...fame. One might call it a collateral celebrity, because it relied on no discernible contribution (except to the gaiety, and now the grief, of nations). Lady Diana Spencer attracted the love of the introverted heir to the English throne. And that was all. Brightness of eye, whiteness of tooth, a colluding smile, a certain transparency, a vividness, an exposed vulnerability: it was enough for him, and it was enough for us. Madonna sings.

But the stars of the new film based on the last book in Alexandre Dumas's trilogy find the long-in-the-tooth trio with more savoir faire. "They still have a little swash, a little buckle," says JEREMY IRONS, who plays Aramis. "But they are older and wiser." GERARD DEPARDIEU is Porthos, JOHN MALKOVICH is Athos, and GABRIEL BYRNE is D'Artagnan, their friend and captain. The film by first-time director...
