...Olympics that Americans ignored in large numbers--as if it were a presidential election or something--was nothing less than sensational. Moving from strength to strength, the Sydney Games followed the hosts' heroics in the pool with thrilling competitions in everything from the beach brand of volleyball to the Greco-Roman flavor of wrestling, then topped the whole thing with a spectacular track meet--a meet that featured a performance for the ages by Australia's Cathy Freeman, a young woman who ran with no less than a continent on her delicate shoulders...

Even those feet...well, they have character. The one thing she lacks is American renown, and that's sure to change, considering the movie company she's keeping. The co-stars of her next four films are Matt Damon (in Billy Bob Thornton's All the Pretty Horses), Johnny Depp (in Ted Demme's Blow), Nicolas Cage...
