...since when is a movie hunk supposed to have a sharp mind and a strong will? "Most directors rent actors," Baldwin says in his intimate, raspy voice. "You're like a puppet. They put their hand up your sleeve, and you do what they want." As a star he will get to do what he wants -- which is perhaps to be other than a star. He holds strong political opinions and is not afraid to promote them. He is a member of the Creative Coalition, an environmental group. "He could be a politician or run a movie studio," says...

Fast-forward through an early Cruise movie, and you will find him in the corner of the frame, a winsome thing in love with his body, exuding the jock wholesomeness of a baby Christopher Reeve.

Like other citizens with some mileage on them, I used to love cars, maybe 30 years ago, and then I grew up. Now when a hunk of junk that cost twice the price of my first house needs new front shocks at only 120,000 miles, my feeling is bitter resentment. Americans hate their cars...
