Her Struggles
When Richard was trying to overcome his drug addiction, he came to the realization that his sister was dealing with anorexia. Karen, however, denied the claims when he asked her about it. The two finally returned to work in 1980 and they released an LP titled “Made in America” the following year. The comeback was a success! They were able to sell 200,000 copies and one track from the LP, “Touch Me When We’re Dancing”, reached the 16th spot of the Top 100 Hits.

It is important to understand that anorexia was not as common back then as it is now. This made the condition particularly difficult to understand when she was given the diagnosis. Karen had to go through rehabilitation and therapy, where she was basically forced to eat a sufficient amount of food. After all, the young woman lost over 25 pounds in just a single month since her intake was limited to drinking water and a small amount of food.
