...warmer. Baby wipes have become an indispensable item on changing tables, but the warmer--a plug-in device that keeps the wipes from chilling your baby's bottom--is not. Parents and gift buyers tempted by the $25-$30 product should know that one maker of wipe warmers, Prince Lionheart, recently recalled more than 150,000 of them when parents reported getting electric shocks. Know too that wipes can be warmed between your hands...
...generation need apply. Alan Bates, Albert Finney, Ian McKellen, Derek Jacobi -- each brings the handsomely monogrammed baggage of an outsize personality. They would be too big for the role, tell too much. Hopkins is just the man for this. For much of his career, as a prissy Richard the Lionheart in The Lion in Winter (his first film, 1968) or the Rupert Murdoch-like press baron in the 1985 play Pravda, he had his own suitcase of mannerisms: the clipped elocution, the run-on sentence, all the pensive ahhs and umms.

...screen debut, Deborah Leigh Moore felt a definite kinship with the dapper 007 portrayed by her dad Roger Moore. "I fight the Tafurs and the Saracens with sword and dagger, and I joust in tournaments with a lance on horseback," says Deborah, who has just been filming Lionheart on location in Portugal. "I feel like I am playing the feminine side of the sort of thing my father used to do." A generation and a few centuries removed, that is. Moore, 22, plays Mathilda, an independent young medieval miss who disguises herself as a knight to go in search...
