Below you will find a list of actors, actresses and musicians with
acne or who have acne scars.


Drew Barrymore 

?Yet Drew has not been alone in her propensity to pimples. Several of
her film co-stars have also had complexion issues.?

Chris O'Donnell 

?In this "grunge" drama, set in Seattle, Drew and perpetual good boy
Chris O'Donnell portray plaid wearing teen lovers. Her character is
borderline insane, her mental instability unintentionally reinforced
by Drew's unstable complexion throughout the film. Broken out on the
cheeks and chin, our sympathy for her is heightened, as is the
question: are there enough dermatologists in the Pacific Northwest?
In a bold show of support, O'Donnell also shows inflamed acne lesions on his chin.?

Cameron Diaz
Bill Murray

"Charlie's Angels was the ultimate acne conference. In addition to
Drew, acne sufferer Cameron Diaz starred, as did acne scarred comedian
Bill Murray.?

James Woods

?Veteran character actor James Woods has dramatic acne scars which
reinforce the rugged personalities of his characters.?

Dermatologic Drew: Barrymore gets a skin check

Cameron Diaz?s skin tends to break out in times of stress.

"Cameron's always been up front and honest about her condition? 
?Cameron Diaz almost had to skip her appearance at the Charlie's
Angels: Full Throttle premiere in London because film bosses thought
her acne might dominate photographs of the event, reports the Internet
Movie Database.?

Elle Girl

Jenny McCarthy had acne, according to her book:

"Jenny McCarthy is not only very down-to-earth, but she's witty,
hilarious, and quite frankly...normal! It was so refreshing to read
that she isn't perfect after all - that she had acne, and stretch
marks, and bad hair days, and bozo boyfriends."

Vail Reese M.D. provides a great deal of material about celebrities
with skin conditions such as acne, cysts, moles, sun damage, scars and
tattoos at his website skinema.com
http://itsb.ucsf.edu/~vcr/Actors.html


Elizabeth Hurley

?Another successful actress with facial lesions: Elizabeth Hurley.
While in glamour photos, makeup and lighting are used to convey a
clear complexion, a candid photo reveals acne scars on Hurley's
cheeks. Bravo that a woman with acne scars is super-modeling, and
starring and producing films. ?


Ray Liotta 
Dennis Farina 
Laurence Fishburne
 
?Speaking of acne scars: Liotta, Farina, Fishburne have not had their
careers hindered by them.?

John Malkovich

Actor John Malkovich is an example of active comedones (closed pores)
seen in the film "Mary Reilly."

Brad Pitt
http://itsb.ucsf.edu/~vcr/Actors9.html

Brad Pitt
Cameron Diaz
?Though not under the same changing hormonal forces as women, these
images of super hunk Brad Pitt show that men get acne too.?
http://itsb.ucsf.edu/~vcr/Freeze11.html


Jerry Garcia

?As the leader of The Grateful Dead, Jerry Garcia had a long bushy
beard. This photo from the late 1960's shows that under his beard,
Garcia had prominant acne scars. Many men with acne scars opt to grow
beards.?
http://itsb.ucsf.edu/~vcr/music.html


Janis Joplin

?Adult acne is common and treatable: 60's and 70's singer Janis Joplin
had very severe adult acne. There are several types of acne, all of
which respond to different treatments. One need not be depressed,
check in with your dermatologist today.?

Bryan Adams 

?Unfortunately, when acne is not aggressively treated, acne scars can
result. Successful rocker Bryan Adams shows examples of acne
scarring.?

Dermatology and Music 
http://itsb.ucsf.edu/~vcr/music2.html


Ricky Martin

?No one questions the catchiness of Latin pop sensation Ricky Martin's
songs. But images that show a clear complected Martin do not tell the
whole tale. Like many people, Martin has acne scars from severe
teenage acne.?


Ace Frehley of KISS 

?Another acne scarred musician is hard rocker Ace Frehley of KISS.
KISS is a well known for their costumes and makeup as for their music
and it is difficult to find images of Frehley without thick pancake
makeup.?
http://itsb.ucsf.edu/~vcr/music3.html


F. Murray Abraham

?Actor F. Murray Abraham is seen from the film "Amadeus" with acne
scars. Severe inflammatory acne can result in scarring.?
http://itsb.ucsf.edu/~vcr/Actors1.html#anchor1554373

Tommy Lee Jones ? acne scars
http://itsb.ucsf.edu/~vcr/FourAct.html#anchor4000

Jimmy Cagney ? acne scars
http://itsb.ucsf.edu/~vcr/ThreeAct.html#anchor9000

Joshua Jackson from ?Dawson's Creek" has closed pore acne 
http://itsb.ucsf.edu/~vcr/Actors12.html


Jet Li
Nicolas Cage
Sean Connery

?When thinking of acne scarred actors, the usual suspects include
Edward James Olmos, Tommy Lee Jones, and James Woods. But this
irregularity lies barely hidden on the cheeks of some of our planet's
greatest action stars. Nicolas Cage won an Oscar statuette and has
also garnered the I'll-take-any-action-movie-role-no-matter-how-silly
award for four years straight. Characterized by some as a cheeky star,
he shows characteristic cheek scars. Jet Li is a phenomenon throughout
the Asian movie world and is making chop socky strides in the US
market as well. Teen acne, rather than martial arts injuries, accounts
for his rugged appearance. Finally, none other than Sean Connery, the
original James Bond, shows pitted cheek scars, though not as bad as
one of the Bond villains. Connery often wears beards in movies, a
convenient way to conceal this troublesome defect.?
