--------------- New/Updated Features --------------

**A Tribute to Brigitte Bardot**
Brigitte Bardot turns 74 this month. Here's another look at the
updated tribute originally created in 1999 when both she and Sophia
Loren were 65.

**A Tribute to Mickey Rooney**
Joe Yule, Jr. was a baby of 18 months when he first appeared on stage,
and about 8 decades later he's still hamming it up for the fans. Only
now he's known as Mickey Rooney, and he turns 88 years old on
September 23, 2008.

**A Tribute to Sophia Loren**
She hasn't lost a thing after 6 decades in the business. The only
woman ever to win an acting Oscar for a foreign language film is still
a sex symbol at age 74!

**A Tribute to Greta Garbo**
Probably no other star in the history of Hollywood has been wrapped in
so much mystery as Greta Garbo. Her fans worship her. Many newer
moviegoers don't even know her work, though they've heard her name.

**A Tribute to Anne Bancroft**
Anne Bancroft was the star of "The Miracle Worker" and "The Graduate,"
offering two iconic and highly praised portrayals of very different
people.

**A Tribute to Roddy McDowall**
The beloved character actor appeared in 150 films during a 60-year
career.

**A Tribute to Lauren Bacall**
She became an instant legend at the age of 20, and is still inspiring
and entertaining us at the age of 84.

**A Tribute to Jackie Cooper**
Wishing a happy birthday to the former Little Rascal and living legend
who became the only person under the age of 18 ever to be nominated
for a Best Actor Oscar.
