...fails to appreciate, an equivalent to Robin's Tony. She's a pretty, sensible book editor (Famke Janssen) who supports his return to fiction. But even with her patient encouragement, he can't stay straight for long. He betrays her for a promising, utterly self-absorbed young actress (Winona Ryder). Maybe he can get in on the ground floor of her celebrity...
Consider the story a few weeks ago about Riley Weston, the writer on the WB series Felicity who was fired when it was learned she was 32 years old instead of 19, as she had claimed. As a supposed teenager--judging from pictures, she could pass as Winona Ryder's sprightlier kid sister--she was considered a special asset on a show about a college student.

Featured were Marisa Tomei on the subject of pubic hair (sample line: "You cannot love a vagina unless you love hair"); Glenn Close...
...moon-princess luster, she is the heir to Winona Ryder. As an icon of indie film, she's a teen Parker Posey. But don't waste comparisons on Christina Ricci. At 18, she is her own, clever young actress grown up onscreen from the gothic child playing with dead things in Casper and The Addams Family to the buxom blond in The Opposite of Sex. "I love her access to her dark places," says Sex auteur Don Roos. "There's a very mature, adult mind behind that childlike face...
