20 Pretty Actresses Who Aren’t Afraid To Play Ugly (PHOTOS)
Apr 6, 2010 at 11:00am
Hollywood is filled with beautiful actresses, but not every good role calls for a stunning woman. So what is a Hollywood actress to do? Well, she plays ‘ugly.’
Sometimes when an actress tries to go “plain” it can be annoying–are we really supposed to believe that because a pretty woman dyes her hair brown and wears glasses she is instantly undesirable? However, sometimes actresses can pull off the ugliness and make the audience look beyond their dowdy transformation and focus on their talent.
Click here to see our top 20 actresses who aren’t afraid to play homely.





























It wasn’t that hard to make her ugly .. Sorry ///

She looks even more cute with it :D
When they did Mia make over I thought there is another actress playing that part :D
She looks worse real …
Not sure where you got the idea Jane was meant to be ugly though. Agree Stanka – she is gorgeous.
No way! Velma is one of the sexiest nerds in pop culture!
She looked better in the movie.
Actualy she’s HIDEOUS, looked prettier as a “boy”
She looks more pretty in the movie. More natural

THANK YOU !!!!
she is really stunning and beautiful
I agree, the feature is so different like mouth, eyes..
i thought where is nicole when i first saw this movie
This list is so stupid. Plain clothes and less makeup does not make a person ugly.
This is before she had all her plastic surgery
[quote=kelly0eminemfan]THANK YOU !!!![/quote]
i also agree with that she is UGLY
what about sandra bullock in “love potion no. 9″
Pig nose or no nose those eyes have me hooked
Stupid list. You applaud them for “uglying” it up, but then go on to say they look beautiful anyway. Also, this is probably what most of these women look like without the pounds of makeup and amazing lighting. Good job insinuating that transgenders are ugly, too.
Well, isn’t this offensive.
Most of the women in this gallery aren’t ugly at all – they just resemble normal women. What does that mean? That you’re basically calling out anyone who doesn’t look like an overprocessed movie star for being “ugly.” I’d also bet that the stars featured in this piece aren’t half “stunning” in jeans with their makeup washed off.
Good job, Celeb Buzz. Keep up the good work. Also, to the writer who penned this piece – you’re pitiful. “However, sometimes actresses can pull off the ugliness.” Really?
oh yes it did.
lol i never noticed the shoes…
shes not that hot but she was pretty in her youth lol.
this chick is ugly in life and in that role. at least in the role its ment to b funny..
No they had to glue that nose on every morning when shooting that movie. Its just makeup, but its well done she does look totally different.
I think Heigl is ugly 24/7. At least she is less snooty looking on the left.
Not a big Drew Barrymore fan to start with.
Linda Cardellini was the first time I considered Velma attractive. Yeah, the shoes are the only real problem I can see.
Seems like makeup does a lot for her.
I do feel the right side is an improvement.
She was a mess in Being J.M. I think many would agree she’s been an acquired taste since The Mask, though.
