Jennifer Grey, the star of the 1987 classic Dirty Dancing, has written about her botched nose job in her new memoir. In the book, Out of the Corner: A Memoir, she revealed that she got a nose job because – even after the success of the film – “there didn’t seem to be a surplus of parts for actresses who looked like me” and she wanted to be cast as “something other than a Jew”.

The surgeon told her he would build her a “tip” as well as reconstructing the interior of her nose, and that he was “surprised” she could “breathe at all” with a “septum so severely deviated”.

Grey said it seemed at first as if the nose job had gone well, and she “finally made real money for the very first time in my life… working nonstop”.

But then one day on the set of Francis Ford Coppola’s Wind, John Toll, the cinematographer, walked over to her and said: “There is this little white – I don’t know, it looks like a bump, on the end of your nose.
