# Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer # Had a very shiny nose...# He actually had his nose sanded. It was like a precursor
to plastic surgery. But it was not successful,
he told me! # Used to laugh
and call him names... # I don't think there was anybody else
who really noticed that. Andy felt self-conscious about it. You know, he did do a painting
called Before and After of a woman's profile with the nose. It's very autobiographical. He was not comfortable in his skin. Some of his lovers said
that he actually had a nice body, but he didn't believe it.
What matters is he never believed that he could ever be
physically attractive. But he was made up
in many other ways, also physically, with the wig
