At certain angles I can look quite glamorous and at other angles I look quite odd.”

Happily, she’s gradually become more comfortable with her unique appearance over time.

“I had bad skin and I was insecure when I came to Julliard.

I was always fighting my skin,” the Broadway star divulged in a 2019 interview withElle.

Given her past difficulties, the prolific performer understandably takes skincare seriously.

In fact,“The Big Bang Theory” star looks amazing without makeup.

She also worked with a speech therapist for several months.

Happily, her hard work paid off.

“I always say I got into that school on the skin of my teeth,” Baranski joked.
