FEATURES

The Flint Beneath the Shimmer
After a classically inauspicious beginning, Andie MacDowell has run a long gauntlet toward Hollywood success and respect. With one starring role in the touted Multiplicity and another opposite John Travolta due later this year, she just might be about to really catch fire.

Meet Bill Pullman
He's been around for years playing every sort of character. But even after he starred opposite Sandra Bullock in the hit While You Were Sleeping, people were still not sure who he was. Will the big blast of Independence Day liberate Bill Pullman from the vestiges of anonymity?

Hot and Cole
Once best known for playing the rugged, sensitive talk-show radio host on TV's "Midnight Caller," Gary Cole went big-screen by donning a wig in The Brady Bunch Movie, and now he's at it again.

Double Take
If you saw Muriel's Wedding, you're in for a fun surprise. Toni Collette, the zaftig actress who played Muriel, is not what she seemed.
