Most of the students in the UNLV program are over 50. One is retired home contractor Jack Winston, 68, who in his early 20s performed in off-Broadway plays. He gave up the actor's life when he married, had a family and needed a "real" job. After he retired and moved to Las Vegas, he started dabbling in local theater. Four years ago, he enrolled in classes at UNLV. "It's not only fun," he says, "but it's forcing me to use parts of myself that have lain dormant for years...
David Gordon Green's debut film, George Washington, was a painterly group portrait of preteen anguish. Now that America's most gifted young auteur is 27, he's graduated to kids in their late teens and early 20s but with the same desperate, comic, always human yearning to connect. Among an attractively aimless flock of singles, All the Real Girls focuses on two figures: Paul (Paul Schneider), 22, a Dennis Quaid look-alike with the rep of a ladies' man who "took 'em down and laughed about 'em on the way home," and Noel (Zooey Deschanel), a precocious virgin just...
...Ersin Akarlilar, Sait's U.S.-educated son who runs American operations. "That makes it harder on production, but it has helped us a lot in expanding abroad." That difference spawned a slogan: "Mavi Fits." Mavi now faces a big test as its first generation of aficionados enters their mid-20s. "You don't want to age with your customers," says Akarlilar Jr. "That's one of the worst things you can do, especially with jeans. It's always an issue for us." To avoid that, the company nurtures a young, multicultural design team, mostly in their 20s. Travel is crucial...
...Obituarians too easily write that one man's passing marks the death of an era, but it can be written in Al Hirschfeld's case that this is the death of two or three Broadway eras. He came to his calling - caricaturist to the stars - in the 20s, when Broadway was the face of American sophistication and sizzle. He was there when Gershwin presented "Porgy and Bess," when Tennessee Williams drove his "Streetcar," when "Guys and Dolls" and "Hair" and "Phantom" opened. And he was there as Broadway launched yet another season inattentive to the young generation, inadequate...
...Young Al still had high-art ideals, and with an uncle's largesse ($500, which for the mid-20s was very large indeed), he sailed for a year in Europe. With two other budding painters he rented a Paris flat; his part of the tab was $33 - a year. One day, after seeing a show with Sacha Guitry and Yvonne Printemps, Al scrawled a sketch of Guitry on a menu. A friend told him the sketch might be publishable if on white paper it were redrawn. In a trice, Hirschfeld produced a clean version. In a fource, the Herald Tribune...
