Ellen Barkin, 57, is TWICE Kate Bosworth's age and looks just as good at Deauville Film Festival... if not better

There are not many older actresses that would dare stand so close to a woman half her age and expect to come out faring better.
But 57-year-old Ellen Barkin stood proudly next to Kate Bosworth, 28, today knowing she could give the young star a run for her money.
The pair posed together at the Another Happy Day photo-call at the 37th Deauville Film Festival in France.

Friendly: The two actresses had a laugh together while the cameras clicked away as they promoted Another Happy Day

Shoulder to shoulder: Ellen may have a few more lines but she looks on great form for nearing 60

Ellen wore a purple three-quarter-length shift dress with matching shoes and simple accessories.
With her blonde hair in her trademark bob and minimal make-up, she did not look like a woman nearing her 60th year.
Meanwhile, Kate looked gorgeous in a white Chanel mini dress with jewelled accents that matched her peep-toe Christian Louboutin heels perfectly.

Of course, Ellen has a few lines around her eyes and her skin in not as dewy as Kate's but her body is outstanding and showed off her incredible womanly figure in the fitted dress.
Another Happy Day is about a wedding-party weekend that turns sour. Ellen plays the neurotic mother of the groom in the dysfunctional family drama-comedy.
The movie also stars Demi Moore and is due to hit theatres in the U.S. on November 4.

French affair: The ladies were joined by Sam Levinson who also stars in the film

Kate went public with her new man yesterday. She gazed adoringly into the eyes of the independent film maker Michael Polish who is currently directing her in the movie Big Sur.
The Superman Returns actress split from True Blood actor Alexander Skarsgard last month after two years together.
Their decision to split is said to have been 'very mutual' according to Us Magazine.
