5. Jennifer Grey
Jennifer Grey may not look as drastically different as most people on this list, but it was a simple surgery that ruined her career, and for that she deserves some recognition.
In the early 90s, Grey went into surgery to try and correct her nose. By this point in her career, Grey had already appeared in the classic Ferris Bueller’s Day Off and had a bright future ahead of her.
Unfortunately, her surgeons did far too good a job “normalizing” her face. When talking about her nose job, Grey said “I went in the operating room a celebrity—and came out anonymous. It was like being in a witness protection program or being invisible.” As a result, she even considered changing her name and trying to re-enter the acting industry, but realized that was an awful idea.
Grey had a few more appearances in her acting career, including a stint on It’s Like, You know… in which her nose job was a running gag.
