Obviously you’re not a Goth 
.
I’m more of a Vandal.
Eric Stoltz in “Mask”
Robert DeNiro in Raging Bull – especially in the scenes as the older, fat Marciano.
Joan Crawford in A Woman’s Face (1941)
Norma Shearer, makeup-less in the amusingly titled Let Us Be Gay (1930)
Mary Pickford as a crippled Cockney in Stella Maris (1918)
Touche.
Laurie Mitchell in Queen of Outer Space (“Men! Men did this to me!”)
Marlene Dietrich (when all is said and done) in Witness for the Prosecution
One of the women in The Brain/Head that Wouldn’t Die
You couldn’t cal him beautiful, I’ll grant you, but John Hurt in The Elephant Man. Not to mention Anthony Parker as Merrick in From Hell.
And all those women of whom they say – “Why, Miss Jones, without your glasses you’re beautiful!” Hollywood has a different standard of ugly (and fat) than the rest of us. Just for once I want to hear:
“Why, Miss Jones, without my glasses you’re beautiful!”
Raging Bull was about Jake La Motta, not Rocky Marciano.
Ralph Fiennes as Dolarhyde in Red Dragon.
:dubious: I tought he looked as good as ever. Unless you think that little scar from the cleft palate was as horribly disfiguing as Dolarhyde did. Not to say he was all that attractive in the movie but he was unattractive as a character.
Wasn’t it originally supposed to be Kathy Bates or someone like that?
Hunter appeared only as the handsome Pike in the scenes taken from the original pilot episode. The uglified Pike was played by Sean Kenney. But, the Vina character, played by Susan Oliver, was horribly deformed; however, in most of the scenes, she appeared as the beautiful Oliver, because Pike was under the influence of the Talosians’ mind powers.
Lily Taylor may not be known as a true Hollywood Beauty, but I think she’s pretty hot. She was uglified in Dogfight, a movie that would have been more convincing had they cast a truly ugly woman in the lead role.
Not really a handsome guy? Okay, he was handsome back in the 9 1/2 Weeks days. But today, my god, he’s just as ugly as Marv in Sin City. They hardly had to do anything to him. If anything, the stylised visuals of the movie somewhat hid the true horror that is Mickey Rourke’s monstrous visage. As our antipodean friends might say, he’s as ugly as a hatful of monkey’s arseholes. He’s continually bothered by swarms of spinster toads trying to kiss him in search of their cursed princes. After Rourke got beaten ugly, the ugly stick had to be sent back to the factory for mending.
Raymond Massey (not a hunk, I’ll grant, but not ugly) as the scarred older brotherpsycho killer in Arsenic and Old Lace
I will 3rd that. Her hair frizz thing was different and although she was a nut, she was a hot not.
Don’t forget the dowdy, frumpy wallflower she played in Now, Voyager (although this is another role in which the actress merely takes off her glasses to become Beautiful.)
Pretty boy Jared Leto got his face bashed in (literally) and stayed that way for the last half of Fight Club.
Cher went from frumpy to knockout in Moonstruck. This was, of course, before she became a human waxwork and perennial “awful plastic surgery.com” featurette.
Jeri Ryan didn’t have much going for her as a Borg.
Nicole Kidman playing Virginia Woolf in The Hours. Prosthetic nose and everything.
Farrah Fawcett was decidely unglamorous in The Burning Bed.
I hate to cry “not ugly” more than once, but Virginia Woolf, in her prime, was smokin’ – and although the years weren’t any kinder to her than they are to anyone, The Hours was much kinder. In the film, she was still beautiful when she went wading.
Grrr. Don’t be talkin’ sh*t about Ginny.
