American teen star Abigail Breslin, 13, recently debuted in the challenging role of an on-stage Helen Keller in New York.

The star of Little Miss Sunshine and My Sister’s Keeper was in a position to compare work on the big screen to that on the stage. She said: “The difference between doing film and doing Broadway is, obviously, in film you can get as many takes as you need. In this, you don’t. You get one take every night – that’s it.”

Breslin appears in the New York Broadway revival of The Miracle Worker with Alison Pill, Matthew Modine, Jennifer Morrison and Elizabeth Franz. The play is having preview runs and opens at Manhattan’s Circle In The Square Theatre on Wednesday.

She added: “We really just go through a lot of emotions in this play, and I really just think that it has a million different ‘colours’ to it.”

Sex and the City star Kim Cattrall has said she hates having her appearance judged by her age.

Cattrall, 53, said she is happy with her looks but said she gets fed up with people telling her she looks good for her age.

She said: “But this adage ‘She looks good for her age’… Why can’t I just ‘look good’?”

Cattrall added that she has also not given in to plastic surgery like other actresses have.

She said: “I don’t think: ‘Not for me’. I just don’t know yet.”

Cattrall is currently appearing opposite Matthew Macfadyen in the West End show of Noel Coward’s Private Lives.

She said: “People keep asking: ‘How do you feel about your leading man being so much younger?’ I think: ‘You would not be asking that question if it was the other way around and Matthew was in his 50s.’”
