Is There a Best Actress Relationship Curse?

by Joyce Eng

For many best-actress Oscar winners, the award has been a bad-luck charm for matters of the heart.

"It's a very sensitive issue," helmer Taylor Hackford tells the News. "[Talk of a casting category] will cause dissension in the ranks."read more
