...This trust, the history of success, made it as good, if not better than any investment out there. Had we-and the many other devastated investors I've talked to over the last week-heard the name Madoff perhaps we would have checked him out, seen some of the red-flags, and maybe made a different decision...

This theme occupied him from his first feature film to his last. The 1957 Fear Strikes Out gave Anthony Perkins his first lead role as Boston Red Sox star Jim Piersall, reduced to bipolar rage by a domineering parent (sort of a Psycho in Center Field). In The Man in the Moon, Mulligan's swan song in 1991, Reese Witherspoon made her film debut as a 14-year-old wracked with first love for a 17-year...
