In the last few years, there have been a few actors who have multi-talented skills such as Will Smith and Jennifer Lopez. Both have appeared on TV shows and both are singers. Their fan base stretches farther than the film community. Lopez has a new movie called “Angel Eyes,” which is being marketed in the wrong direction and may leave her fans disappointed.

"Film Duds" is a testament to my love of
film and fashion. This column is meant to be humorous commentary
on the ever-changing and frequently wild relationship between
clothes and movies, celebrities and designers. Fashion and film are intrinsically
intertwined. You'll see.

DID YOU KNOW? |
Did you know Kasi Lemmons, the writer/director of EVE's BAYOU and the
director of CAVEMAN's VALENTINE, started out as an actress?
She's lensed 18 flicks and 5 TV guest spots that have ranged all over the
creative spectrum.
She got her big break as a director by convincing Samuel Jackson to attach
his name to EVE's BAYOU. If it hadn't been for his involvement the movie
never would have been made.
