Jacqueline Obradors
Not every career just glides along in Hollywood. Some start and stop for years until they finally take off. Jacqueline Obradors--reclining here at The Highlands Nightclub and Loggia at the Hollywood & Highland complex--is a perfect example of this type of ascendency.

Kevin Spacey: The Thinking Person's Sex Symbol
Everyone knows Kevin Spacey is a smart actor -- you can tell from his choices. But few know what he's like in real life. Here he gives us a crash course in all things Kevin -- from the actors who've inspired him and the Hollywood friends he keeps to the types of bars he enjoys and the traveling he's done with Bill Clinton.

Basic star Roselyn Sanchez slinks into spring fashion's basic black and white.

Pretty Gone Plain
When sexpots want Tinseltown to take them seriously, they get gruesome for the big screen. Sometimes this results in nausea for the viewing public. Other times, it results in Hollywood gold for the stars.

Those Lovely Liars
Back in the '50s, when people still believed in glamour and permitted mystique, the great stars radiated images so cool and desirable no mere mortal could live up to them.

The House That Oscar Built
The Villa Vallombrosa looks like it was built a century or three ago. Designed in the Tuscan Rural style by architect Nathan Coleman, this mini palazzo with an enclosed courtyard and fountain is decorated with French and Italian furniture and feels like a. retreat for a 19th Century scholar or artist. The small, dark rooms have a crypt-like dull to them, and there's even a heady old European smell coming off the vintage upholstery and clothbound books.
