Michelle Pfeiffer and Claire Danes Do Stardust

Last night under the glittering lights of Los Angeles, a bevy of beautiful stars were in attendance for the premiere of Stardust, which opens across the country on August 10th. And in a town that prides itself on being at the cutting edge of beauty and youth, this movie highlighted the success that aging stars such as Michelle Pfeiffer have been able to achieve while bucking the trend.

The Dangerous Minds actress’ role encompasses an old witch preying on the youth to steal their inner power, with co-star Claire Danes playing the perfect foil. Transforming Pfeiffer from star to hag was a four hour process that included wigs, cosmetics, prosthetics, and fake liver spots.
