: By LOUIS B. HOBSON -- Sun Media
:  HOLLYWOOD -- Madeleine Stowe would like to set the record straight about her famous embraces with Daniel Day-Lewis in The Last of the Mohicans.

: "I did ask to do one of our kissing scenes a second time, but it was not because I was infatuated with Daniel and that he was such a great kisser. It was because I didn't think our first take had worked and Daniel agreed," says Stowe, who stars opposite Gary Sinise in the holiday science fiction thriller Imposter.

: Day-Lewis has earned a reputation for immersing himself so deeply in a role that he needs to take at least a year off between projects to recuperate.

: "That's a myth," says Stowe. "Daniel simply wants to live
: his life as fully as possible and making movies back-to-back doesn't allow for that. It has nothing to do with affectation or madness.

: "He feels so drained after a film because he puts so much into his performances. He told me to take time off after The Last of the Mohicans, but I explained to him that's not how American actors work. We don't want gaps. We want to keep working."

: Stowe says director Terry Gilliam wanted Day-Lewis to play the Brad Pitt role in Twelve Monkeys, but the actor wouldn't return any of his calls.

: "Terry asked me to intervene and get Daniel to read the script, but Daniel explained he wasn't reading anything for at least a year."

: Stowe says Pitt turned out to be "as detailed and dedicated an actor as Daniel is. I admire Brad because he brings so much to his films, both on the set and on the screen."
