...always imagined my first drama would be lower budget, maybe $15 million," says Oz, 57. "I could get really dark and dirty with actors who were unknown." It actually ended up costing nearly $70 million, but Oz did get dark and dirty, thanks to clashing egos and a script that wasn't finished when the film went into production...
...Canal Zone, Hughes, 45, is the most powerful woman ever to hold a White House job. A former local TV reporter, she has a keen sense for the American vernacular, and she channels it directly into Bush's mouth.

...tears even before we walk into the theater. He died, tragically, of an aortic aneurysm just weeks before his soon-to-be-a-hit Rent opened. Now one of his earlier works, Tick, Tick...Boom!, has been revived off-Broadway. It's a slight, autobiographical piece (with a script worked over by David Auburn, author of Proof) about the struggling composer's own angst at reaching his 30th birthday. Yet this Portrait of the Artist as a Young Neurotic makes up for its self-involvement (Jon tries to get his agent on the phone; Jon gets an encouraging phone call...
