Despite her tender age, dewy appearance, lack of familiarity with one of the century's greatest directors and the mother-hen protectiveness of her agent and publicist, who cluck around her worrying about what the actress, who is eight months' pregnant, will wear to the film's New York premiere, it is clear that Morton is not some frail newcomer.
