Tina Fey's husband is talking about something the "30 Rock" actress would rather not discuss: the scar on her left cheek.

In an interview in Vanity Fair, Jeff Richmond says a stranger slashed Fey's face when she was 5 years old. He says the incident occurred in the front yard of her house.

Says Richmond: "That scar was fascinating to me. This is somebody who, no matter what it was, has gone through something. And I think it really informs the way she thinks about her life."

Fey says talking about the attack would seem like exploiting it.

Says Fey: "It's really almost like I'm able to forget about it, until I was on-camera, and it became a thing of `Oh, I guess we should use this side' or whatever. Everybody's got a better side."

Interesting article. I've never noticed it until now.

Wow. What a terrible way to get a scar.

Harrison Ford got the scar on his chin because he hit a tree on Laguna Canyon Road. This would have been in the 60s I think and he lived in Laguna Beach at the time. That tree might not be there anymore. Depending on the stretch of Laguna Canyon Road that he was on, they have since reconfigured it to be less dangerous.

I saw this article too. It was quite interesting.

I've noticed the scar a few times, but not ALL the time. I didn't know if it was just the light in certain situations or what.

I remember YEARS ago she was asked about it and always said it was a personal issue she didn't want to talk about. I hope hubby got the "ok" to spill the beans or else she's gonna go all Sarah Palin on his arse
