Tina Fey has finally revealed how she got the unique scar on her face, and it's a sad story.

When she was five years old, Tina was evidently playing in her front yard when she became the victim of a random violent slashing.

"It was in, like, the front yard of her house, and somebody who just came up, and she just thought somebody marked her with a pen," Fey's husband, Jeff Richmond, says in an interview with Vanity Fair.

Richmond, however, seems very fond of Tina's signature mark.

"That scar was fascinating to me," Richmond says. "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 she hasn't really address this in the past, because "it's impossible to talk about it without somehow seemingly exploiting it and glorifying it."

"It's really almost like I'm kind of 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." She added: "Everybody's got a better side."

I think it adds character myself!
