Jennifer Gray unrecognizable since nose job
Why didn’t the rolls of film really work out after that? Grey, who was also seen in the 1980s comedy “Ferris macht blau”, attributes her sudden career end to, among other things, two nose jobs that she underwent in the early 1990s.
The second operation was necessary to correct problems arising from the first. The actress’ nose was changed in such a way that even close friends did not recognize her. “I went into the operating room as a celebrity – and came out anonymous. It was like I was in a witness protection program or invisible,” Gray once said of her changed appearance in an interview.
