The diminutive and amazing Lea Michele, the actress who plays bossypants wannabe starlet Rachel in “Glee”, has revealed that she was urged in the past to have plastic surgery in order to get work.

Lea, who in the past has been teased and criticised about her au naturel nose, spoke out about the pressure to lose her quirky looks. “I’m five foot three. I don’t look like a lot of other people. I look like I’m 12. Managers told me, ‘Get a nose job. You are not pretty enough’. But I proved them wrong.”

Keep your chin up Lea – when in doubt, just close your eyes and think of Barbara Streisland. We love you!
