The actress was remembered by the viewer as a star of one role - her dislike for her own nose cost her so successfully started a career, says Popcorn News.
60-year-old Jennifer Gray gained worldwide fame after playing Frances Hausmann in the dance film "Dirty Dancing" 33 years ago with the late Patrick Swayze. It seemed that the success of the 1987 film opened up new great opportunities for Jennifer in cinema.
But shortly before the premiere of Dirty Dancing, Jennifer had a car accident, which caused her neck problems for many years and could not move freely. After the release of the picture, Gray took a break from her career.
And a few years later, in the early 1990s, she underwent rhinoplasty because she believed that she had a big nose. According to Gray, this completely ruined her career. The operation was unsuccessful, so Jennifer had to go under the knife again. As a result, her appearance has changed so much that the famous and recognizable actress has become unlike herself.
“I went to the operating room as a celebrity, and I came out as no one. It felt like I had gone through a witness protection program or had become invisible, ”Jennifer said in an interview.
The directors stopped inviting an actress who the audience did not recognize for the main roles.
In 2010, Gray decided to remind the world of herself and signed up to participate in the show "Dancing with the Stars." Then she solved the problem with the trauma she received in her youth during the accident - a titanium plate was inserted to support her neck, and the actress was able to dance again.
