She is also a brand ambassador for L’Oréal, which brings the inevitable question, about ageing as an actress in the public eye. ‘There’s nothing wrong with taking care of yourself – being healthy and getting enough rest and eating well – but I’m not going to be, or look, any less 55 than I am,’ she shrugs. ‘I will say to my friends, “For crying out loud, put on a hat, wear some sunscreen!” But I wouldn’t tell them to get a facelift.’
A great role model. Meanwhile Gaga got a face lift at 29.
