...less stirred by the revival that has received the most resounding critical huzzahs of the fall, the London Royal Court theatre's production of Chekhov's The Seagull. Kristin Scott Thomas is the biggest star name in this one, and as Arkadina, the aging actress around whom revolves a typically Chekhovian slice of unhappy provincial life, she's just fine, if somewhat less the diva than I imagine Arkadina on the page.

...Green, who played Vesper in Casino. But Kurylenko, a lovely Russian-Ukrainian hybrid who is oddly duskied up to look vaguely Latina, is a whiz at raising Quantum's temperature and gradually luring Bond out of his stolid shell.

In a 2005 interview, Damiano described himself as "just a nice guy, which is why I think I did pretty well. I mean, I'd meet an actress and have to say, 'Sit down, take your clothes off - I'm going to ask you to do some nasty things.' You have to be pretty nice." On his 80th birthday, adult-film stars flew in from around the country to surprise their old friend...
