Jennifer Grey opens up about nose job that 'banished her from Hollywood'

Jennifer Grey has recently opened up about her two nose jobs in her memoir Out of the corner that almost cost “her identity and career” in Hollywood.

In an exclusive interview with The New York Times, the actress recalled how the 1987 hit movie Dirty Dancing made her “America’s sweetheart” within no time but, at the same time she received no other offers because “of her nose”.

This made Jennifer undergo two rhinoplasty surgeries to tweak her nose. 

The second surgery left her nose “truncated and dwarfed” and eventually made her unrecognisable at a premiere to celebrities like Michael Douglas whom she had known for a while.

“That was the first time I had gone out in public. In the world's eyes, I was no longer me,” the 62-year-old described the impact of plastic surgery on her life.

“I spent so much energy trying to figure out what I did wrong, why I was banished from the kingdom. That's a lie. I banished myself," she added.

Meanwhile, the actress also recounted her dating days with Ferris Bueller’s Day Off co-star Matthew Broderick and a "bonfire" relationship with Johnny Depp. 

While embarking on the second chapter of her life at 62 after divorce from Clark Gregg in 2020 and getting rid of her nose job, Jennifer said that she "has never felt more comfortable in her own skin”.
