Beautiful: 49-year-old Michelle Pfeiffer

"Michelle wanted to do as much of her own work as possible," says my on-set mole.

"She's proud of her figure. But she did ask for Kya Garwood, her favourite body double, to stand in for her in a scene where she disrobes.

"Kya also stood in for Michelle on her last movie, I Could Never Be Your Woman."

I'm assured that in the rest of her scenes in Stardust, in which she plays a witch, Ms Pfeiffer reveals her own body (which, unlike those of many of her contemporaries, is untouched by the surgeon's knife).
