Really? Then where are all the other current Ben Afflecks? Clowns aside, there is a shallow pool of American leading men in their 30s. Affleck's pal Matt Damon has had hits and flops, though fewer of each than Ben. Same with Edward Norton. They all bound from action picture to indie, as Affleck has--from Jerry Bruckheimer (Armageddon, Pearl Harbor) to Kevin Smith (Chasing Amy, Dogma, Jersey Girl), from starring in potential franchise pictures (The Sum of All Fears, Daredevil) to doing cameos in films by friends...
...Huntington served as a top foreign policy adviser to Vice President Hubert Humphrey, who was then vying with Richard Nixon for the White House. That summer, he and longtime pal Henry A. Kissinger ’50 vacationed in Martha’s Vineyard. Kissinger—who had worked for Nelson Rockefeller in the New York governor’s primary bid against Nixon—casually offered to leak Huntington Rockefeller’s secret files on Nixon, Huntington says...

This past September, Britain's DNA Films (Trainspotting, 28 Days Later) signed a $50 million deal with America's Fox Searchlight, giving Fox a major British co-production pal and DNA access to worldwide distribution.

...modern matchmaker offers much more than a dating service. Clampitt's high-powered male clients pay her up to $20,000 a year to act as pal, coach, mom and concierge (she'll also be host at their parties, find interior designers and make restaurant reservations). In early February she met with client Robert Marinelli, 41, a tall, strikingly handsome banker. With his sharp wit, jet-set lifestyle and gregarious personality, Marinelli has no problem landing dates. Last year, in fact, he had 60. "Robert doesn't need me," admits Clampitt, who spotted him at a charity bachelor auction...
...Marty has a locked-room alibi - a pal had bolted the lush?s apartment door from the outside just before the murder was committed - and, as played by Duryea, is a sympathetic soul looking to redeem a promising life pissed away. He?s also falling in love with Catherine. So he joins forces with her as a pianist-singer duo at the nightclub of menacing Marko (Peter Lorre), who knew the dead woman. All this amateur sleuthing wins the initial contempt of detective Broderick Crawford, who snarls to Marty, ?You just gotta play detective. Do I go around playin? piano...
