It was not revealed when she had it removed, but Parker was first spotted without her signature mole on her chin in July 2008 when she attended a baseball game in New York. Her publicist originally denied that the actress had undergone cosmetic surgery.

But during the 44-year-old star's appearance on Letterman's show on Monday, she admitted to having the mole removed by a plastic surgeon brother-in-law.

When asked why she did it, she replied, "I just didn't care for it. And I had six free days when I can get bloody and scabbed and no one would care. And honestly, I didn't think a thing about it. And then apparently, it turned into a mole-gate."

Parker said she had a momentary regret, saying, "A woman came up to me on the beach really upset and she said, 'I'm so sorry I didn't know why you did that. That was your signature.' I said, 'my mole was my signature? Isn't my brain my signature?'"

"And for about the next fifteen minutes I couldn't even hear anything anybody was saying to me because all I could think was 'I made a terrible mistake. 'Can you put it back on?'"
