Jeff Goldblum -- Los Angeles
Goldblum attracted public attention with his portrayal of the "slightly crazed scientist" in the 1986 remake of the 1950s horror film, The Fly. He endured five-hour make-up sessions to coordinate his metamorphosis into an insect. ..".Goldblum has created one of the most sympathetic man-monsters ever seen on screen," wrote Jack Matthews of the Los Angeles Times, "and the best work under this much latex since John Hurt's Oscar-nominated performance in The Elephant Man."
Jim Carrey -- Los Angeles
Jim Carrey will play Ebenezer Scrooge — as well as the three ghosts that haunt him — in a new big-screen adaptation of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol, to be written and directed for Disney by Robert Zemeckis, says Variety. Zemeckis will shoot the film using "performance capture/Disney digital 3-D" animation, a technique he introduced in Tom Hanks' Polar Express and fine-tuned for Beowulf (an upcoming film starring Angelina Jolie), a bit of live action and a dash of Monster House-esque computer graphics. And just like that, The Grinch looks art-house. read more
Jean Harlow -- Roles
As author Irving Schulman tells it in his 1964 book Harlow, Jean's co-stars Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy didn't see anything striking about her when she was in their feature Double Whoopee. She just kind of fit the bill with nothing extra to give the audience but an incredible shock of blonde hair, that she always insisted was natural and a nice figure. It was the desperation that led her would-be agent, Arthur Landau to find her in the nick of time to fill the roll of Helen in Howard Hughes 1930 WWI extravaganza Hell's Angels. With the promise of good food and escape from her opportunist stepfather, she reached out for an opportunity to be on her own and financially independent. It took some couching from Arthur, a successful tour of the country for Angels, and a few worthy roles under her belt to finally bring her into the respectful eyes of a co-ed audience.
Brooke Adams -- New York
Award-winning actor Tony Shalhoub adds the "director" hyphenate to his calling card with this labor of love, starring his wife, Brooke Adams, and written by his sister-in-law, Lynne Adams. Made-Up lightly parodies the reality-TV "makeover" craze as it tells the tale of Elizabeth (Brooke Adams), a middle-aged divorc e who agrees to be made over by her daughter Sara (Eva Amurri), a process which will be documented for eternity by her aspiring-filmmaker sister, Kate (Lynne Adams). A former actress still smarting over her long-since faded stardom, Elizabeth is none too pleased at having her transformation videotaped, but she goes along with it, and soon finds that her "new you" is winning over the affections of a new beau, restaurateur Max (Shalhoub). But self-doubt continues to nag at Elizabeth, to the point where she almost undermines her own chances at romance. Lynne Adams based her screenplay on her own one-woman play; Gary Sinise makes an appearance as Elizabeth's ex-husband. ~ Michael Hastings, All Movie Guide
The Ventures -- Wild Country
Woodstock Ventures billed the concert as a "weekend in the country" - temporary commune. The ads ran in the newspapers, both establishment and underground, and on radio stations in Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, Boston, Texas and Washington, D.C. A concert ticket ... bought a campsite. But even a commune requires some kind of organization. In late June, Goldstein called in the Hog Farm.
Shirley Jones -- Marty Ingels
At 71, Shirley Jones is getting nasty just as she did in her Oscar-winning role as a hooker in 1960's Elmer Gantry. The Partridge Family mom plays a sex-crazed senior in the Adam Sandler-produced comedy Grandma's Boy, in theaters Friday. Snowed in with her husband, comedian Marty Ingels, 69, at their Big Bear Mountain cabin, she called USA TODAY to discuss her bedtime antics, on and off screen.
Tamagotchi -- Pets
The curse of all teachers, with kids having to care for their pets around the clock (even during school), Tamagotchi were a short lived craze and by 1998 had virtually disappeared from the UK market. Several feeble attempts were made at reviving the craze, by introducing Virtual Angels, Virtual Aliens and even Virtual Kittens, but these were to proove too much for the fickle UK consumers. Tamagotchi were withdrawn from stock by January 1999, although they can still be found on occasions when hunting through "bargain bins" in the high street.
Reese Witherspoon -- Roles
Reese Witherspoon took home her first Actor® last year for Outstanding Female in a Leading Role for her portrayal of June Carter in Walk the Line. This year marks her first as a SAG Awards presenter. Witherspoon produced and appears in the modern fable Penelope, due out in April, and is currently filming Rendition.
Robin Williams -- Tim Robbins
Slick-talking, womanizing car salesman Robin Williams needs all of his oratorical skills to save himself and his co-workers when crazed husband Tim Robbins takes the dealership hostage, looking for the man who seduced his wife. High-test laughfest ... stars Pamela Reed, Annabella Sciorra, Fran Drescher and Variety mainstay Zack Norman. 97 min. Standard and Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtracks: English Dolby Digital stereo Surround, French Dolby Digital stereo Surround, Spanish Dolby Digital mono; Subtitles: English, French, Spanish; theatrical trailer.
Vincent Price -- Wax Museum
Price then signed on to star in 1953's House of Wax, Warners' 3-D update of their Mystery of the Wax Museum. The picture was one of the year's biggest hits, and one of the most successful horror films ever produced. Price's crazed performance as a vengeful sculptor brought him offers for any number of similar projects, and he next appeared in another 3-D feature, Dangerous Mission. He ... made a triumphant return to the stage to appear in Richard III, followed by Black-Eyed Susan. The latter was Price's last theatrical performance for 14 years, however, as he began a very busy and eclectic motion picture schedule. Though he essayed many different types of characters, his forays into horror remained by far his most popular, and in 1958 he co-starred in the hit The Fly as well as William Castle's House on Haunted Hill.
