How did Tina get her scar?

Appearently, Tina addressed this in a 2001 NY Times article. “She started as a co-anchor for Weekend Update with a cast member, Jimmy Fallon, last year, wearing her navy suit and trademark glasses. Her other trademark is a scar that runs along the left side of her face, although she won’t discuss it. “It’s a childhood injury that was kind of grim,” she said. “And it kind of bums my parents out for me to talk about it.” And so it goes. Or does it?

Tina Fey

So what’s the real story? A reliable source told someone that before her days on SNL, she was making the rounds on the Women’s Professional Lawn Dart Circuit (WPLD). While she never achieved the world fame of the top-ranked Rob “The Falcon” Finkelstein, she was able to break into the top 10 in the New Jersey Lawn Dart Association (NJLDA) in the early 1990s. A tragic event unfolded just before the 1992 mid-Atlantic tournament when Tonya Harding’s boyfriend jumped her outside the White Castle on Burlington Avenue in eastern Connecticut. The scar resulted from the ensuing scuffle and Tina decided to give up on her dream of becoming the world’s top-ranked female lawn dart hurler. Soon after, she settled for a gig on a late-night low-budget cable show.

As an aside, until writing this fascinating story, I had no idea Tina Fey even had a scar. And I sure can’t see it in the picture above. Also, I just made up all of the paragraph above. I think she’s pretty awesome. PSS, have any of you four readers out there ever heard of a free Kim Possible sex comic? This site still gets a lot of hits for people searching for that. I really don’t know why, she’s a cartoon.

  6. Hey, got this from wikipedia….

    Later, in an interview with Fey and (Husband) Richmond in the January 2009 issue of Vanity Fair, Richmond revealed the scar resulted from a slashing incident, which happened when she was five. Richmond said: “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.”[122] She has said she was reluctant to discuss the incident in part because “It’s impossible to talk about it without somehow seemingly exploiting it.”

  8. LOL ya’ll are cray. she got slashed as a kid in an alley behind her house. it’s in her book. besides, i didn’t even know about it till i read her book. not a big deal. and dude you do not know her family CLEARLY. k bye.

  9. Tina’s scar came from someone standing behind her with a knife asking her “why so serious?”
    She has gone to great lengths to not be serious ever again and has blossomed into one of the premiere comedy writers

  10. “During the spring semester of kindergarten, I was slashed in the face by a stranger in the alley behind my house. Don’t worry. I’m not going to lay out the grisly details for you like a sweeps episode of Dateline. I only bring it up to explain why I’m not going to talk about it.”

  11. I saw this all in a past life, when I was Gomer Gump. Tina was Allie Alley at the time. We were in Area 52.5 (everyone thought that was in New Mexico, but it’s in Utah) and a crescent shaped spacecraft hovered over us and air nozzles pushed out of the ground to blow us up into the spacecraft (this was before beam me up technology was perfected).
    The aliens were prototyping laser keratomy, so they didn’t know better and they held Tina’s (Allie) head upside down and the laser cut into the wrong location. Notice that Tina still wears glasses.

    Also, you can confirm this story with Elvis (Poi “Hal” Alloy at the time)

  12. thats quite right – thanks.
