I'm no child star, insists Kristin

Kristin Chenoweth has said she can never shop over the phone, because her high-pitched voice means she is usually mistaken for a child. The 40-year-old West Wing actress has given up trying to order gifts for friends and family, as operators never  believe she is an adult. Chenoweth, who plays Deputy Press Secretary Annabeth Schott in the US political drama, said: "I try to order flowers and they won't let me. "My credit card company told me a child was trying to use my card. It sucks. People call me and ask if my mom is home. It's frustrating."
