Telly Savalas was missing part of his left index finger.
Harold Lloyd lost his right thumb and forefinger when a prop bomb exploded in his hand. He still did all his own stunts in Safety Last a few years later.
Mordecai Brown lost parts of two fingers on his right hand, but managed to make it into baseball’s Hall of Fame. The accident supposedly made his fastball sink more than usual.
I never understood why he hid it for Star Trek, either. It would have made perfect sense for Scotty’s character for him to be short a digit or two.
Yeah.
I mean, please, she’s impossibly tall and gorgeous. That alone would be suspect. But no bellybutton? Clones walk amongst us, as I’ve always known they would.
Bree Walker has ectrodactyly.
Marky Mark’s third nipple looks more like a mole to me.
There was a guy at my high school who had no bellybutton. He had a sort of long scar thing instead.
Wasn’t there a fad for lack of belly buttons somewhere in Asia, such that people were deliberately getting them surgically removed?
That can’t be right. When they do surgery on fetuses before birth the babies are born without scars.
Those seem “over the top” to you?
I dunno… I must run with a very different crowd. Mutants, maybe. Not only do I know people in my own circle of acquaintances with similar “deformities” (most of which seem pretty minor to me) but I know people with much greater scars and deformities that those depicted.
Bottom line, all of the physical differences shown not only seem quite plausible to me, I was even aware of about half of them prior to viewing the link.
The deformities are quite plausible, but these are people who trade on their appearance to a significant extent. For the Bollywood leading man to have a hand that looks like it came from a “Night Gallery” episode is a bit surprising, and for Denzel to have 45 degree off kilter pinky it’s surprising they could let stuff like that go without geting it fixed.
That overlapping pinky toe seems real enough. I have an underlapping fourth toe on my left foot that occasionally disturbs people, and I’ve also met someone with the same underlapping fourth toe on her left foot, so I would imagine that crooked toes can’t be that rare.
It doesn’t say he had surgery.
I know several people with different-colored eyes. Two were from eye injuries; the eye turned blue as a result. The ones born that way don’t have webbed toes.
I once saw an ad with Martha Stewart where she clearly had 6 toes on one foot, but I never heard anything about it again. I don’t know if it was a hoax or not.
I think it’s great that perfect people are imperfect. However, I am sad that most of them prefer to hide it.
In the UK, Jeremy Beadle had a withered hand. It was common knowledge throughout his career as a major TV star and a widespread subject of tasteless jokes, yet I don’t remember it ever being terribly obvious in practice.
Lee Van Cleef was missing part of one of his fingers. It’s easily visable in the final gunfight in The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.
I wikied up Beadle out of curiosity. His life seems like nothing but one big list of accomplishments entertaining people. Why did the wiki say this re him being “hated”.
Oww… that made my brain hurt.
I’m surprised Joaquin survived being eaten my his mum. 
I can’t speak for the OP, but I doubt that “over the top” in this context means, “The fact that such hideous freaks exist makes me question my belief in a benevolent God.” More probably, it’s something like “I’m surprised that somebody with extra thumbs has not only succeeded in a profession that puts a premium on physical perfection, but is apparently in tremendous demand as a romantic lead.”
On the other hand (so to speak), losing a fingertip or two is such a common injury that it hardly seems worth remarking on, and ugly feet are almost irrelevant to an actor’s career. Few roles require displaying one’s bare feet, and doubles are available for those that do.
In the 1960s, sure, the chief engineer of the USS Enterprise might be short a finger.
By the 2260s, you can pop a pill to grow a new kidney.
