Tina Fey's Scar Finally Explained

579px-Tina_Fey_by_David_Shankbone.jpg


Tina Fey's husband has revealed something about his comedic wife that she has been guarded about, the story behind the scar on the left side of her face.

A Vanity Fair magazine article tells how Fey was attacked by a stranger wielding a knife when she was 5 years old.

"It was in, like, the front yard of her house, and somebody who just came up, and she just thought somebody marked her with a pen," Fey's husband, Jeff Richmond, told the magazine.

"That scar was fascinating to me," Richmond said. "This is somebody who, no matter what it was, has gone through something. And I think it really informs the way she thinks about her life."

It's sort of funny that a plastic surgeon didn't make an angular cut and make this scar virtually invisible. Likely some emergency room doctor instead merely crudely stitched up the wound. For stage purposes, I'm surprised that she doesn't use a little bit of mortician's wax to hide the scar under makeup. Mortician's wax is one of the most versatile stage make-up substances.

One of my own family members was born with significant facial birth defects and required extensive surgery. And doctor's did a pretty good job on Hank Williams Jr. after his serious hiking accident some years ago. Plastic surgeons aren't miracle workers, but they're pretty good considering some of the serious accident victims and others they help on a daily basis.

But the scar does give her some character, otherwise she's just another attractive woman.

Regardless, she's a great talent and the writing on SNL was probably the best ever under her.
