Today's Entertainment

BY JACQUELINE CUTLER What did you have for dinner last night? ���Soup at home. It was homemade. My girlfriend made chicken minestrone. I got home late from Cincinnati. It is freezing in New York. I was tired and just wanted to take a shower and put on pajamas, and it was delicious and perfect.��� What is your next project? ���I am continuing to finish the season of ���Chef Wanted,��� then I go to the Miami food and wine festival. That is so fun. It���s like spring break for chefs.��� If it seems as if you are seeing an awful lot of Anne Burrell lately, you���re right. She���s on three Food Network shows ��� ���Chef Wanted With Anne Burrell,��� ���Worst Cooks in America��� and ���Secrets of a Restaurant Chef.��� Her friendly face, surrounded by an electric cloud of platinum, is rather ubiquitous these days. ���I know it is getting to the point where I am almost sick of me,��� she says. ���I have gotten texts (containing photos) from friends, one of a billboard, one on a taxi. I was in a taxi yesterday, and there���s me. And I open Entertainment Weekly, and there���s me. I am everywhere, and I am tired of me. I walk into the airport bathroom, and there is me in the mirror. I am just happy it is a good picture. It is super exciting and thrilling and wow!��� She���s talking from the Houston airport, en route home to New York. She travels the country for ���Chef Wanted��� on Thursdays, where she puts chefs through tests with the goal of getting them hired in restaurants. Burrell acknowledges that she learns from the other chefs. Despite being pros, the chefs make mistakes such as not researching the restaurant where they want to work. ���Why are you going to try out for a job if you don���t want a job at that restaurant?��� she asks. ���It is a job interview. It is a hard thing we are putting you through.��� On ���Worst Cooks,��� the most common mistake Burrell cites is the same ��� people who do no research. ���Every season I always think I am mentally prepared for it, and I forgot how bad people are, and I am shocked every single time,��� she says. ���The part that gets me the most is when people know they are bad, but they don���t consult a cookbook. How are you supposed to know? If I don���t know how to do something I will look it up.��� BY JAY BOBBIN Vivien Leigh and Clark Gable cutline Peter Lorre, Humphrey Bogart Marlon Brando and and Sydney cutline Eva Marie Saint cutline Greenstreet 8 ���Gone With the Wind��� (1939) It isn���t easy to narrow down the Academy Award winners for best picture to a tighter list, but it surely must include the forever-beloved saga of Rhett Butler and Scarlett O���Hara (Clark Gable, Vivien Leigh). ���Casablanca��� (1943) Another all-time great, this mix of espionage, romance, Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman is legendary for being made ���on the fly.��� ���On the Waterfront��� (1954) Director Elia Kazan���s gritty drama of bosses versus dockworkers boasts a stunning performance by Marlon Brando. ���The Apartment��� (1960) This seriocomic classic from director Billy Wilder casts Jack Lemmon as an office drone who lends his apartment to his bosses for their dalliances ��� until the elevator operator he adores (Shirley McLaine) becomes one of those dallied with there. ���Lawrence of Arabia��� (1962) Epic in every way, this masterpiece from director David Lean made stars of both Peter O���Toole and Omar Sharif. ���The Sound of Music��� (1965) One of the greatest of musicals features Julie Andrews as Maria, the spirited new governess to the singing Von Trapp family. ���In the Heat of the Night��� (1967) A brilliant example of social relevance merging with moviemaking, this murder mystery explores bigotry through the uneasily paired lawmen played by Sidney Poitier and best actor winner Rod Steiger. ���The Godfather��� (1972) Standing very tall among movies about mobsters, Francis Ford Coppola���s profile of the Corleone family later took another best picture Oscar for its ���Part II.��� ���The Sting��� (1973): Paul Newman and Robert Redford again make a fabulous team as con men vengefully swindling an underworld boss (Robert Shaw). ���Kramer vs. Kramer��� (1979) Dustin Hoffman is compelling in every moment of this drama of a deserted parent having to become a fully responsible father. ���Schindler���s List��� (1993) A war profiteer (Liam Neeson) ���buys��� the safety of Holocaust prisoners in Steven Spielberg���s stark, profoundly moving drama. ���Titanic��� (1997) The James Cameron-directed saga of a love story unfolding amid one of the most legendary sea disasters has continued its popularity, as proved by its recent 3-D refitting.
