Linzi's luck

Her musical performance at Hugh Hefner's recent 80th birthday party in Cannes was said to be the icing on his birthday cake. But I hear that violinist Linzi Stoppard is making other creative inroads.

The daughter-in-law of playwright Tom Stoppard has secured her first role on the silver screen. "I met the director Stephen L'Heureux after I performed at Hugh's party and he offered me a cameo role in his next film," she tells me.

"I'm excited, as he's worked on some big films. He asked if I'd ever tried acting; I said no, but that I'd love to give it a go, and he offered me a part. It looks as if I'll be filmed playing the violin in a club scene."
