...thrown over by a guy and has a vision of her as a scared, lost toddler. As in the original, Family Affair has wealthy Manhattan bachelor Uncle Bill (Gary Cole) taking in his brother's orphaned kids, who are such old-fashioned wide-eyed waifs, it's as if Bart Simpson had never been drawn...
...continued to spin gold out of what she calls "female empowerment films" such as The First Wives Club and Double Jeopardy. She has a stern but maternal demeanor in the office.

GOODMAN: There was a defined Jewish community there, but we were anxious to blend in - which is why Jews gave their children good English names like Henry. I did my first musical at the age of 16, and there were lots of different communities in it. All those influences were just as important as studying Stanislavsky at RADA [Royal Academy of Dramatic...
