"Scott Thomas is mesmerisingly beautiful, but she refers to herself as an 'ageing actress' and keeps saying, 'I'm terribly old' or, 'I'm positively ancient.' In fact, being ancient might make things slightly easier, for she adds, 'I'm sort of, as the French would say, 'stuck between two chairs', because I'm no longer 40 and sort of a seductress, and I'm not yet a granny.' She got a terrible shock a few years ago when a close-up portrait taken for this newspaper was reprinted in a glossy magazine, without being digitally retouched. 'It was a really great picture, and looked fine on a grainy piece of paper in black-and-white,' she says now. 'But on the gloss of a magazine cover, without being retouched, it was the most terrifying thing. It really brought home to me how the images of women we see are so manipulated.' Accustomed these days to seeing faces digitally perfected, anyone who saw the magazine would, she groans, have thought: 'My God, Kristin Scott Thomas, she's so ancient!'
