In the mid-'50s the newly anointed Mr. Universe--whose daughter Mariska tearily thanked her dad onstage last month when accepting an Emmy for her role on NBC's Law & Order: SVU--caught the eye of an aging Mae West, who hired him as one of eight loincloth-clad musclemen...

Actor Jackie Chan has been known to book the whole restaurant, and the guest book reads like a Hong Kong Who's Who. This is not simply a result of its intimate ambience (with room for no more than a dozen or so, an evening there...
