20 Actresses Not Afraid To Play “Ugly”

Sometimes in Hollywood a script calls for actresses to tone down their makeup or gain a bit of weight, which leads us to this list. Now I don’t think any of these actresses are that ugly in the roles they play, some of them are just wearing barely any makeup but some of them do look a bit like death.

20 Actresses Not Afraid To Play "Ugly" 20

20. Katherine Heigl

Katherine toned down her stunning looks to play the plain Jane in ’27 Dresses.’ Are we really supposed to believe that a dishwater-blond dye job is supposed to make Hiegl “ugly”?

20 Actresses Not Afraid To Play "Ugly" 19

19. Drew Barrymore

Drew played the dorky Josie Geller in ‘Never Been Kissed’ but ugly clothes, no make-up and a dorky hairdo couldn’t hide the fact she was a stunning woman.

18. Linda Cardellini

Linda is stunning but she often plays homely characters. She tried her best to convince us that she was an ugly nerd as Velma in 2002′s ‘Scooby-Doo.’ Unfortunately for Linda, we can see past those hideous wedges and wig to know she is actually gorgeous in real life.

17. Christina Ricci

Christina is so cute that the only way to make her homely is to stick on a disgusting pig nose onto her face. Ricci played the unfortunately-nosed title character of the film ‘Penelope.’

16. America Ferrera

Perhaps the most common example of a pretty actress who plays ugly is America in her role as Betty in ‘Ugly Betty.’ Again, dowdy clothes and nerdy accessories are brought in to turn the stunning America into a (sort of believable) nerd, but we all know that America is gorgeous in real life.

20 Actresses Not Afraid To Play "Ugly" 15

15. Cameron Diaz

Cameron played the homely Lotte in ‘Being John Malkovich’ with the aid of a frizzy wig and brown eye contacts. Because we all know how brown eyes/curly hair equals homely!

20 Actresses Not Afraid To Play "Ugly" 14

14. Anne Hathaway

If there is ever a “makeover” scene in a film you can guarantee that the pre-makeover character will be wearing glasses and ugly clothes. So it is no surprise that Anne had to get ugly for her breakout role in ‘The Princess Diaries.’

20 Actresses Not Afraid To Play "Ugly" 13

13. Scarlett Johansson

Scarlett is lusted after by almost every man in America but men weren’t exactly clamoring for her attention in her breakout role as am awkward, snarky teenager in ‘Ghost World.’

20 Actresses Not Afraid To Play "Ugly" 12

12. Tina Fey

Every Thursday Tina tries to convince us that she is the unattractive Liz Lemon on NBC’s ’30 Rock.’ Sure, trying to pass off Fey as ugly is pretty unbelievable but the show is funny enough for us to ignore this ridiculous element.

20 Actresses Not Afraid To Play "Ugly" 11

11. Michelle Williams

Michelle typically plays “pretty girl” roles but in the indie film ‘Wendy and Lucy’ she tried her best to look homely. We guess all it takes to look ugly is to have an unfortunate short haircut and an unflattering pair of jorts.

20 Actresses Not Afraid To Play "Ugly" 10

10. Nicole Kidman

Nicole popped on a fake nose to get “ugly” to play Virginia Woolf in ‘The Hours.’ Despite how the film portrayed her, Woolf was actually a celebrated beauty during her time. But “pretty” doesn’t translate to “Oscar” for Hollywood actresses.

20 Actresses Not Afraid To Play "Ugly" 09

9. Chloe Sevigny

Chloe is known for her good looks and fashionable taste off-camera but she dialed up the dowdiness for Nikki Grant in HBO’s ‘Big Love.’ It is hard to make a pompadour and a French braid look cute, but Chloe somehow finds a way to make it work.

20 Actresses Not Afraid To Play "Ugly" 08

8. Jenna Fisher

Jenna scrunched her hair with a full can of mousse to make us believe she was the plain Pam in NBC’s ‘The Office.’ That hairstyle and boring office clothing could make even the most gorgeous woman look plain.

20 Actresses Not Afraid To Play "Ugly" 07

7. Elisabeth Moss

Pretty Elisabeth got the world’s worst bangs to play the unattractive but ambitious Peggy Olson in AMC’s ‘Mad Men.’ Again, Hollywood’s answer to make pretty actresses unattractive is a horrible haircut.

20 Actresses Not Afraid To Play "Ugly" 06

6. Kaitlin Olson

Kaitlin tries her best to come off as unattractive as Dee Reynolds in ‘It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia’ but we can all tell she is stunning when not dressed up to look like a white trash slob. Why are so many leading women in comedy shows forced to play ugly?

20 Actresses Not Afraid To Play "Ugly" 05

5. Hilary Swank

Hilary is a stunning woman but she made us believe she was a dowdy transgendered man for her Oscar-winning role in ‘Boys Don’t Cry.’

20 Actresses Not Afraid To Play "Ugly" 04

4. Mariah Carey

Mariah shocked the world when she stripped off her diva glamor and played a plain-looking social worker in ‘Precious.’

20 Actresses Not Afraid To Play "Ugly" 03

3. Felicity Huffman

One of Hollywood’s favorite way to ugly-up actresses is to make them play a transgendered person. Felicity played male-to-female transsexual Bree for 2005′s ‘Transamerica.’

20 Actresses Not Afraid To Play "Ugly" 02

2. Charlize Theron

Charlize surprised audiences everywhere when she portrayed a homeless, murdering hooker in 2003′s ‘Monster,’ which earned her an Oscar. Looking at the picture of the two, it is still hard to believe that they are even the same person.

20 Actresses Not Afraid To Play "Ugly" 01

1. Amy Sedaris

Perhaps one of the greatest examples of “getting ugly for a role” is Amy playing Jerri Blank in the brilliant TV show (and later, movie) ‘Strangers With Candy.’ Sedaris played up Jerri’s ugliness so much that it almost became an art form.

Do you agree with this list? I would take out Katherine Heigl and add in Renee Zellweger for playing Bridget Jones.

10. Isla Fisher

Isla Fisher - Hottest Actresses You Will Never See Naked

Tragically, in 2008 she underwent a double mastectomy to counteract the breast cancer she had been dealing with. A moment of silence.

For now, it looks like seeing Kristin’s wonder twins is unlikely, but later on she may (hopefully) reconsider.
