Debunking the LA Tina Fey Scar Myth...
One occasionally-offered explanation of the scar is that Tina received it as a young adult while living in Los Angeles.
The story goes that Tina was dating a guy in an up and coming Los Angeles rock band and that (depending upon who you ask) the scar came about as the result of an accident or altercation.
Although an interesting theory, and one you can find bandied about with the usual "I know a guy who knew Tina when..." urban legend lead-in, there is no evidence to suggest that the Tina Fey scar happened in the City of Angels.
The one comment we have from Tina, in fact, belies this completely. She refers to it as a childhood incident. Unless Tina Fey is lying to us, there is no way the scar came about while she partied with would be rock stars in Tinseltown.
The explanation is a non-starter.
