...film with more than one-and-a-half dimensions, but a couple other cast members make the most out of the caricatures they play. As Lina, Mary Walsh finds humor as Nino’s widowed mom and possible love child of Joan Rivers and one unbelievably drunk Sophia Loren, whose love for her son is topped only by her love of one-upping family friends Gino and Maria...
Serious actress, sex goddess. Movies haven't seen that combo since the era of Sophia Loren and Claudia Cardinale, when European stars commuted between homegrown and Hollywood films. A later generation had less luck: Isabelle Huppert's first big U.S. film was Heaven's Gate, and Isabelle Adjani's was Ishtar--two signal flops of the '80s. Penelope Cruz has yet to look comfortable in a U.S. film. Bellucci knows the odds, and she has the ambition. "It's so difficult for a European actress to have the chance to work internationally," she says. "But if you want to make...
...friend, girlfriend, wife, mother of his children and eventually business partner happened, she says, "slowly, slowly." Between 1977 and 1994, Cavalli's fashion business had become lackluster.

What he did was an abuse of personal power and an abuse of the newspaper he worked for." That's the rationale Tribune editors used too: "Staff members are forbidden to use their position at the newspaper to gain advantage in personal activities." They insist her age was irrelevant, which has led to more questions. Does this mean...
Yoder's life approached normalcy in the '80s. Not long after leaving Chester, he met Shirley Peters, a plainspoken woman who lived in the apartment under his mother's place. He and Shirley married and moved to Tacoma, Wash., and had two kids, Jennifer and Loren. Yoder attended Fort Steilacoom College and got straight A's in political science. He also sold real estate. "He was a pretty normal guy, really, except when he drank," says Shirley. They eventually moved back to Illinois, and the relationship unraveled. "There were times I ran around with black eyes," she says. They divorced...
