Actor’s face shows
multiple expressions
NEW YORK (AP) — Thirty-three
stories above Manhattan, John
Malkovich is simply, utterly terrifying.
With his gangly and feral features,
shaved head and unblinking eyes,
the 44-year-old actor gives off a de
cided air of menace — like a hawk
idly amused by the scampering of a
plump, fluffy mouse.
Superb as the treacherous French
aristocrat Valmont in Dangerous Li
aisons, Malkovich added to his rogue
gallery with Mitch Leary, the presi
dential assassin of In the Line of Fire,
and Gilbert Osmond, the profligate
seducer in Portrait of a Lady.
While rehearsing a particularly
weepy scene opposite Leonardo Di-
Caprio, Jeremy Irons and Gerard De
pardieu for The Man in the Iron Mask,
Malkovich stunned his co-stars by re
peatedly bursting into tears on cue.
“I don’t dredge. I’ve always had ex
tremely easy access to whatever are
allegedly my emotions,” Malkovich
explains. “I can do that, maybe, two
or three thousand times in the
course of a day. It’s like saying, ’Can
you walk across a room and turn on
a light switch?”
Famed literature
celebrates 75th year
NEW YORK (AP) — This year,
James Joyce's “Ulysses” officially
turned 75. But for publishers, the an
niversary of one of the century’s
greatest novels is threatening to be
come a very private party.
According to American copyright
law, “Ulysses” should now be in the
public domain, which applies to
books that have completed their
75th calendar year since publication.
That means anyone who wants to re
lease “Ulysses” could do so. Out
side the United States, where laws
differ, rival editions have appeared in
previous years.
Joyceans in the United States
have waited a long time for this.
There’s still no agreement on the cor
rect text of "Ulysses,” and the copy
right expiration means differing ver
sions now can be made available.
Several publishers, including W.W.
Norton & Co. and Penguin Putnam
Inc., are hoping to put out books.
No legal action has yet been tak
en, but publishers are not anxious to
risk anything.

'Moby Dick’ comes tc
as USA Network minisi
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Captain
Ahab’s fateful clash with a whale is
the stuff of classic literature. Patrick
Stewart, who plays Ahab in the new
TV miniseries “Moby Dick,” had his
own orcan encounter recently.
Vacationing in Hawaii, the ac
tor and his fiancee, producer
Wendy Neuss, went sailing off the
island of Kauai in search of the
great creatures.
“We encountered two whales
who, for the space of nearly an hour,
breached sometimes in unison and
sometimes alone, again and again
and again,” Stewart said.
“They were bursting out of the
water, turning in the air so you
could see the underside of the
whale, so you could see those great
fins going over and crashing back
into the water.
“I swear, I felt as though we were
being greeted,” Stewart said.
The display came after the actor,
at Neuss’ urging, took off his cap
reading “New Bedford Whaling Mu
seum.” Explained Stewart: “She
thought it might be discouraging to
the whales.”
He picked up the souvenir while
researching his role in “Moby Dick,”
the USA Network adaptation of Her
man Melville’s novel. The four-hour
miniseries shows 8 to 10 p.m. EST on
Sunday and Monday.
It’s a rousing adaptation of the
stoiy of a whaling ship captain who
puts his crew at risk while obsessive
ly pursuing the white whale that
maimed him. Stewart’s Ahab is
Shakespearean in his wrath, and the
animal is a worthy adversary.
Besides Stewart, the program
boasts other impressive on- and off
screen names. Gregory Peck, who
was Ahab in the 1956 John Huston
film, has a small role as Father Map-
pie, the preacher played by Orson
Welles in the movie.
