...visual highlight of the performance was the descent of an enormous, illuminated pumpkin into the ballroom, with Cornejo perched elegantly inside, shrouded in a Cruella de Vil-like fur cape. Bachelors in penguin suits escorted bachelorettes with wonderful gusto. As Prince Charming, Nelson Madrigal had all of the second act to lament in a style reminiscent of Prince Siegfried’s melancholy soliloquy in “Swan Lake.” Though lacking overwhelming charisma, he made up for it with his superb partnering of an audacious Cornejo. Her abrupt, instinctual shifts in direction as she leapt...
...months later, I got an e-mail from Dani: "Now I vil tell you my life," he wrote. He'd returned to Ferizaj and was selling cigarettes to U.S. troops, who soon realized, as I had, that he'd make a great unofficial translator. It was thanks to his army friends - and his good grades in school - that Dani was picked to introduce Clinton in the President's only speech to the Kosovar people. But Dani's e-mail also revealed the best news of all: his father had survived the war, he wrote, "So my life was lucky...

It was such a brilliant script and I love working with Stephen Frears. Big Chill - only the second movie I did - was a great experience, with another...
...Vil Uyana is near some of the richest architectural treasures in the world. Just up the road is Sigiriya, the extraordinary rock fortress built in the 5th century, and widely hailed as the eighth wonder of the world. The ruined capitals of Anuradhapura, founded in the 4th century B.C., and 900-year-old Polonnaruwa are a shortish drive away, and so are the cave temples at Dambulla, which date from the 1st century B.C. They're so amazing - and so amazingly well preserved - that you could stay in a hut and be happy. But how much better to return, after...
