Eva Mendes, one of Hollywood⿿s great beauties, was an ugly duckling as a kid. ⿿I had the nickname Bugsy, for Bugs Bunny, because I had buck teeth,⿿ she told Webster Hall⿿s Baird Jones after a screening of ⿿Live!⿿ a mockumentary about an ambitious TV exec producing a reality show in which contestants play Russian roulette. ⿿I still have buck teeth, but then I was only like 70 pounds, so they really stood out. I never got braces because I am OK with my imperfections. In fact, I like to accentuate my buck teeth when I smile. I just have a big old smile. I never cover my mouth.⿿
