The spectacularly handsome Laurence Olivier wore a fake nose, prosthetic warts, and a very unbecoming wig in Richard III.
Whereas when Gerard Depardieu put on a fake nose for Cyrano de Bergerac …
… he looked pretty much the same.
How about Jose Ferrer as Cyrano?
Or Steve Martin, for that matter?
About 60,000 star trek fans with restraining orders would beg to differ.
Nastassja Kinski was supposed to be ugly as Susie the Bear in The Hotel New Hampshire. She wasn’t, of course. A really bizarre casting choice.
You like baldheaded women with Borg implants and clunky armor? :eek:
And a grey, splotchy complexion?
Regarding Johnny Depp - He may try to hide his extreme good looks, but I don’t think he succeeds.
and re Jeri Ryan, she pretty much had to get a restraining order against her husband, if I recall. (He was caught out trying to sell her “services”, without her consent. Apparently he thought there was a demand.)
As much as I might celebrate the victory of Barack Obama, I would like to nip this one in the bud. So far as I know, Tim Ryan did express an interest in swinging, but Jeri Ryan said he never forced her to do anything she didn’t agree to and when she said she didn’t like it, it stopped.
Also, Pike’s first name was Christopher, not Jeremy.
And I believe Jeffrey Hunter was already dead when they made that episode, so it’s almost a shame they didn’t hire him to reprise the role.
Elizabeth Taylor in “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?”
She only thought of herself as the ugly one. She thought she was fat, short, dark and not as beautiful as the leggy blonde model (Uma Thurman).
Kevin Spacey (not a hunk, but pretty good looking) in the awful “Pay it Forward”.
Thanks for the correction, Ascenray.
How about Benicio Del Toro as Dr. Gonzo in Fear and Loathing?
I disagree with the bolded statement. I thought the idea was that to a bunch of horny Marines in 1963, anyone who didn’t fit the mold was automatically ugly. The middle ground was far narrower in those days, and the kind of people who would host a “dogfight” would be pretty darn superficial to begin with.
Daryl Hannah was originally turned down for her role in Steel Magnolias, but showed up for an audition anyway, so thoroughly deglammed no one recognized her. Makes one wonder how a lot of famous beauties would look if they let themselves go.
