Have you heard of the Yale Bomb? Ya, well dropping it isn’t that cool. Being a guy—and not much of a looker at that—I really wish my name was Elihu Harvard. I’d be a lot cooler. Oh the places...
...didn't kiss up. He didn't smile much. And he certainly wasn't much of a looker. Despite lacking these standard keys to success in the world of entertainment, ALAN KING, who died from lung cancer last week at age 76, appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show 56 times, acted in more than 20 movies and was paid handsomely to speak during at least one corporate event you might have attended.

Law dived right in, being buried alive and dragging himself through swamps, mud and snow. A former vegetarian, Law discovered he was 20 lbs. underweight and had to bulk up for the role. "I remember looking out the window of my hotel room in Brasov and seeing Jude running up and down the hotel car park with his personal trainer on his back," says Minghella. That trainer--the 200-lb. Eddie Joseph, who has a good...
