From childhood, Brooklyn teenager Natalie Miller, with upper front teeth that are slightly bucked and a nose too large for her face, never has subscribed to her mother's determined belief that she will grow up to be pretty. Her best friend Betty is a knockout gorgeous blonde with boyfriends, which further depresses her. She finally is convinced by a lover that she is a worthwhile human being and not the ugly duckling she imagines herself to be. (Via Vision Entertainment)
