FEATURES

Jennifer Garner
While doing summer stock in Atlanta, Georgia, a few years back, Jennifer Garner approached a veteran New York stage actress for career advice.

James Franco
With his wild mane of black hair and a copy of James Joyce's A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man tucked under his arm as he sits in a West Hollywood cafe, James Franco would probably like to appear dark, brooding and serious. But his cover gets blown when a teenage girl walks up to him and loudly proclaims, "You're yummy!"

Heath Ledger: The Heath is On
He touched teen hearts with 10 Things I Hate About You, then grabbed everyone else with The Patriot. Now Heath Ledger is starring in a rockin' medieval adventure, Brian Helgeland's A Knight's Tale, and has already shot Elizabeth director Shekhar Kapur's Four Feathers. Here Ledger explains how he keeps his sanity in the mounting storm of stardom, provides a plausible theory on why Aussies are stealing the best parts in Hollywood films, and praises the new star in his life, Heather Graham.

Drea de Matteo: Drea's Dread
Drea de Matteo plays tough on "The Sopranos," but in real life she claims to be wracked with fear, guilt and the desire to star in a Merchant-Ivory film.

Tom Green: It's Easy Being Green
Can Freddy Got Fingered, the film Tom Green wrote, directed and stars in, possibly make him more famous than testicular cancer, a certain white mouse and Drew Barrymore already have?
