...worked like a man, like a dog, doing gorgeous stunts in such terrific films as The Heroic Trio, Tai Chi Master and Wing Chun, and suffered torn ligaments, cracked ribs, jangled neck vertebrae and a dislocated shoulder. She was seriously injured in 1995, while shooting Ah Kam. "It wasn't one of my difficult stunts," Yeoh says blithely, "just jumping off an 18-ft. wall. I landed on my head, and my neck went crack! Every muscle, every ligament in my body was screaming. At the hospital they put me in cement to keep me immobile." A month later...

And the ever alert Salvador Dali managed to include a number of proto-Pop American images in his pictures when working...
...appreciation of nature. The area along the Missouri-Arkansas line has been home to privacy seekers ranging from well-armed isolationist groups to prosperous marijuana farmers. Maloney said, "I asked them the question, 'Were they looking for a place to hide,' and they didn't respond to that." The trio left the same day and never came back...
