...like spinach, and it turned a pencil-neck into a Popeye. Davis rolled to a 58%-to-38% victory last year and, while he can't be more than 140 lbs., he took the landslide as a mandate and has been throwing his weight around ever since. When actor Arnold Schwarzenegger recently told Talk magazine he could be interested in running for Governor in three years, Davis' communications director, Phil Trounstine, said, "That's fine. The Governor is thinking about starring in Terminator...
...only realized this year what a luxury it is not to get overexposed," says LIEV SCHREIBER. Rather than practicing false humility, the actor is acknowledging how intense media attention can hobble a career. As an example, he cites Orson Welles, whom he portrays in HBO's upcoming RKO 281, the story of the making of Citizen Kane. "When this movie was released," he says, "no one saw it because William Randolph Hearst hated it. So the press killed it." Schreiber has been drawing increased scrutiny as he rehearses Hamlet on Broadway and reprises his Scream role in December. And wary...
...What to Look For: Director Christian Roulleau is a notorious scene-stealer--as an actor, that is. After stellar performances in last year's City of Angels and the Hasty Pudding musical (he stole the show playing a man, no less!), he finds himself in the director's chair, helming a play driven by its actor interpretation.

His first professional stage appearance, on Broadway at the age of 21, earned Fonda rave reviews and several critics' awards. Since then his credits have included the great anti-establishment "road film" Easy Rider (produced, co-scripted and starring Fonda, earning him an Oscar nomination for Best Original Screenplay) and 1997's Ulee's Gold (for which Fonda received a Golden Globe, the New York Film Critics Award and the Oscar nomination for Best Actor...
...disparate locations (his barren hotel room, her cozy residence, a classy restaurant, a low lit dock). Such scenes are more accurate depictions of Wilson's mentality and fantasies than his interactions with others or even reality itself. Into these prisms of then and now, Soderbergh splices actual footage of actor Stamp in his role as a young British thief in 1967's Poor Cow. Though these montages seem disorienting and self-conscious at first, such sequences gradually reveal the cyclical nature of Wilson's life and the truth behind Jenny's death...
