...Acquaintance (1943) was a movie about friendship, but that did not stop Co-Stars Bette Davis and Miriam Hopkins from feuding on the set. The cast of Rich and Famous, Director George Cukor's remake of the film, is truer to its spirit. Jacqueline Bisset, 36, who has the Davis role of a brainy novelist, and Candice Bergen, 34, who plays a housewife turned bestseller queen, are in fact acting like old acquaintances. "We never worked together before, but Candice is terrific," Bisset gushes. "We've become great friends." Of course, Davis and Hopkins probably did not have...
Since it began July 21, the strike has halted work on about 50 TV series and more than 20 films, including those being shot on location.

Bisset and Newman, during one interruption in the shooting, were caught by photographers making comparisons that were more odd than odious...

Bisset is cast as the world's greatest (and probably thinnest) pastry chef, while Segal plays her ex-husband, a fast-food maven whose philan dering broke up the marriage. It is not the actors' fault that they walk through the film with plastic smiles: the characters' debates over the merits of haute cui sine and Big Macs are as predictable as their final reconciliation. Besides, it strains credibility that this...
