...public events. What else was PEOPLE magazine to do? Then, at the 1995 Oscars, Uma Thurman showed up in some Prada dress that everyone seemed to like a whole lot, and sex symbolism returned to Hollywood. Now designers fight to establish relationships with actresses like Cameron Diaz, Tea Leoni and Claire Danes. And models get to dress badly. Last week Schiffer showed up at a New York City movie premiere wearing jeans and little makeup and downing popcorn, M&Ms, a box of chocolate-covered ice cream chunks and a huge soda. And it was not a very long movie...
...action movie released this summer freighted with a subplot about the importance of family. This has had the unprecedented effect of elevating teary-eyed hugs to the same level of cinematic importance as blowing up the Chrysler Building. The emotional climax of Deep Impact, for instance, occurs when Tea Leoni's reporter character embraces her estranged dad as they stand on a windswept Atlantic beach. (Father and daughter then find real closure when they, the Chrysler Building and the rest of the Eastern seaboard are smacked by a mile-high tidal wave.) Armageddon, the summer's other film...
...teenager who discovers the threatening comet is a smart, plucky puppy like Elijah Wood; that somebody as down-home and dutiful as Robert Duvall is commanding the space mission charged with diverting the asteroid from its deadly path.

Esquire, which in its '60s incarnation published some of the decade's defining journalism, has just this month been remade in a more service-oriented mode: the president of its corporate division now describes it as a "tool kit for living." David Granger, a GQ editor who last week was named...
...your item on the marriage of the X-Files' David Duchovny and television actress Tea Leoni [PEOPLE, May 19], you referred to me as a "Daily News columnist." My newspapers are Newsday and the New York Post, plus 60 others across the country that carry my column. I haven't worked at the Daily News for more than six years. LIZ SMITH New York City...
