  j. - Like Fanny Brice, are we cutting off our nose to spite our race?
When Franny Brice, a Jewish comedian, had a nose job in 1923, speculation about her motives inspired Dorothy Parker’s wisecrack that Brice had “cut off her nose to spite her race,” an accusation Brice vehemently denied.
Still, Haiken writes that her biographer acknowledged that Brice, “must have hoped that the operation would make her look less JewishÂ… Ethnicity was definitely not fashionable in the 1920s.”
The standard of beauty was Anglo-Saxon, and by replicating the accepted norm, plastic surgeons furthered the inferiority complex attached to “the Jewish nose,” also referred to in Haiken’s book as “the facial ‘stigmata.’” Through surgery, Jews could join the ranks of those deemed beautiful, while stifling the odds of discrimination.

 glbtq >> arts >> Porter, Cole
For nearly thirty years--from his first success with Paris (1928) until his last show, Silk Stockings (1955)--Porter was one of the most successful composer-lyricists on Broadway.
The greatest stars of his generation, and not a few of the next--among them, Franny Brice, Fred Astaire, Ethel Merman, Jimmy Durante, Clifton Webb, Gertrude Lawrence, Mary Martin, Sophie Tucker, Beatrice Lillie, Bert Lahr, and Gwen Verdon--scored personal triumphs in his plays and/or in the films subsequently made of many of them.
In addition, Porter wrote original scores for such Hollywood successes as The Pirate (1947), in which Gene Kelly and Judy Garland introduced "Be a Clown"; and High Society (1956), in which Bing Crosby crooned "True Love" to Grace Kelly.
