They’ve been done in movies, TV shows, stage plays, etc for ages, but character makeovers usually seem to involve not only looking different, but acting different too – ie. it’s not just about their physical appearance, but their attitude. Some pull it off, some don’t, and typically the characters learn a ‘lesson’ from the experience about how they’re better off ‘just being themselves’ (though not always). The first that which springs to mind is, naturally, Audrey Hepburn as Eliza Doolittle the movie My Fair Lady (1964).  After her^, I automatically think of Sandy (Olivia Newton-John) in the movie Grease (1978).  And I always remember this one because it amuses me (as it parodies the whole makeover thing in movies)... The miraculous makeover of Janey Briggs (Chyler Leigh) in Not Another Teen Movie from 2001.   |

By my count, Audrey appears to be the "makeover queen" so far, edging Bette out by one. Let's bring Bette even: Dead Ringer (1964) Dowdy Edith...  ...impersonates glam Margaret  While I'm at it, I'll go for the low-hanging fruit others left for the picking: Vertigo (1958) Kim Novak as Judy...  ...and in her "Madeline" makeover  |

...the first that came to mind is the transformation of Frederic March from Dr Jekyll to the ape like Mr Hyde. If I am not mistaken, it is the only film from the horror genre to win the Oscar for best picture...
