10 Movies That Gave Actors The Idea To Do Something REALLY STUPID

10. Jennifer Grey Got A Career-Ruining Nose Job - Dirty Dancing

In the late 1980s, Jennifer Grey's career seemed to be riding high, having appeared in Ferris Bueller's Day Off and Dirty Dancing back-to-back.

However, following Dirty Dancing's mammoth commercial success, Grey felt that her distinct physical appearance - namely the shape of her nose - made her "look Jewish" and would therefore limit her ability to be cast in a wide variety of roles.

And so, with the guidance of her mother, Grey elected to undergo two rhinoplasty procedures in the early 1990s, which ultimately ended up transforming her facial structure far more significantly than she had planned.

As a result, even close friends didn't recognise Grey, and predictably the major physical change had an overwhelmingly negative effect on her career.

Because Grey no longer resembled Baby from Dirty Dancing, she was basically "invisible" in Hollywood, and even considered changing her name to basically start her career over.

In recent years Grey admitted that her decision to have a nose job killed not only her career but also her sense of identity, telling Us Weekly, "I'll always be this once-famous actress nobody ­recognises because of a nose job."

Grey has worked sporadically ever since, but back in 1987 it seemed like she was destined to become Hollywood's next "It Girl."
