...million wouldn't come close to buying Schwarzenegger's body, not even for a single movie. He asks and gets twice that price, and the moguls know it is a fair deal.

"Arnold loves being a movie star," says Ivan Reitman, his director on Twins and Kindergarten Cop. "He approaches the role with great gusto and charm. He is a throwback to the classic movie stars...

And other non-M.D.s, including pharmacists, physician's assistants and nurse practitioners (registered nurses with some advanced training) have been granted at least limited privileges -- either for a restricted number of drugs or under close supervision by physicians -- in many states.
