She did have a rather prominent nose. Not her fault obviously - just genetics but I'm surprised she didn't have cosmetic surgery to improve it.

I have a big nose , i would not ever change it , as for actresses these days , they all have any character removed from their faces so they all look the same , it is not natural

Didn't do her acting career any harm did it?

Maybe she was happy in her own self and felt the need never to change.

I'm amazed he was only 83. For some reason I remember him being an old man in Rocky which is now a 47 Yr old movie

He looked about 60 in Rocky IV, and that was 38 years ago now.
