Actress Kyra Sedgwick says her one experience with Botox was terrifying, but she’s doesn’t rule out whatever cosmetic procedures are needed to keep her looking good.

“I’m in a business where my face is really important …. What is really the difference between putting makeup on and having stuff shot into your face?” she told Entertainment Weekly last year. “I’m a big believer in ‘whatever makes you feel better.’ ”

Sedgwick, 42, stars in “The Closer,” which will begin its fourth season Monday on TNT. Of Botox, she said in an interview with W magazine:

“I tried it once and let me tell you, it’s freaking frightening. It was like: Oh my God, I can’t move my forehead, and it really scared … me. But it’s hard, because everyone has it, so on film sets it’s like,” in a horrified voice, ‘You have lines in your forehead! Oh, God. Well, okay. We’ll have to shoot around it.’ ”

“I don’t look down on people who have plastic surgery, but I’m taking things one day at a time,” she said.

This month she told a Hollywood Reporter panel of actresses:

“America is so obsessed with youth. You go to Europe, and it’s not that way at all. As actresses, we’re forced to simply accept that and adjust. We are the age we are. And the irony, of course, is that unquestionably every actor gets better as he or she gets older.”She added, “I had an agent who told me I was I too old at 28.”
