Donnell‘s one-woman show, Common Knowledge, in New York City last week, where she looked nearly unrecognizable as she flaunted her dramatic weight loss.

In the photos, obtained by Page Six, the Emmy-winner kept it casual for the outing, wearing glasses, a patterned blouse, jeans and beaded jewelry. While she took several solo shots, Manheim also posed on the carpet alongside a few of her famous friends, including Julie Halston and Ricki Lake.

Sharing snaps from the event to Instagram, Manheim was met with lots of love in the comment section from fans who praised her transformation, with one writing, “You look fabulous!!!❤️❤️❤️,” and another adding, “You look as young as when I first saw you in the early 2000’s acting. You just look beautiful and full of life!”

It’s not the first time Manheim has shown off her slimmer figure, with the longtime actress rocking a black pantsuit with white trim for the Women’s Guild Cedars-Sinai Spring Luncheon alongside Monica Lewinsky in May. In March, Manheim was on hand for the Human Rights Campaign Dinner, stunning in a black jumpsuit and white collared top.

Best known for her role on the long-running crime series, as well as parts in The Practice, Scary Movie 3, Romy & Michelle’s High School Reunion and more, Manheim has long been an advocate for body positivity at any size.

Back in 1998, while accepting her Emmy for her role as defense attorney Ellenor Frutt on The Practice, she proudly declared in her acceptance speech, “This is for all the fat girls.”

“My platform is not fat acceptance, it’s self-acceptance,” she told The New York Times in 1999 about her impactful speech. “My weight is being celebrated.”

In 2019, she opened up to The Hollywood Reporter about working hard to pave the way for plus-sized people.

“I’ve made my mark by being vocal,” Manheim said at the time. “I just play roles that have nothing to do with my size, but with my power and spirit. It’s who I am at the core of my being. That’s what’s happening in the second tier of my career.”

She has yet to open up publicly about her weight loss journey.
