Tina Fey -- So That's Where the Scar's From

Posted Dec 1st 2008 5:29AM by TMZ Staff

Tina Fey is finally talking about where that scar on her cheek came from -- and it's anything but funny.

She's never told anyone how she got it, but in Vanity Fair, Fey and hubby Jeff Richmond say it was the result of a "mystery slashing incident" which happened when she was five. "It was in, like the front yard of her house, and somebody just came up, and she just thought somebody marked her with a pen."

"It's impossible to talk about it without somehow seemingly exploiting it," says Fey.

3. I have always thought that the scar is so nearly unnoticeable, it is just another interesting feature of a lovely face. I am sorry she suffered such a vicious attack as a child. I wonder if the criminal was ever identified...

5. I am not buying the ridiculous story! I mean who walks up to a 5 year old child and slashes their face?!? Odd, very odd.

6. This story is true. I know it to be fact, however, I don't know why Tina chose to share this story. She did and that's her business. All you freaks need to calm the hell down and stop hating on her or making jokes. Tina is a great girl.

7. I love Tina and always thought she wore the scar well. That had to be a horrifying incident that scarred her emotionally as well. I drowned when I was 4 and a paramedic passing by on the beach brought me back to life. I dont go in water above my waist ever. I can't imagine what that did to her.

8. Sarah Palin should've went on SNL with a HUGE fake scar on her face, so Tina Fey impression of her was a little more believable....

11. It makes sense the scar is so thin and hardly noticable, almost like a dimple. What sort of coward runs up and does it to a 5 yr old though? ... maybe another kid?

12. 11 you have to be kidding. that scar is like a truck coming at you the only thing you can do is look away. A bag might help.

13. 13 come out of the dream world. Tina Fey can only make it by pretending to be famous people. She brings nothing of her own. She is a tired old SNL has been. SNL will go like MadTV over and out. History will not remember Tina Fey.

15. Tina Fey is a writer first & foremost. Not one haterade consuming person here could even attempt to aspire to be as entertaining (&/or rich). Her scar is a story & whether this is the actual story is irrelevant. It doesn't change anything she has done or will do. I find the scar sexy whether a cloaked stranger stabbed her as a five year old or if her face was caught in a zipper during a carpet munching incident.
