Movie stars are usually quite attractive, but occasionally a story calls for those looks to be obscured somewhat, or even completely obscured. The thing about physical deformities is that once you get used to seeing them, you tend to not see them at all.

TVOM identified eleven movies that feature main characters with serious physical anomalies that figured into the story, but didn’t put us off at all once we got to know the character.
