Benjamin acknowledges that his slice of humble pie might not have been that large. Unlike most other aspiring actors, he arrived in Los Angeles already famous--and rich enough to refuse roles that didn't interest him.

The chain was founded by Rossano Boscolo, a well-known Italian chef, who prides himself on the fact that the shops' single servings are hustled out of a high-powered oven...
...park looks as if it were airlifted from the U.S. Imagineers used Walt Disney's original designs for the first Disneyland in Anaheim as a starting point. Many Disney classics are there, including a fairy-tale Sleeping Beauty Castle and a Space Mountain roller coaster. Will this slice of Americana appeal to the Chinese? Disney executives think so. The Chinese "have heard so much about the parks around the world, and they want to experience the same thing," says Don Robinson, managing director of Hong Kong Disneyland. Disney may be catching China at just the right time: Chinese consumers want...
