austen84's post 10 (Alleged) Celeb Nose Jobs: Who Admits It, Who Denies It and Who Won't Say (ONTD Original) I take a look at 10 Celebs who resisted surgery and embraced their schnozes.Barbra Streisand
Streisand has been open about how she was bullied and abused both as a child and as an adult for her prominent Jewish nose (her step-father frequently told her she wasn't pretty enough). Though she was advised to get surgery she resisted. "I arrived in Hollywood without having my nose fixed, my teeth capped, or my name changed. That is very gratifying to me"
Meryl Streep
Meryl Streep's looks have kept her from at least one role: playing the girl in the 1976 remake of King Kong. She auditioned for producer Dino De Laurentiis who asked his son in Italian why he had brought in such an ugly person not knowing that Meryl spoke Italian. The role went to Jessica Lange and Meryl went on to become the most Oscar nominated person in history with 21 nominations (and counting).
Rossy de Palma
Spanish actress Rossy de Palma began her career as Pedro Almodóvar muse. She's also a fashion darling and has appeared in campaigns for L'Oréal in addition to modelling for designers Jean-Paul Gaultier and Thierry Mugler. She said she might have considered surgery if her nose had bothered her, but it never did.
Josh Charles
Charles' prominent nose has never kept him from being seen as handsome onscreen or off. According to Michael Ian Black who went to summer camp with him "Josh was the big camp heartthrob despite his nose."
Anjelica Huston
Huston was advised to get a nose job by a modelling executive but resisted because of pressure from her actor/director father John Huston: "It would just have been declassé. He would have thought it was vulgar, to go and get a little nose. Also, I would’ve looked weird. It wouldn’t have suited my face."
Charlotte Gainsbourg
French actress Charlotte Gainsbourg was born to singer/songwriter Serge Gainsbourg (who had a prominent nose himself) and actress Jane Birkin. Charlotte confessed to wanting surgery for a smaller nose and being talked out of it by her father "My father always said that having a big nose is character. I wanted to redo my nose. I hated my nose. I was so embarrassed about it. But he said it would be the worst mistake and that (French singer) Juliette Greco used to have a wonderful big nose; she did surgery and it was not her anymore. It was not the same character."
Sarah Jessica Parker
SJP had to endure a lot of criticism about her nose (including being regularly called horse faced) but she always embraced her distinctive nose. She did however remove her "trademark" chin mole in 2008 and joked that she regretted it after fan outcry.
Sofia Coppola
Coppola was born with a prominent nose (they run in the Coppola family), but it became even bumpier after she broke it as a child. She considered surgery but actress Anjelica Huston promised her that she would eventually grow into it.
Jenny Slate
Slate has said she's proud she didn't get a nose job to fit in but has also said she's not against women who get plastic surgery: "I’m not here to say what other women should be doing with their lives or their bodies – that goes against everything I believe. But it feels dangerous to deny that women look different or that women age."
Lea Michele
Lea Michele has been open about the fact that she considered a nose job during high school but her mother talked her out of it after comparing her to Barbra Streisand.
