Monkeys that Look Like Nanette Fabray

My fiftysomething caftan-wearing elderghey friend called me and told me to turn on PBS. He said there were monkeys that looked like Nanette Fabray.

I thought he'd broken into the good liquor again but turned it on anyway.

The monkeys really DO look like Nanette Fabray!

She had to have one of the worst nose jobs ever.

There was a porn star called Tiffany Clark back in the 80s (love straight porn from the 70s and 80s, sorry) that had a awful nose job that was similar to Fabray. Imagine Nanette Fabray in porn!

Here's a pic of her. (warning for sensitive gay eyes - her tits are visible too)

Her last name is Fabares, just like niece Shelley's. But Nanette said she changed the spelling after she was introduced on the radio a couple of times as "Nanette Faber-Ass."

[quote]She told The Times that her mother wasn't happy with her pug nose and took her to a plastic surgeon, who put in a metal bridge; the bridge was later removed in an operation. She had a final operation to try to bring her nose back to it's natural shape. Each nose job made Nanette Fabray's nose smaller.

Sure, Nan.

I think she changed the spelling of her name when someone announced "Fabares" as "Fab-bare-ass" at an event.

I worked on 'Dave Chappelle Show" some years ago, and one of the old-time actors (was it Joey Faye?) said that she had had so many nose jobs that she was sometimes referred to as "No Nose Nanette"!

She was a really talented lady, and actually her original nose was fine. Don't know why someone (her mother?) pressured her to have numerous nose jobs.

Nah, probably not Joey Faye , who died about 6 years before "Chapelle's Show", but someone like that an old-time comedian of that ilk.

I didn't realize Fabray's earliest screen appearance was 1939, in "The Private Lives of Elizabeth & Essex." She only had a few movie appearances before disappearing from the big screen screen for over a decade. Dolores Gray had a similar trajectory. No wonder both went under the knife to make themselves more photogenic.
