Whoopi and Winona, Madonna and Barbra, Chevy and Sly. Aside from having idiosyncratic first names, these stars all share something else: over the past seven months, they've walked away from the Creative Artists Agency, once the supreme force in Hollywood dealmaking. But that was then--then being the 1980s to the mid-'90s. Since last fall, more than two dozen clients have ankled, as the trade papers would put it, joined just last week by Liam Neeson and Ben Stiller...

ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER (Sunset Boulevard) intends to stage his version of the old classic. To the relief of many, however, he will use Harold Arlen's songs from...
