Third Estate Sunday Review

The Third Estate Sunday Review focuses on politics and culture. We're an online magazine. We don't play nice and we don't kiss butt. In the words of Tuesday Weld: "I do not ever want to be a huge star. Do you think I want a success? I refused "Bonnie and Clyde" because I was nursing at the time but also because deep down I knew that it was going to be a huge success. The same was true of "Bob and Carol and Fred and Sue" or whatever it was called. It reeked of success."

Washed out and washed up?

Wan and washed out on the cover of Marie Claire, is Julia Roberts washed up?

You won't find the answer in the soft porn that passes for a feature article.

However, the cover, with Julia looking tired and squinty-eyed? Did she forget to pop her eyes during the photo session?

It appears to indicate that Roberts is still in the free fall that resulted in Larry Crown, among others. Long gone are the days when Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas headed Team Julia and protected the not-so-smart actress from herself.

(Not so smart actress? Has any other actress ever set up a production company only to whine about how reading scripts was hard and that the characters talked to fast.)
