Tina Fey’s husband Jeff Richmond talks about Fey’s scar in the new Vanity Fair. Tina Fey’s scar has never been explained until now.

Richmond tells the publication of the event at age 5 that resulted in Fey’s facial scar:

“It was in, like, the front yard of her house, and some body just came up, and she just thought somebody marked her with a pen”

Continues Richmond: “That scar was fascinating to me. This is somebody who, no matter what it was, has gone through something. And I think it really informs the way she thinks about her life.”

Fey has avoided discussing it: “It’s impossible to talk about it without somehow seemingly exploiting it.”

She’s so talented, and so beautiful .. and you really can’t even notice it in the first place. Pick up the issue now on newsstands.
