...actors--Clint Eastwood and Meryl Streep--may be recognized as Oscar-caliber performers, but they are often far from the favorites of the average ticket-buyer...

The speech was "a '90s form of McCarthyism,'' said Oliver Stone, whose Natural Born Killers was on Dole's hit list of objectionable films. "I don't think the public is that stupid,'' said Clint Eastwood.
