Your character was safe from the painful experiences like Nimoy had with his ears, but how important was Freddie Phillips role in the first series?

Well, Fred did my makeup for a long time. Fred was a delightful man, a charming man who had wonderful stories to tell, just wonderful stories, because he had started doing � applying makeup when he was 15 or 16 and one of the first jobs was doing body make up for a group of naked ladies who came out of the water, it may have been in the ocean or something. It was really quite extraordinary and I thought he must really write a book, but he was a man of considerable honour and the stories that he could tell which certainly would have rocked Hollywood he chose to keep private.
