She packed your lunch. Tolerated your music. And quietly looked forward to the day you'd be happily on your own. If anyone qualifies as unforgettable, it's Mom. And if there's a comedy that qualifies as hilarious, it's 'Mother.' Albert Brooks is star, co-writer and director of this comic valentine about a twice-divorced author who decided the only way to fix his relationship problems is to move back to his childhood home and solve the problems he had with the first woman in his life?Mom (Debbie Reynolds, winning raves in her first starring film role in 27 years). For laughs as only Albert Brooks can deliver, come home to 'Mother.' Also starring Rob Morrow and featuring Lisa Kudrow.

Chazz Palminteri's life is one of those classic show biz stories that, dare we say it, is the stuff from which movies are made. Born and raised in the Bronx, Palminteri toiled for years as a struggling stage, film and television actor before finally being plucked from obscurity by Robert De Niro, who saw his off-Broadway autobiographical play A Bronx Tale, a one-man show in which Palminteri played a host of colorful characters he grew up and around in his Bronx neighborhood during the 1950s and '60s, where his life was shaped by two mentors: his straight-laced working class father and a local mobster named Sonny. The movie version of A Bronx Tale was a hit with audiences and critics alike upon its premiere in 1993 and Palminteri hasn't stopped working since. His latest turn, in Debbie Goodstein's autobiographical film Mighty Fine, casts Palminteri as a Jewish businessman in early '70s New Orleans who is struggling to keep his business and family life together. Co-starring Andie MacDowell, Rainey Qualley and Jodelle Ferland, the film opens May 25. Were you partially drawn to Mighty Fine because it's a memoir?Chazz Palminteri: I guess a little bit. I was mostly drawn to it because it was written by a person who actually lived the story and knew the person that I was playing. I just like things that are more organic and real. Tell us about the three ladies that you work with.Andie, I've watched her work over many years, and I've always wanted to work with her. I thought we'd have great chemistry and we did. Her daughter Rainey and Jodelle are both two young actors and they're just terrific. How much of A Bronx Tale was fact?A lot of it was. What was fictionalized was the fact that I squashed a lot of events into a short period of time. I saw this killing when I was a young kid, just like it's shown in the movie. I had a relationship with the wiseguys in the neighborhood, threw dice with them. I dated a black girl.
