...Nine years ago, she was just another down-at-heel ex-prodigy, so poor she didn't even own a cello. Then she wandered into an open call at New York City's Ford Modeling Agency, where the fact that she looks like a cross between Michelle Pfeiffer and Uma Thurman was considered an asset, not a distraction. Now Kotova, who turns 28 this month, is off the runways and back onstage, touring the U.S. and promoting her self-titled debut CD on Philips Classics. It is a collection of juicy romantic encores by Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninoff, Rimsky-Korsakov, Faure...
Sleepwalking through yet another movie, Arquette apparently thinks we'll write off as oh-so-nourish her flat, "understated" delivery; she also misguidedly subscribes to the Uma Thurman "the more tired you look, the sexier you must be" school of seduction. She doesn't play her character's kooky quirks--addictions to self-help tapes and The Sound of Music--as nearly as creepy or unnerving as they should be, reducing them to novelty, pop-recognition bits...

...vagaries of buzz. Nicole Kidman comes to Broadway in a David Hare trifle, and the theater world foams at the mouth in anticipation. Uma Thurman, another hot film star, makes her off-Broadway debut in a Moliere classic and gets a big yawn. To be sure, her performance betrays inexperience: slouchy and tentative instead of brittle and biting. But the production around her is smashing. Director Barry Edelstein puts slick designer duds on Crimp's smart update of the play to the phony '90s show-biz world, and the terrific Roger Rees, as Alceste, could teach any young actress...
