1. Naomi Grossman

Naomi Grossman is well-known by the fans of the TV show American Horror Story for playing the role of Pepper. Her character was so beloved that she was the first one to appear in two different seasons. Pepper, who is suffering from microcephaly, is sent to a mental asylum for a crime she didn't commit in the second season, of American Horror Story: Asylum. Pepper then appeared in the fourth season, American Horror Story: Freak Show, where we learn more about her story and past as she is performing in a circus freak show.

2. Anne Hathaway

Anne Hathaway's breakthrough role was in The Princess Diaries. She played the lead role of Mia Thermopolis, a clumsy young teenager who suddenly discovers she is royalty. She then goes through a serious and much-needed makeover that sees her losing her glasses and changing her hairstyle.
The character Tiffany doesn't have good looks or dental hygiene, mostly due to her drug addiction before being sent to jail. The beautiful Taryn Manning was already a well-known actress before the role of Tiffany. She acted in the series Sons of Anarchy and the movie 8 Mile.

Before she was the leading role in The Handmaid's Tale, a lot of people knew Elisabeth Moss for her role as Peggy Olson on Mad Men. She was the secretary of Don Draper, the show's main character. In the first season, she is frowned upon for her appearance in comparison to the other women. A lot of disparaging remarks are made both about her, and her choice of attire in the office.

In the beginning, the character of Peggy is both homely and innocent. Throughout the show, she became a real feminist who starts to denounce the double standards between women and men, not only in her firm, but also in society - which was quite brave to do in the sixties!

This is a classic movie for '90s teens. In this 1999 movie called Never Been Kissed, Drew Barrymore is Josie Geller, a girl who was a geek back in high school. Now an adult and working as an editor, she is being told to go undercover as a high school student to prepare a report on the lives of young teenagers. In the beginning, she is being ridiculed and rejected for her poor fashion taste, but she slowly starts to erase her bad memories and fit in.

Drew Barrymore certainly had to wear ridiculous and unflattering clothing to play the part of Josie. Everyone can relate to the movie with their own high school experience. We were all ready to make efforts to fit in and felt sad when we were rejected.

How strange a casting director thought a beautiful woman like Linda would be perfect for the part of the nerdy Velma. But behind the legendary ugly orange sweater and the big glasses was a talented and gorgeous actress. She reprised her role in the sequel where we could see more of her beauty in a makeover scene.

Mayim Bialik may not play the part of a glamorous woman on the show, but in real life, she certainly is one! And clever too! Coincidentally, she also has a Ph.D. in neuroscience like her character in the show. She turned to acting after graduating from UCLA in order to spend more time with her children.
Why such a list? Arya is the daughter of an important Lord named Ned Stark, who expects her to become a proper lady like her older sister even though she'd rather learn to fight like men on the show do. After most of her family is betrayed and murder, she is thrown onto the streets without any protection. She pretends to be a boy, and she must learn to survive. In real life, Maisie does not look like Arya.

Tina won several Golden Globes and Emmys for both her writing on her acting on the show because she used her experience as a writer and performer on Saturday Night Live to create a satirical sitcom. Liz Lemon might be a weird woman, but Tina is adamant that she was just playing a role.
You may remember her iconic catchphrase from the movie: "and may the odds ever be in your favor," as she is drawing the names of the two unfortunate participants for the next Hunger Games. The costume designer and the makeup artist did a terrific job of transforming the exquisite Elizabeth Banks into Effie.
To transform into Cersei, Lena Heady had to change her natural hair color for the blond hair typical of the Lannisters family on the show. But the real challenge came after Cersei's arrest (on the show). Her hair is forcefully cut, and she has to endure a long walk on the old paved streets of the capital with no shoes and completely naked. Lena sacrificed her hair and lost some weight to play those hard-to-watch scenes. Sadly, she wasn't recognized as much as her co-stars by the different awards shows. The fans truly admired her work in the show.

She says all the cast members were cast because of the quirky looks, and that she goes out of her way to make Frankie a little bit frumpy. Her outfits and haircut are very plain, far from the glamorous woman she can be in real life. She says that even with the extras on set and the cameos, the casting director goes out of his way to find people who look ordinary and have a friendly Midwest vibe.
In several interviews, Michele stated that she gained a lot of weight to play the part of Rachel. It was also hard for her to adapt to the LA lifestyle. Since her show was canceled, Lea Michele is more present in the media, where she promotes a lifestyle of fitness, wellness, and clean eating.
You have to be honest and admit Pam seems a little plain and boring sometimes, but Jenna thought the role was perfect for her. She was quoted as saying: "I'm so attached to Pam's journey," and, "I just love playing this character so, so much." When The Office premiered in 2005, Jenna admitted she didn't wish to be a huge star. On the contrary, she just wanted to "be on a long-running hit TV show." Jenna got her wish, and she created something we will always remember.
On Pretty Little Liars, you could see two sides of Janel. She played a timid and unpopular Mona in flashbacks reflecting back to when she was bullied for her appearance. Contrast that with the present day, Mona, a confident, sexy girl who was afraid of nothing and extremely smart. In the show, you might say she is a bit of a villain, and Janel expressed on numerous occasions how much she loved to play the role. It's just "so much fun," according to her.
Mae Whitman is nothing like Ann in real life, and she has continued to act in more shows and movies since the end of Arrested Development. In 2015, she played the lead in the film The Duff, in which it is she learns she is "the duff" of her group of friends, which stands for "designated ugly fat friend." Ouch! She does not look like that description.
