...having made teenage boys laugh by pretending to talk with your buttocks, this is an allegory to which you can surely relate. "To me, it's the saddest thing in the world to see a comedian at 60 doing the same character and the same act," says Jim Carrey, 36. His odd, moving performance in The Truman Show, an odd, moving film, should ensure that 24 years from now he will have more career opportunities than, say, Jeff Foxworthy...
...person, Carrey proves to be an open, reflective man. He exhibits little of the kinetic energy that got him to this career pass, although he does have an engaging way of slowly taking over the length of a couch with his rangy 6-ft. 2-in. body--not quite comfortably, not quite uncomfortably, half odalisque, half scrappy point guard diving for the ball. Unlike most people's, his face is more handsome the less animated it is; unlike most movie stars, then, he is better looking in person than onscreen (in another movie era, he could have been a male...
...TRUMAN SHOW (June 5). Truman Burbank is the only man on earth who doesn't know he's the star of a popular 24-hour soap opera.

The next Wednesday, Holly was back in the arms of the Other Man--the writer-director whose charms are widely believed to have wooed her away...
...list price so no one could say she got a special deal. It's harder still for a woman who has never been a favorite in Clinton's White House, and not just because she has a personal manner so impassive it makes Al Gore look like Jim Carrey. From her first months in the Administration, when she took responsibility for the tragedy at Waco, Texas, that her boss seemed to dodge, Clinton loyalists have complained that Reno had a way of burnishing her own reputation at the expense of the President's. One can imagine what their mood...
