ELIZABETH PERKINS

Elizabeth Perkins is an American actress known for her flexibility in her craft. Her most memorable work was the portrayal of Wilma Flintstone in The Flintstones. Throughout her career, she earned various nominations both for film and TV shows, which made her a bankable talent at the time. Unfortunately, in 2005, at the age of 44, she was diagnosed with latent autoimmune diabetes. From that point on, she turned into a supporter of spreading education about the disease via offline and online classes.

As her health became an issue, she made it clear to prioritize her lifestyle, but she made sure not to exit the spotlight. She returned on the big screen in 2011, voicing the character Bonnie O’Hare in the film Hop. With how she looks today, it is merely impossible to tell that she has health problems. With support from her family, she lived a pleasant lifestyle and bid goodbye to diabetes.
