Tess (Caption): Byrne Smith was the child of a busy female execustive, a sperm bank doner, and a turkey baster. When he was ten, she married. When he was seventeen, they argued--he interfered----And was knocked out of a fourth story hotel window.He hit the swimming pool.At that height...He--might as well--have hit a brick wall.

Tess (Caption): I'd been Byrne's physical therapist after some football injuries. I was straight with him. Tess: Bad damage to your legs...perhaps permanently. Multiple operations can repair your face-- Smith: Let's...begin.Tess (Caption): I never saw a patient work harder. But he'd never walk again without leg braces or a walker. He started Elephant-Man Hideous...after multiple plastic surgeries? Just...homely.
