Madeleine Stowe has a bit of a mischievous streak.

When she was filming the 1992 romantic epic Last of the Mohicans, Stowe played a little trick on her hunky costar Daniel Day-Lewis.

"The man is so gorgeous, I could hardly wait to film our big love scene," recalls Stowe.

"The first time we filmed the scene, everything went perfect, but I told Daniel I just didn't feel I was any good in the scene.

"He believed me and let me do it two more times."

Stowe has just finished filming The General's Daughter, where she plays the love interest of John Travolta.

"John kisses almost as good as he dances," says Stowe. "For a girl who couldn't get a date in high school, I'm not doing too badly these days."

Stowe is happily married to actor Brian Ben Ben and the couple has a two-year-old daughter May Theodora.

"Brian is an exceptional father. Every spare moment he has, he takes May to the park."
