...cruised past the carnage from worst to first. "I was like, 'Hang on a minute, I think I just won,'" Bradbury told Time. "I'm probably the luckiest gold medalist in the world." Luck had nothing to do with Australia's second unexpected gold, won two days later by aerialist Alisa Camplin, 27.

In Mary Lambert's gorgeous, complex ghost story Siesta, Barkin is already dead, but that cannot stop her from a convulsive rendezvous with the aerialist of her dreams. Or from looking sensational in a stop-light red dress and a body sculpted by daily workouts. These two films, though, were cult objects for cinephiles and discriminating voyeurs. It took Sea of Love, which earned $40 million in its four weeks, to make her a pricey Hollywood...
