...stunt butt was needed for this model turned actress, whose sultry looks and good-natured smirk helped establish her as the gal-pal of choice to such aging screen heroes as Clint Eastwood (In the Line of Fire), Kevin Costner (Tin Cup) and Dustin Hoffman (Outbreak). "There's a sense of ease working with her because she doesn't take herself too seriously," says Mel Gibson, who co-starred with Russo in two Lethal Weapon sequels as well as the kidnapping drama Ransom.

His eyes sparkle with mischief, and his wisecracks crackle like spitfire as he schemes to bring the reluctant pair together. At his age, even he has more star quality and charisma than his dull son. His scenes are a welcome relief from the awkwardness of the lovebirds. Costner and Penn are both able to display more emotion and authenticity in their affection for the sarcastic patriarch.
