question: NEW YORK (CNN) -- "My One and Only" begins with Renee Zellweger, playing a woman based on George Hamilton's mother Anne, discovering her husband with another woman.

Renee Zellweger plays a woman based on George Hamilton's mother in "My One and Only."

Despite the initial heartbreak, Anne puts on a happy face, and Zellweger gives life to a character who's determined to make the rest of her years comfortable and adventurous.

Her husband's indiscretion is the catalyst that sends Anne on a cross-country quest to find a new husband in 1953 America. She pulls her two sons out of school in New York City and the trio set off on an adventure by car. The tale has its roots in actor George Hamilton's young life.

The film takes a look at gender roles of the time and how women were perceived. Much of the film gets colored in by the characters and their ever-present emotions (though Zellweger's fabulous frocks add plenty of color on their own).

Zellweger, who won an Oscar for "Cold Mountain," spoke with CNN about "My One And Only," George Hamilton and the way she believes she is perceived. Watch Zellweger talk about playing Hamilton's mother "

CNN: What do you think of George Hamilton as a person now, knowing what he went through in his youth?

Renee Zellweger: I think it's so fascinating. It was probably my favorite part of this experience, discovering that this was actually his life story. I mean, who knew?

You have an idea about who a person is based on their public persona and the work that they've done. He's a spectacular actor, and his collection of parts that he's played and work that he's done is unbelievable. ... But to get to know him, he's so interesting. He's so clever, and he's very kind. Very kind.

question: Our village carpenter , John Hill, came one day and made a dining table for my wife. He made it just the right size to fill the space between the two windows. When I got home that evening, John was drinking a cup of tea and writing out his bill for the job.

My wife said to me quietly, "It's his ninth cup of tea today." But she said in a loud voice, "It is a beautiful table, dear, isn't it?"

"I will decide about that when I see the bill, " I read:

One dining table, 10 November, 1989.

Cost of wood: $17.00

Paint: $1.50

Work: 8 hours ($1 an hour) $8.00

Total: $36.50

When I was looking at the bill, John said, "It's been a fine day, hasn't it? Quite sunny." "Yes," I said, "I'm glad it is only the 10thof November."

"Me, too," said John. "You wait. It'll be a lot colder by the end of the month."

"Yes, colder.... And more expensive! Dining tables will be $20 more expensive on November 30th, won't they, John?" John looked hard at me for half a minute. Was there a little smile in his two blue eyes? I gave his bill back to him.

"If it isn't too much trouble, John," I said, "Please add it up again and you can forget the date."

I paid him $26.50and he was happy to get it.

question: BOGOTA, Colombia (CNN) -- "Easy money, fast and effective."

Investors protest outside the headquarters of DMG, one of many companies accused of defrauding the public.

That was the name of one of the businesses in which millions of Colombians deposited their life savings after being promised short-term returns of as much as 150 percent.

But government officials say the businesses were pyramid schemes that raked in at least $200 million from 3 million people.

The government has said it knows who most of those responsible are, but they have escaped. The government is tracking them down.

Sergio Munoz is among those who lost their savings.

"That was for my children," he said. "Now, it comes to light that they have robbed us. It was with complicity of the authorities who permit this -- knowing that it is illegal for it to be permitted."

The government says the businesses defrauded the public by offering false promises of a sure investment.

Wilson Rodriguez handed over the equivalent of $80,000 to a money man who offered him what he thought were assets in hotels and property in exchange.

Now, he doesn't know whom to approach.

"I don't even have enough to care for my family," he said. "I lent money and what I make from my salary goes to pay off debts. I have nothing. I lost everything."

Infuriated investors have demonstrated outside the headquarters of several companies in question across the nation.

Worried that the situation has already led to physical altercations and riots, President Alvaro Uribe asked that authorities act immediately to bring those responsible to justice.
