Zeta-Jones is not ugly, she’s average-looking and she isn’t bony either. Julia Roberts is horrible though, there isn’t a single part on her body or face that looks normal. That buffy the vampire slayer chick is ugly, dont know her name but every time i see her its like NOT AGAIN ! ---

Cruel thread. But I like it. Chalk in another vote for Manheim. (And, no, not because she is fat. She’s just ugly.) Has anyone mentioned Grace Jones? She’s definitely up there. And, yeah, another vote for Sandra. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Bedrosian Bixby \* > \*\*Not one mention of Phyllis Diller. I think she epitimizes this thread. \*\* Thats just part of the act. Search out some “glamor” shots of her. Not too shabby. I got a chance to meet her years ago when her limo got stuck in the snowbank near my house. She hung around with my folks till they sent another one round. She was actually really cool. Funny thing was, she was wearing a skin-divers hat, full length fur coat and converse high-tops! 😃 ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by LMM \* > \*\*Nobody nominated Glen Close? She is **ugly**. And annoying. \*\* I was about to… 🙂 The first time I saw her was in _Fatal Attraction_. When Michael Douglas picked her up in the bar, I said to myself, “What is he thinking?! That’s a guy in drag!” In the next scene, I kept waiting for this to be revealed… 😕 It finally dawned on me that she really was female. Anyway, while she deserves a nomination, she really can’t complete with Sandra Bernhard. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Eve \* > \*\*Yes, poor **Margaret Hamilton** made a living being ugly–she was a walking punchline. I always marveled that she was such a well-adjusted, cheerful woman; I’d have slit my wrists. \*\* Her presentation was indeed endearing. She is the epitomy of beauty that begins just below the epidermis, and continues straight on into the heart. How many so-called celebritites have I shot who have supposedly been fabulously lovely, and in fact were the ugliest human beings on the face of the planet, despite having nice skin? Besides, Margaret almost got me to become a Folger’s boy. 🙂 ---

Fairuza Balk? What? Hurble durble, okay she has a strike against her for banging Moby but who can turn down black hair, pale skin and icy eyes on a decent body with nice mammalia? Black Irish or Hungarians all the way. Or the redheaded chick from That Seventies Show. I’ll be back in five minutes, anyone got some spare kleenex? ---

I totally second Juliette Lewis. In addition she spent most of her (seemingly euthanized) career as a coked up stupid bee-yotch, which just adds to it. The woman makes Buddy Hackett look like Madonna. Another character actress who makes being ugly pay appeared alongside Hatchet-Face in CRYBABY: Susan Tyrell. (She played Depp & Lake’s grandma in the movie.) She was hysterical in her recurring role as an old sailer, “Sconset Sal”, on WINGS- my favorite moment was when she picked a louse off of her herself at a wedding and said “Hey little feller, I ain’t the Holly-day Inn!” (Trivia: though she walks perfectly well on her prostheses, she has no legs.) Speaking of Vincent Schiavelli lovechildren, his real child is with MOONLIGHTING star Allyce Beasley, who wasn’t much better looking than him [http://mitglied.lycos.de/jamemb82/Anges.jpg](http://mitglied.lycos.de/jamemb82/Anges.jpg) . She’s very talented though, and I loved the episode in which Imogene Coca played her mother. I’ve seen that same Nancy Culp glamor shot- it was hysterical. Ironically, Granny from that series looked better as Granny than when she was in character. Norma Miller (famous in jazz circles), the singer-actress who played Grady’s fiancee Dolly in a great episode of SANFORD & SON, also made being ugly pay, if only briefly. Speaking of, I’m surprised nobody’s mentioned Whoopi “You sho is ugly!” Goldberg. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/ugliest-actress-committed-to-film/155403.md?page=3)
