Once his National Liberty Corp. went mainstream, its TV ads, featuring Art Linkletter and a prominently displayed toll-free number, pioneered direct marketing. DeMoss gave nearly half his salary to his missionary foundation. When he died on a tennis court at age 53, he added $200 million more. Says Campolo: "He kept his commitment from beyond the grave...

Just as a lot of actors think they can direct, a lot of parents think their two-year-olds can splatter paint as well as Jackson Pollock. But ED HARRIS can attest that neither task is as simple as it seems. The actor is making his directorial debut--and playing the lead role--in a film based on the abstract expressionist, a project that has consumed Harris for six years.
