FEATURES 
64 Birds of a Feather 
BY BRUCE BIBBY 
Put Robin Williams and Nathan Lane—the lovey-dovey stars of Mike Nichols's
The Birdcage—in a room together and start laughing. Williams and Lane aren't
afraid of ruffling feathers as they take on everything from dressing up like Barbara
Bush to acting up like Jim Carrey. "For every rule you make in comedy,"
says Williams, "somebody will violate it and be brilliant." He should
know. 
74 You Might As Well Liv 
BY RACHEL ABRAMOWITZ 
"She's a pulsating vein," says eighteen-year-old actress Liv Tyler about
the blossoming ingenue she plays in Bernardo Bertolucci's Stealing Beauty. The
Italian maestro teaming up with the gorgeous daughter of Aerosmith's lead singer?
Is it hot in here, or is it just summer in Tuscany? 
80 The Sunchasers 
BY CHRISTINE SPINES 
Ah, the pleasures of winter in the sleepy town of Park City, Utah: the movie stars
making scenes, the wheelers and dealers hunting for fresh blood, the frenzied
parties. Welcome to the wildest and woolliest Sundance Film Festival yet. 
84 Enduring Isabelle 
BY HOLLY MILLEA 
Luminous French actress Isabelle Adjani, who stars with Sharon Stone :n the remake
of Diabolique, is known for her vivid portraits of tormented women. But Adjani's
most tempestuous scenes have been off-screen. Here she talks candidly about scheming
with Sharon Stone, her ill-fated affair with Daniel Day-Lewis ("After I got
pregnant, I saw him and then he wasn't there anymore"), and the joys of motherhood. 
90 Good Night, Dark Prince 
BY PETER BISKIND 
When producer Don Simpson died in January, no one was terribly surprised. With
his colossal appetite for drugs, hookers, and a good fight, Simpson always got
his kicks on the brink of oblivion. In the wake of his death, Hollywood is struggling
to come to terms with the demons that drove this complex, often brutal player
to both massive success—with era-defining hits like Beverly Hills Cop and
Top Gun—and unrelieved despair. "He had courage," says one observer,
"and you don't like to see courage go down."

112 Pushing the Envelope 
by Steve Pond 
Photographed by Lara Jo Regan 
"Uma, Oprah." Letterman is squirming in his tux. "Oprah, Uma."
The guys in the control room want to kill Martin Landau. Clint Eastwood can't
find the bathroom. "Uma, Oprah." At least the spinning dog looks happy.
Fasten your seatbelts for the dizzying, inside-the-inside story of the making—and
near unmaking—of Oscar '95.
