Perhaps it was a pact with the devil or just impossibly advantageous genes, but MICHELLE PFEIFFER adamantly asserts that her enviable appearance owes nothing to plastic surgery. The clarification came after a comment made by PATRICIA HEATON, who happily cops to her own touch-ups. Heaton, the co-star of Everybody Loves Raymond, joked to David Letterman about an actress currently on the cover of a magazine who said she was afraid of Botox, a comment Heaton said amused her because she had spoken to that actress's plastic surgeon.
