From Rod Serling's episode in the "Twilight Zone" titled- "Eye of the beholder" where everyone was considered beautiful with their pig-nose faces. They did multiple operations on a beautiful woman to try and make her look normal...It failed. But we all know, beauty comes from the heart.

she is so ugly the operation went wrong she's so beautiful

Ooooh! I remember that episode vividly. Watched it with my father. Seriously. Remember how short Rod Serling was. The cigarettes he chain-smoked were 1/2 as long as he was. ~ Miss Piggy

I remember that episode well. Quite the twist at the end, though a bit strange that after all her surgeries not a single stitch or scar lol
