Linney's not the type to brag. Although she was raised in Manhattan (her father is playwright Romulus Linney) and trained at the Juilliard School, she retains a soft Southern drawl and kind manners acquired during childhood summers spent with relatives in Georgia. Still, this non-diva is a prized commodity in the New York City theater, where she's starred in Uncle Vanya. Indie filmmakers love her too; she can currently be seen in Terence Davies' adaptation of Edith Wharton's The House of Mirth. And she has a nice little cult following owing to her role as sexual...
...comparison between the two is wrong because they are after completely different things. Lagasse is, as Batali puts it, "more of a showman," hollering "bam!" and cooking up "wicked peach cobbler" with diva Patti LaBelle, a recent guest on Emeril Live.

There's quite a bit left of her, actually. After at least seven books about her life, an off-Broadway musical in the '80s (starring Helen Gallagher) and dozens of female impersonators, the deep-voiced diva is back in no fewer than three plays. Tovah Feldshuh is the star and co-author of Tallulah Hallelujah!, an off-Broadway play in the form of a fictional USO show with Bankhead as host. Nan Schmid, formerly of the Second City improv troupe, wrote and stars in Dahling, in which eight actors portray more than 40 characters in Bankhead's life. And Kathleen...
...wistful in the second act as they attempt to rebuild their lives with new partners. The tense relations between Ming and Robert (Jeremy Blocker '03), an ingenuous Caucasian waiter, are intercut with scenes of Oscar as he builds a new relationship with Daniel (William Adams '03), a sassy young diva-in-cargo-pants Filipino college student...
