Hello:

Any words for describing Candice Bergen's particular nose shape?

Not I don't like it:-)

Thanks.

Whenever in doubt, use "retroussée," incorporated into
English years ago and generally flattering. . .

It makes me think of a neatly packaged hernia.

An Englishman goes to France. He dines at the Tour d'Argent. He is about
to taste the soup when he sees a fly in his bowl. He calls the waiter
over.

³Oui Monsieur?²

³Regardez dans ma soupe. Le mouche.²

The waiter barely glances at the bowl, then looks down his nose at the
Englishman.

³Ce n'est pas le mouche. C'est LA mouche.²

³My God! You must have VERY good eyesight.²
