After the final curtain call and standing ovation, the assistant director rushed Weil, still in full costume and stage makeup, to University Health Services, where doctors washed away his foundation and blush to clean the "Y-shaped laceration" above his left eyebrow.

Perhaps Stein's oddest avocation is being a financial guru to hookers. "Aside from practicing pimps, nobody knows as many call girls as I do," he says. It began when Stein was a columnist for the Journal, spending his afternoons by the pool in his West Hollywood apartment building, which was populated by call girls.
