“Not a big deal, but I didn’t want to make a scene. One of the gentlemen I had been working with came over and I said, ‘Hey can you look at the nose? I don’t have a bridge on the nose on the plaque. It's been a good laugh," she said.

Kimmel jokingly asked Chastain, "Do you know who this artist is and why he hates you?"

Chastain said she doesn't know who made the plaque and that the likeness looked like actor Mickey Rooney.

The Bay Area Sports Hall of Fame in San Francisco says they will redo the plaque.
