...but WAIT! <g>

Direct from Hollywood - here is how the legend goes of the old-fashioned 
tweak to this (James Wong Howe perhaps?): you take a cigarette (you smoke, 
don't you? it's the 40's) and burn a hole smack in the middle of the stretched 
hose. Now you can have Garbo's eyes sharp but all else glowing.  

You _could_ do it with a layer mask, but it  just wouldn't be the same.... <g>
