Judy Gold is a fearless stand-up comedian, self-proclaimed "big mouth" and actress who can play serious roles or farce, as she did last year in the off-Broadway hit, Clinton The Musical, in which she was cast as Eleanor Roosevelt and Linda Tripp. She’s also been what she calls “a perennial guest star/fill-in” on such shows as 30 Rock, 2 Broke Girls, Ugly Betty, and Sex and the City. As the writer and producer of The Rosie O’Donnell Show, she won two Daytime Emmy Awards.

In our interview with her for Take My Nose. . .Please!  Judy talks about the benefits and draw-backs of her own mixed-blessing appearance trait– being six-feet tall. She explained why she did nothing about her jiggly arms. “Why is it bad,” she asked, “to not look like everyone else?”

In the film she bemoans the arbitrary beauty standards which can limit access to some of the best roles and jobs.  But one thing she doesn't admit easily is her undereye-lift.  She looks on her former hereditary eye bags as a physical deformity and the surgery to remove them as a necessity, rationalizing that there was no shame in having the surgery.   She isn't happy when I point out the double standard, saying, "You had cosmetic surgery," a description perceived by many as vain and frivolous--and worse-- a kind of beauty cheating.  Viewers will have to decide for themselves which it is.
