...beginning of the film, Lee turns to Nola, an extra on a film set played by Winona Ryder, and asks her, "Where do I know you from?" The volatile Leonardo DiCaprio plays Brandon Darrow, the heartthrob movie actor who bursts into temper tantrums in his suite at The Stanhope Hotel. When he is escorted outside by a police officer, he is greeted by hordes of pubescent girls waving Titanic-sized glossies of the superstar.

Slyly, sadistically, Brandon alternately encourages and discourages him. Degradation is power's prerogative. And besides, it amuses...

Lest I forget, I also met my teen idol, Leonardo DiCaprio and was so giggly when he agreed to a photo that I bumbled embarrassingly as I tried to extract my camera from its case...
