...left to play in Aussie soaps. Moving to California in the mid-'90s didn't land Watts starring roles, unless you count Children of the Corn IV and some TV shows. One of these was dumped by the network, and released to theaters as a movie: Mulholland Dr. ABC's rejection of the David Lynch pilot proved to be Watts' promotion from the back row. Playing a starstruck, recklessly curious blond, she led viewers into thinking they could trust her, then pulled a spectacular double cross. That was the flash moment, at the film's nightmare climax, that revealed...
...villainess Lucy Liu did when she collapsed bloodily into the snow in its climax. Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code, involving a theory that Mary Magdalene may have been Jesus' wife and the mother of his child, intrigued readers and sold millions of copies, but it was ABC News that really took religious fire when it raised the same question in a prime-time special.

After $18,000 worth of liposuction procedures, brow and eye lifts, Botox injections and dental work, Stacey went home to Nebraska from Hollywood an astonishing 35 lbs. lighter and looking like a newly minted pop star.

...that was his pixie-dust era. ABC, which Eisner bought for $19 billion in 1996, swung from earning $1 billion in operating income in 2000 to losing $36 million last year. Eisner blew at least $1.6 billion on Internet ventures, including the Go.com portal, and in 2001 he paid $5.2 billion for the Fox Family Channel (considered a high sum), which was renamed ABC Family and proceeded to slump in the ratings. None of this has been lost on investors: Disney stock wobbles at around $22 a share, half the heights it reached...
Though he appeared on CBS and ABC as a commentator while he was Washington bureau chief for the San Francisco Examiner, Matthews made the jump to TV host amidst the cable news explosion of the mid-1990s. He joined the then-seven-year-old CNBC in 1995, while Fox News and MSNBC were still in development...
