...year--drop her in insular worlds where her beauty and quiet sexuality generate more rattle than hum. Yet Tyler also projects a work-in-progress quality, an appropriately teenage openness. Mangold says he knew as soon as he met Tyler that she would make an ideal Callie, the kindly waitress who intoxicates an overweight loner (Pruitt Taylor Vince) with whom she works in a grim, paneled pizzeria. "I needed someone to fill several bills," he explains. "She had to be devastatingly beautiful but she had to contradict our assumptions about someone who looks like that. I could really...
...Bernardo Bertolucci's Stealing Beauty, Tyler visits a Tuscan villa where the regulars rhapsodize over her innocence, her naturalness, her cutiful-beautifulness. In James Mangold's Heavy, she is a waitress at an upstate New York diner, and the cow-size chef gets mooncalf eyes at her approach. These movies are all about looking at Liv.

This did not strike us as a very professional way to run a kitchen, but our waitress seemed to be trying very hard, so we decided...
...lengths to attack him. An aide to a rival campaign leaked word that Forbes' 151-ft.-long yacht, the Highlander, features among its art collection a photograph by the late homosexual artist Robert Mapplethorpe. (Well, yes, but it's a seascape.) Another operative in the same campaign found a waitress in New Hampshire who claims that Forbes left a miserly $2 tip on a $45 lunch bill; others in the party added $6. If these tactics are an indication of the weeks to come, the race is likely to be brutish as well as short...
