I seem to remember that Michael Douglas underwent a full face lift whilst courting Catherine Z-J so even he could see the difference. And was she depressed when she started going out with him or was it the realisation that with a failing career, and the carrot of the how ever much she gets for every year of the marriage, he is her best bet for a very cushy life, but she is going to be looking at the ever more wizened creature for the foreseeable future? That would be enough to depress me!
A big franchise would be great for S. with lots of action and suaveness - maybe Dante could get a spin-off series, like an older Bond but without the limitations and 'morality' of MI5/6, or the gadgets; just the reliance on his skills, contacts and deviousness. Smooth as an otters inside pocket that man!
