MICHELLE PFEIFFER as the evil witch Lamia in 'Stardust'

The Witches of Eastwick star was almost blown off the edge of the Cuillin Mountains in Skye, Scotland after Vaghn insisted continuing the shoot despite the fierce weather.

She says, "They literally had to anchor me in case I fell off the edge of the cliff. And the director was brutal - he just kept filming.

"I thought I was being jabbed in the side by my make-up artist with her powder brush - but it turned out to be my first experience of good, hard Scottish hail.

"The weather was fierce but, if we'd waited a month, I'm told that Scotland has little bugs that bite us - you call them midges.

"So it was a choice between being hailed on or eaten alive. But one of the gifts of the job is that you go places you wouldn't otherwise get to visit."
