Independence is about a young Shakespearean actor who decides to rob a bank on his way to a wedding, and drags four of his pals along for the heist. Cain plays an ex-Marine who's one of the buddies. What you don't know is that Cain's Independence character is gay. A rather daring choice for one's feature debut. But Cain's spokesperson says his client isn't worried about being typecast.
Actors play other people.
At least that's what the folks at Discover thought when they invited Anthony Quinn and Patrick Ewing to paint designs for Discover's new line of Private Issue credit cards. The Private Issue, you'll recall, is the card that debuted a year ago festooned with original artwork from Ringo Starr, Florence Griffith Joyner, and Jane Seymour. As for Seymour, her floral watercolor proved so popular that it's back for a second year. And that rounds out the new Discover card collection. We think it's wonderful that Patrick, Anthony, and Jane like to paint.
