Jennifer Gray On How A Nostril Job Virtually Ended Her Profession

The actress who performed the long-lasting position of Child alongside Patrick Swayze in Soiled Dancing has opened up in regards to the botched beauty surgical procedure that nearly ruined her Hollywood profession. In her upcoming memoir, Jennifer Gray stated that an ill-advised nostril job – and subsequent second operation – left her principally unrecognisable.
