Help! Quick! I need to find a transformation of bad lookng to good! Anyone can help!?

Question

The assignment is to find a modern day Eliza Doolittle whom is a character from the play Pygmalion and went from a dirty, lower class, slob, never took a bath, etc. and became a beautiful, sophisticated, well-dressed woman.
My task is to find two pictures on the internet showing two pictures which you think accurately portray a modern day equivalent of Eliza Doolittle. The first image should picture her in her original form, unpolished and unimproved. The second image should present her enhanced version.

I can't think of anyone! I don't think it has to be a celebrity! But ugh the only thing I can think of is Britany Spears and Lindsay Lohan but they transformed in the opposite direction!

Answer 1

Norma Jean aka Marilyn Monroe started out small town, brown haired girl.

Do some ancient history, research Mae West.

Or what about *Eeewww* Martha Stewart?

Answer 2

I certainly wouldn't call her dirty or a slob, but Celine Dion was a rather plain looking woman and was very poor growing up.

She's now one of the wealthiest, most glamorous women out there (and a genuinely sweet, generous woman to boot - I know dancers who work for her here in Vegas and they said she's just incredible - she's never lost sight of the fact that she was so poor growing up and truly appreciates everything she has now).

Well, I don't like her much, but when LeAnn Rimes first began her career she was horrendous. She has since then had one helluva makeover.
