...famous multimillionaire really be a spokeswoman for the down-home art of making your own clothes? Stewart does, at least, understand the impulse driving so many young women to assert their individuality with one-of-a kind, homemade clothes. In 1961 Stewart was named one of Glamour's 10 Best Dressed College Girls. "One of the reasons I stood out," she recalls, "was because I sewed all my own clothes." Now that's an endorsement...
...expect to see a very different Wahlberg this time around. SNIPER SCHOOL “It’s an extremely difficult job,” says Wahlberg about being a sniper in a phone interview with the Crimson. “There’s not much glamour involved in it at all. It takes a lot of discipline, and they are as smart as they are tough.” Fortunately, the actor says he was up for the challenge.

She was vivacious, pretty, a Nobel-dynamite-winning thrush, an appealing actress who excelled in comedy and, if a director could just tamp down her pile-driving instincts, drama. TIME, searching for the portmanteau...
...decor of these films were alone worth the price of a ticket. And that says nothing about the attendant hysteria of their plots. These were stories for grown-ups, who do not go much to mainstream movies these days. The result is that these dramas wandered off into glamour-trash TV (remember Dallas?) and then into total disuse. Something like Bier's film (or the much darker Danish film, The Inheritance of a few years back) reminds us of what we're missing. It's not just the elegant country houses we revel in. It's the sense these movies...
