Famous Ugly People

If the list is to include athletes, you can’t leave off Randy Johnson.

Damn, 40 posts and no mention of Keith Richards.
I’ll also throw an honorable mention to Steven Tyler.

Carly Simon homely? Not with those legs and that figure. Even her face (which is all you saw in the photo) isn’t that bad.

He’s pretty ordinary ugly. Throw in a repeatedly broken nose and a few missing teeth and you’ve got hockey ugly.

I was merely agreeing with “Seinfeld” :smiley:

She’s not bad at all. Her mouth is a bit too large, but I’d take her over big-mouthed Julia Roberts.

Buddy Hackett
Eli Walach
Barbra Streisand

My gold standard for these types of threads is John Madden.

Richard Boone

I don’t think she was ever “classically beautiful” – she has a prominent nose and jaw, and a large mouth. (And, hey, the lady’s 65 years old now!) But, yeah, she had a smokin’ hot body, and, when she was younger, I thought she was pretty danged fine.

Yet another face for radio, Garrison Keillor.

Eep. I always picture that’s how Rainn "Dwight Shrute " Wilson will look when he gets old.

Gordon Ramsay aint much of a looker to begin with but taking into account that he’s not quite fourty-four, oy vey!

I think Gordon’s kinda hot, actually. But that might be more for personality than physical appearance.

Getting back to the topic, though, and looking at your link: Conan O’Brien. That guy’s just weird-looking.

I’ve always thought Lily Tomlin is attractive, and I used to think Sammy Davis Jr. was also, back in his younger days, despite his underbite.

Mick Jagger was very good-looking as a lad. See:

It seems to me a lot of people are on the list because they’re old. That’s not very fair.

I think I’d agree with Janis Joplin, though. She looked like a skeezy biker moll. Those late 60s fashions were a bit unfortunate.

Quentin Tarantino - strangely, he seems to have improved in looks lately.

Luis Guzmán is fairly unattractive.

Man, you people are incredibly harsh!! You interpret “ugly” VERY VERY loosely, as “not Hollywood-level attractive” in most cases!

About the only people named so far that I think could be considered genuinely ugly are Vincent Schiavelli, Rondo Hatten and yes, Susan Boyle. Maybe garrison Keillor.

Everyone else ranges from average/plain to very attractive, even beautiful. (Carly Simon, Barbra Streisand)

Janis Joplin wasn’t ugly, although I can’t argue with her overall “skanky biker chick junkie” vibe. But genetically she was just plain.

I think ugly denotes extreme degrees of unattractive, usually involving a feature or features that are actually distorted, as in Treacher-Collins Syndrome. As long as all the parts fall within relatively average parameters, it’s pretty hard to find people who are really ugly.

WARNING: the link on the last word goes to a very graphic image of a seriously disfigured kitty who is apparently happy and healthy, since his disfigurement was when he was a few weeks old and he’s now all grown up, but it is truly shocking to look at. He is a truly ugly kitty.

Well, she was voted “ugliest man on campus” at her college.
