Beckinsale: 'Star's Spoiled By Celebrity Handlers'

Kate Beckinsale insists that young actresses starting out today have a much easier time than she did, because they all have a team of stylists and publicists helping them. The UNDERWORLD star claims even a few years ago, stars had to do everything for themselves and weren't pampered by a team of handlers. She explains, "I look at these girls now, Keira Knightley and LINDSAY LOHAN - and it's terrifying. "When I started in England, nobody knew what a stylist or a publicist was. "You turned up looking generally like s**t. You'd done your own make-up. You're 19, so it's bound to be awful. "I was grabbing flowers off the breakfast tray and putting them in my hair, saying, 'Does this look nice?' before my premiere at Cannes. "That's really, truly what it was."
