"(Patricia Arquette and I did an episode called "Second Opinion") a couple years ago where we had to put on prosthetic makeup. It took six hours to get ready for these scenes where we were supposed to be 25 years older, and one of our daughters was supposedly dying. And I show up on the set, and the woman's not wearing any of her old-age makeup. I was like, 'What happened to the whole thing with 25 years older and all this stuff?' And she was like, 'Oh, it just didn't look too good. It looked too strong. It looked too makeup-y, so I told them not to (apply) the prosthetic.' Well, how come nobody told me about this? So I ended up having to spend the whole day shooting, looking like an octogenarian, looking like Strom Thurmond. And she was all dewy-eyed like Candice Bergen with a few little crow's feet on the side of her face. I had jowls and sagging chins. Oh, I was furious at her."

Patricia Arquette's Allison DuBois has visions and sees dead people in "Medium," Glenn Gordon Caron's eerie NBC murder/mystery series. Arquette discusses her directorial debut and Emmy-winning performance as DuBois, a real-life, self-proclaimed medium. (Video Behind the cut; Hulu.com vids tend to slow up a page's loading process. At least for me anyhow).
