...actress Rene Liu about her 20:30:40 co-star, co-writer and director Sylvia Chang, and she exudes a sigh that's in equal parts admiration and exhaustion. "I think she's a model for all of us women, but she's too busy!" says Liu. "She's a mother, she's a producer, an agent, a star, singer, director, and an actress." Chang politely protests, flashing the sunrise smile that has lit up more than 80 films during her 30-year career: "There's always time for the things you want...
Depp; his longtime girlfriend, French actress Vanessa Paradis; and their children Lily-Rose, 4, and Jack, 1, spend about half their time in Los Angeles and half in the south of France. Depp still owns the L.A. club the Viper Room, but at 40, he's no longer a regular. "I swing by every now and again.

Then comes the romance with Anstee - tarnished...

She is sent away to a country cottage, where she is tended to by a garrulous nurse named Alma (Bibi Andersson). Alma quickly develops a monologue with her mute patient and slowly the two women seem to fuse into a single, indistinguishable entity. But a plot summary hardly does justice to Persona, director Ingmar Bergman’s masterwork and one of the most important films of 1960s cinema. Bergman explores the nature of communication, while tangling with threads...
...nights before we opened, our lead actress became too sick too perform, so we had to get someone to fill in for her at the last minute. Before the closing night performance, we [cast-members] were all joking that nothing else could possibly go wrong when one of our lead actors walked in on crutches. He had sprained his ankle playing basketball 2 hours before! It ended up working out—he worked the crutches into some of his lines – but since then, every last-minute problem I’ve ever encountered in other productions...
