...Crown Affair first appeared in 1968, its most memorable scene was a sexually charged chess game between Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway. Audiences will feel rooked by the remake--it lacks the original's kitschy cool--but they'll surely remember "the Dress": a black peekaboo number worn by Rene Russo that is snug as a body stocking and virtually transparent. Like the diaphanous gown Marilyn Monroe donned for J.F.K.'s birthday, Russo's outfit is a sheer delight. "The costume designer just brought it in one day, folded up to the size of a handkerchief," recalls Russo, who gazed...

Figuring out how black youngsters can rekindle that old-fashioned pride is a preoccupation of Rene Redwood, who is resigning this week as executive director of Americans for a Fair Chance, a Washington-based coalition of six civil rights and women's organizations that support affirmative action. Her departure is a big loss for the pro-affirmative action crowd, because Redwood, 43, a former executive director of the Federal Glass Ceiling Commission, has been such a forceful advocate.
