Chicago remains statistically the most segregated major city in the nation. And the Machine can't and won't do much for ghetto dwellers.

In Angela, a modern version of the Greek tragedy Oedipus at Colonus, she plays a restaurant waitress who loses her infant son to Mafia kidnapers. Years later, the long-lost lad, played by Steve Railsback, 30, accidentally meets up with Mom and, presto, some Oedipal complexities develop. Sophia can only hope she will avoid such problems in her next movie, The Great Day. She is cast as the mother...
