Charla Nash reveals her new face on the Today Show:

On February 16, 2009, in Stamford, Connecticut, Charla Nash was viciously attacked by a 14 year old chimpanzee owned by Sandra Herold and kept by Ms. Herold in her home as a pet. Charla had been called by Ms. Herold to her home to try to assist in controlling the chimp, who was running loose outside the Herold residence. When Charla arrived and exited her vehicle, the chimpanzee immediately attacked her, and inflicted horrific injuries on Charla. Emergency personnel responded to Ms. Herold’s 911 call and the police were ultimately forced to shoot and kill the animal. Charla was brought to Stamford Hospital, where she endured 7 hours of lifesaving surgery. She was then transferred to the Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland, Ohio, where she remains.
