Maybe, while in her younger years, she made something out of glue and scissors in school and had an accident, you work it out.

While this is not common knowledge. the actress in question has a condition known as polydactyly, which affects about 1 in 500 Americans. She was born with six toes on her left foot and five on her right, but the childhood accident, which has variously been reported as a run-in with a chef's knife, having a brick dropped on the two smallest toes, crushing them and requiring surgery to remove them, and another one that I can't quite recall at the moment, but seemed to have something to do with fishing, left her with only three toes on the right foot.

Ouch! Unfortunately, polydactyly is all too often cast as one of those "weird novelty" conditions, and as a result is seldom taken seriously. My younger brother suffers from this condition. I will say that the "6 toes at birth" symptom is actually the mildest and least worrisome aspect of polydactyly. Apparently, the mechanism that causes the extra appendage doesn't stop at birth, and sufferers run the risk of acquiring extra appendages throughout their lifetime - and this risk increases after about age 40. The extra appendages have to be surgically removed from time to time (they don't stop at 6).

My brother is 32, and hasn't had any extra appendages since birth, but there are people he's been in contact with other sufferers who have made common practice of having extra appendages removed every few years or so. Very nasty condition indeed.
