ROBERT EVANS likes to keep romance in the picture, if in unconventional ways. At 75, the bronzed, basso-voiced producer of Chinatown proposed to his seventh bride, socialite and twice-married mother of three LADY VICTORIA WHITE, 42, by presenting her with a black-and-white photograph of her and her first, now deceased, husband.

For many, that morning was the beginning of a lifetime of struggle--to overcome not only the physical ailments associated with radiation but also the psychic trauma caused by years of rejection from their own society, which shunned the survivors out of fear they could contaminate others. French photographer Gerard Rancinan traveled to Hiroshima this year to photograph the hibakusha and record their stories. Seventy agreed to pose, some holding childhood photos or pictures of family members killed in the bombing. The survivors wrote their names in white marker next to their portraits and recorded how far they were...
...wouldn't want to work with anyone else but Pernilla August [the actress who was married to director Bille] because she had played the same woman, Ingmar's mother, in Best Intentions.
