One of the most famous nasute characters is Cyrano de Bergerac from the same titled play by Edmond Rostand.

When I was younger it was more common to see a person with a large nose, but after rhinoplasty started becoming more popular in the late 20th century and the cost was in range of more people, those with large noses seem to get them taken care of as soon as possible.
