That request left Mann "beyond not interested." To get out of her contract, she had to buy back her own master tapes. "I had had it," she explains. "Now I understand what Prince went though. I was ready to cheerfully quit the business forever." Fortunately, this is when Paul Thomas Anderson stepped in. While writing the script for Magnolia, Anderson heard a tape of some of Mann's new songs and liked them so much he began building characters around them. Claudia, the lonely cokehead played by Melora Walters, was inspired by the song Deathly. "Everything [Aimee] seemed...
That's especially true since he is played by the marvelous Chow Yun-Fat, who interprets the role as if the cranky volatility of Yul Brynner and Rex Harrison never existed. He has all his hair, doesn't comically fracture his English and, though he occasionally loses his temper, never loses his quiet wit. There is about him a sort of watchful wariness, a thoughtful, insinuating manliness that avoids macho strutting in favor of bemused calculation.

Though he was mercilessly critical of Clinton's halfhearted prosecution of the war in Kosovo, he agreed that American interests and credibility were threatened and that force was justified. He has since said that he "was completely wrong" to oppose similar action in Bosnia. "John's not an absolutist," says Nebraska Senator Chuck Hagel...
...than their natural offspring, as he was in E.B. White's classic children's novel. He is, after all, a wee mouse. But sooner or later, in both cases, disbelief is suspended, and we take the brave, chipper and very decent rodent (voiced by Michael J. Fox) to heart. Though Stuart's adventures seem more breathless onscreen than they did on the page, the blend of digital animation and live action is first rate. Eventually Stuart wins over even Snowbell, the Littles' cat (Nathan Lane). That scheming feline is a tougher audience than any Stuart is likely to encounter...
