UGLY

Inspired by true events BASED ON A TRUE STORY: UGLY follows the real-life battle of Mary Ann Bevan. After developing acromegaly, a disorder that results in the disfiguring growth of the human body, this newly widowed mother of four must accept work at the only place willing to take her – the circus. Now as the newly labeled, “The Ugliest Woman in the World”, Mary Ann must struggle with her self-worth, poor working conditions, and endless cruelty while navigating her children toward a better life through a society that only sees her as ugly.
