Jennifer Grey skyrocketed to fame after starring alongside Patrick Swayze in 1987’s "Dirty Dancing" – but after two nose jobs, she was shunned by Hollywood. The actress revisited her rhinoplasty, which left her unrecognizable to some, in her upcoming memoir "Out of the Corner," which hits bookshelves on May 3.

"That’s a lie. I banished myself." Grey said it was her mother, actress Jo Wilder, who suggested she get a nose job from very early on. Her father is Oscar-winning actor Joel Grey, best known for "Cabaret." Jennifer Grey opened up about getting plastic surgery in Hollywood.

You can't be Jewish. You know, you can't look Jewish. You're just trying to fit into whatever [it] is the group thinks." Grey eventually gave in.
