The quest for eternal youth has led many a celebrity to rely upon facial freezer Botox in a bid to banish the wrinkles that come with age.
But along with those wrinkles, and thanks to no real arbiter of genuine beauty in image-obsessed Hollywood, laughter lines and facial expressions have also been banished.
Except for when it comes to the rare exception to the rule, such as the naturally luminous Michelle Pfeiffer, 53.

Timeless beauty: Michelle Pfeiffer arrives to the Premiere Of Warner Bros. Pictures' New Year's Eve at Grauman's Chinese Theatre
Stunning in plum: Michelle dressed in an outfit that complemented both her beauty and her years
She had a head start, of course, being blessed with the kind of blue-eyed, blonde-haired symmetrical looks that many have attempted to ape.
But Pfieffer is a perennial flower, and unafraid to show the markers of her decades as she glides from May to December with grace.
And her appearance at the New Year's Eve premiere in Los Angeles yesterday, proved this in spades.
The actress, who stars as a bored and harassed secretary in the Garry Marshall directed follow up to Valentine's Day, chose an age appropriate plum dress but expressed her youthful side in purple platform heels.

Michelle's men: She looked fabulous with husband David E.Kelley and Zac Efron, without a hint of the cougar
Her make-up was soft, and her hair fell in flattering curled tendrils around her face, which showed her expression clearly.
She was accompanied by her husband, David E.Kelley, 55 , with whom she has been in committed relationship with since 1993.
But she also held her own as she posed with co-star Zac Efron, 24 , arguably looking all the more beautiful for not attempting to truss herself up like a younger woman - or a dreaded 'cougar.'
Still got it: Michelle in the 1983 hit movie, Scarface
Indeed, Efron revealedthat he was persuaded to appear in the film, thanks to the incandescent screen legend.
He told Access Hollywood: 'Michelle Pfeiffer left a voicemail on my phone and said, 'I want to do it, if you want to do it.'
'My heart exploded, and I was like, 'I'm in! I'm doing it!' I love her. She made my year.'
But he admitted that the couple's on-screen kiss 'wasn't very sexy,' thanks to him.
He said: 'Those things are best to do spontaneous. Have fun and be in the moment. I definitely thought about how it was going to go down. In my mind, the way I pictured it, it was going to be perfect, very romantic, very leading man.
'Then of course, as we went to film it, right when I went to dip her, a huge piece of confetti went straight into my mouth. I didn't want to finish the kiss like that, so I spit and went for it. That's actually in the movie.'
Michelle added: 'It wasn't very sexy, but it was cute.'
