Rhinoplasty/Nose Job in the entertainment industry

The Los Angeles Examiner of May 5, 1930, noted:
"Having one's nose shaped to fit the talkies is the most popular thing in Hollywood now. Hollywood plastic surgeons agree that more than 2000 facial beautification operations have been performed among film players within the past few years."
Siblings Michael, Janet and La Toya Jackson's are among the most prominent rhinoplasties in show business with a dramatic reduction of nose size and change of shape.
It is rumored that like many starlets, a young Marilyn Monroe had work carried out on her nose before her first film roles at the advice of her mentor Johnny Hyde. It should be noted that there is some controversy as to whether Monroe ever had a rhinoplasty. Her friend and biograher James Haspiel has stated "Monroe never had a nose job" although according to him she did have some modifications made to her chin. If this is true then the differences in size that have been observed in various pictures may be explained by the length of the lens used by the photographer.
In Bollywood, actress Sridevi is reported to have performed a nose job.
