This image shows Carole Lombard's scar from a horrific auto accident when she was 17. It caused significant damage to her cheek, lip and eye and she nearly died. Thanks to the relatively new procedure of plastic surgery, Carole’s appearance, and career, were saved, though a scar on her left cheek remained noticeable without makeup.
