\\\"Slappy Squirrel from Animaniacs is an aversion of this. The gag behind Slappy isn\\\'t really that she\\\'s a fallen starlet seeking to regain her fame — it\\\'s that she\\\'s a retired slapstick comedy star whose old antagonists don\\\'t seem to have let go as well as she has, only now, she\\\'s not only smarter than her opponents, she\\\'s old, grumpy, sarcastic and arthritic (think of an aged, vindictive Bugs Bunny), so not only is great harm befalling her geriatric rivals, it\\\'s gotten easier with practice and she enjoys it more.\\\"

Even in \\\'\\\'No Face Like Home\\\'\\\', Slappy doesn\\\'t want to get back on top to be a star again to relive past glories. She thinks the modern stars \\\'\\\'stink\\\'\\\' (and the sample we see does), and wants to get back in the game to beat them at it. The plastic surgery was just a means to an end, due to the \\\'youth appeal\\\' of Hollywood.
