FEATURES

Dennis Farina
Having been handpicked by such of-the-moment directors as Steven Soderbergh for Out of Sight, Guy Ritchie for Snatch and now Edward Burns for Sidewalks of New York, Dennis Farina is undergoing a career resurgence at age 57.

Josh Hartnett: Straight From The Hartnett
Little known a year ago, Josh Hartnett is front and center with Ben Affleck and Kate Beckinsale in this summer's biggest film, Pearl Harbor, and he has another major one coming up soon, Ridley Scott's Black Hawk Down. How did a lanky Minnesota boy rise to stardom so quickly? As he tells it, the formula for success is one part pure wanderlust to three parts sheer rebelliousness.

Omar Epps
After crashing and burning with costars Claire Danes and Giovanni Ribisi in the 1999 megaflop The Mod Squad, Omar Epps would have had every right to despair that he'd just blown the career momentum started back in 1992 with his star-making turn in Juice.

Joe Roth: But What He Really Wants To Do Is Direct
Joe Roth has been the studio boss of both 20th Century Fox and Disney, and he's just launched his third major production company. So what in the world is he doing directing Julia Roberts and Catherine Zeta-Jones in this summer's America's Sweethearts.

Shannen Doherty: The Calm After The Storm

Hollywood's Women Who Loved Too Much
Big-time Casanovas like Errol Flynn and Gary Cooper aren't the only stars who were legendary for their many love affairs. A number of gorgeous actresses competed in the boudoir Olympics with as much style and ferocity as their male counterparts.

Clive Owen: Clive Talkin'
Clive Owen's coiled intensity in the cult hit Croupier won him an American following that now threatens to make him the star he'd rather not be.

Brad Renfro: Brad Influence
He became headline news for scrapes with the law, but young Brad Renfro, who appears in this month's indie Bully, insists he's done with his wayward ways.

Josh Hartnett: Straight From The Hartnett
Little known a year ago, Josh Hartnett is front and center with Ben Affleck and Kate Beckinsale in this summer's biggest film, Pearl Harbor, and he has another major one coming up soon, Ridley Scott's Black Hawk Down.

The New Warden of Jurassic Park
Low-profile director Joe Johnston gives the lowdown on Jurassic Park III and describes the long, surprising relationship with George Lucas and Steven Spielberg that led to his taking over from Spielberg on the T. Rex-sized chore of guiding dinos to new box-office glory.
