Baker is famously stubborn ("extremely committed to his artistic belief system" is how Nutty II producer Brian Grazer puts it), wears his hair in a ponytail and absolutely loves apes. He wore his own monkey suits in The Incredible Shrinking Woman and the remakes of King Kong and Mighty Joe Young.

Seattle is only one of dozens of cities facing a decline in police recruiting. National statistics tracked by the Department of Justice are grim: in the past three years, New York City has seen the number of its applicants plummet from 32,000 to 15,000; in the next five years, Minnesota expects to retire half of its police forces statewide. The aging of baby-boomer cops is partly to blame. So is the profession's tarnished reputation in incidents ranging from the racially charged 1991 Rodney King beating in Los Angeles to the recent wilding incident in New York...
