...sits in his homey Manhattan office, its walls enlivened by posters of his movies, the clouds quickly pass. The major films of his career seem to herald happily dramatic life changes for him. Following Schindler's List, Neeson, a fabled ladies' man, married actress Natasha Richardson.

The U.S. women's soccer team also dispatched the world's top teams, including Norway...
