Kristin Johnson was a great actress, but she was distraught. Kristin was told she didn’t have the face to be a leading lady in film despite her obvious talent. Kristin was blessed with a body other women prayed for, but in her personal life she was crushed to discover a man she loved once held a contest that crowned her “Ms. Butterface”, as in everything is great about Kristin, but her face, without her knowledge. Kristin made a painful decision to alter her appearance and it changed her life and career, but she unexpectedly did something that shocked the world and sparked a worldwide discussion about what constitutes a healthy self image, imposed standards of beauty and talent. Could a woman considered “less pretty” than other women become a success in Hollywood in a business that ran on unrealistic perceptions of beauty and often placed style above substance?
