At one of these was Jackie Chan, who unabashedly loves being Jackie Chan. He was escorting the co-star of his new film The Myth, Bollywood sex goddess Mallika Sherawat, a young woman so gorgeous, curvaceous and genial, and so open in her ambition to be the next big thing, that she surely will be. Striding down the Croisette, making the paparazzi pop their bulbs, Sherawat summoned old-timers' memories of a festival 50 years ago, when...
