After four starring roles, Yeoh wed Dickson Poon, her patron at D&B Films, and, at 25, retired from acting. The marriage ended four years later, and Chan quickly offered her a part as his kick-butt co-star in Super Cop. In some later roles she got to play ultra-glam goddesses, her long hair caressed by a brisk wind even when she's indoors. Typically, though, she was cast as the superwoman who not only fights like a man but also is mistaken for one. "I don't treat myself like a woman," she tells a suitor...
...Kilmer did the George Lucas-Ron Howard fantasy Willow, where he met the English beauty Joanne Whalley. They were married for seven years, producing two children; they split in 1995. Kilmer subsequently dated Cindy Crawford and recently had to dodge rumors of a tryst with his Saint co-star, Elisabeth Shue. Noyce says that was just Val the perfectionist, obsessed with highlighting the film's romantic glow. "He worked so minutely on this relationship that some crew members said they were having an affair," says Noyce. "I don't believe that was true, but they spent a lot of time...
...lowlifes. In Greg Mottola's stodgy The Daytrippers she's the younger daughter of a Long Island, New York, family given to public declarations of emotional frailty. And in Christopher Guest's haphazardly delightful Waiting for Guffman she's a fast-food counter girl who gets the chance to co-star in a tacky musical tribute to Blaine, Missouri. Posey graces so many low-budget films that she has called herself "that indie tramp." An apter title would be Queen of the Indies...
...most ways The Preacher's Wife is as traditional a Christmas confection as fossilized fruitcake. It has a big budget, big stars and a heartwarming rendition of Joy to the World. The songs are sung by diva Whitney Houston, who plays the wife of a disillusioned minister. Her co-star, Denzel Washington, is a sexy angel who wants to save Houston's neighborhood church as well as her troubled marriage. On paper, the movie looks as if it has all the ingredients for a box-office slam dunk. But there's one thing missing: white people...
...Adams (a duet with Barbra) and Richard Marx, with just one lush solo turn by Streisand. She's too good to be on the same CD, or in the same ZIP code, as Adams and Marx. On Evita (out now), Madonna finds herself a classier singing partner: her film co-star Antonio Banderas. His vocals have a gutsy charisma; as for Madonna, she sounds earnest if a bit thin. Still, the first single, You Must Love Me, is a winner, and the real test of Madonna's singing will be how it comes across on the silver screen...
