...second room, the subject shifts to celebrities, mostly models and actors. Ritts takes no single approach to photographing them. There is the cast of Batman Forever in full costume, including Jim Carrey hamming it up as the Riddler and a huge Warholesque quartet of portraits of Jack Nicholson as the Joker. There is Vanity Fair's gender-bending cover photo of Cindy Crawford playing the seductress for k.d. lang.

Weiss and McCarthy revelled in their roles as the dastardly consuls, sneaking around the stage in dirty, gaudy orange suits while manipulating the people of Rome. They offered a severely satirical portrait of political corruption. Zimmet's performance as Volumnia, Coriolanus' mother, matched Egan's in intensity. Zimmet proved extremely capable of fleshing out her character's witty lines, as well as her questionable relationship with Coriolanus...
