...every time I see The Wizard of Oz--and I must have seen it 20 times in my life, starting when I was five--every time I see it I remember how I saw it when I was five and how I used to close my eyes when the witch melted. You don't forget that. I don't close my eyes now, so I think seeing it again shows you how your memory was distorted or how you misunderstood...
...Deadly Medicine, Veronica Hamel plays a pediatrician with a loving husband who is building their dream house. Her downfall begins when she hires a nurse (Susan Ruttan) who turns out to be a baby killer. The doctor, naturally, is accused of the crime, and the result is a witch-hunt that would have done Salem proud: patients leave her, crank callers pester her, and her husband turns...

Acting is Foster's life -- enough of it, at least, to have earned her an Oscar in 1989 for playing the raped party girl in The Accused, and to have won raves and huge audiences for her role as a dogged FBI trainee in The Silence of the Lambs, the third-highest grossing movie released this year. Next year she co-stars in . . . a Woody Allen picture. But right now she is a director, and a damned fine one, of a small-budget...
