(Treasure Sanchez is a Manhattan go-getter that has always...)
Treasure Sanchez is a Manhattan go-getter that has always hustled to maintain a lifestyle that is luxurious, licentious, and larcenous. She is the leader of a three girl clique. The other members are Gee Gee, a loud mouthed materialistic hot mess and Crystal, a not-so pretty promiscuous plaything for men. They are pulled into an out-of-state drug hustle by Treasure’s newly released on and off again boyfriend, Homicide—whom is everything his name suggests and more. Homicide has a younger cousin named Gangsta that he takes upstate with him to mentor along with two of his henchmen, Gamble and Ike. They pop up in Utica, New York where things get pretty thick quick when they encounter a number of local brothers that hustle together who have a weak spot for white women that costs them dearly. Also the young guns that prove to be very deadly are not so young at all. In the mist of all the murder and mayhem, friendships are tested and torn apart. When a number of bodies drop, Homicide decides to spread. Unfortunately, it’s a little too late to make a clean get-a-way, so he and Treasure are forced to decide on life or death of a close friend. They do this with the police closing in and the empire they have built crumbling down all around them.

She was called the most beautiful woman in the world, but Elizabeth Taylor was far more than a pretty face—she was one of the greatest actresses the movies have ever known. From her first success in National Velvet when she was just 12 years old, to her stunning performances in A Place in the Sun, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, and Suddenly, Last Summer to her Oscar-winning role in Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? and beyond—Elizabeth Taylor showed herself to be a force to be reckoned with. Elizabeth Taylor: Her Place in the Sun is a film retrospective that spans her 70-year career, featuring production histories, “behind-the-scenes” stories, and reviews for each film. Featuring hundreds of rare photos, it’s a dazzling tribute to Elizabeth Taylor, the film star.

Mornay, Rebecca De was born on August 29, 1962 in Santa Rosa, California, United States. Daughter of Richard and Julie De Mornay.
Studied at Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute, Los Angeles with Kristin Linklater.
So The Hand That Rocks the Cradle (92, Curtis Hanson) may be as good as it gets: an unashamed, expert potboiler, yet founded in unusual psychological interest, with the barbs on Hanson's script depending on the authenticity and precision of the actress. (Hanson may have been expressly cunning in setting up De Mornay and Anabella Sciorra as mother and nanny—thus De Momay has a serenity and Sciorra a breathless ineptness that seem wrong, but very revealing.) Of course. De Momay can only hint at poignant derangement in the nanny, and only make a hit more of many moments than they deserve. The project does not begin to grasp unity or development, and so the actress’s very epiphanies ensure our final disappointment, just as they surely give energy to the character’s climactic malice. Good actresses do deserve better people to play.
De Mornay had a European upbringing (another subtle undercurrent against the mainstream as well as an education at the Lee Stras- berg Institute. She was a sharp, funny, and utterly memorable customer in One From the Heart (82. Francis Coppola) and then a kid’s dream in Risky Business (83, Paul Brickman). That first smash hit was just as unreal and acute as Cradle, and it employed the same faintly dreamy or distracted distance in the actress’s performance. In the process, she reduced maybe 90 percent of the male audience to the level of Tom Cruise's dreams.
She was in Testament (85, Lynne Littman); hardly recognizable but valiant and fierce in Runaway Train (85, Andrei Konchalovsky); she was the utility infielder actress in The Slugger's Wife (85, Hal Ashby); she was allowed to be an actress in The Trip to Bountiful (85, Peter Masterson)— can you remember? She faced up to “necessary career choices” in And God Created Woman (87, Roger Vadim); and has to take responsibility for Feds (88, Dan Goldberg) and Dealers (89, Colin Bucksey). She was also in Backdraft (91, Ron Howard); Blind Side (93, Geolf Murphv); Guilty as Sin (93, Sidney Lumet); and The Th ree Musketeers (93, Stephen Herek).
Most of her later work has been for TV only, and it’s not verv distinguished: Getting Out (94, John Korty); Never Talk to Strangers (95, Peter Hall); The Winner (96, Alex Cox); Wendy in the TV version of The Shining (97, Mick Garris); The Con (98, Steven Schachter); Thick as Thieves (99, Scott Sanders); Night Ride Home (99, Glenn Jordan); A Table for One (99, Ron Senkowski); Range of Motion (00, Donald Wrye); The Right Tempta¬tion (00, Lyndon Chubbuck); Salem Witch Trials (01, Joseph Sargent).

Ms. De Mornay is a sumptuous, pale-eyed blonde whose intelligence gives her a decided edge of coolness, or of thinking about something else. Of course, in great roles—as Hedda Gabler, Elektra, or Blanche DuBois—her looks and her mind might close together with a very satisfying click. But the possibility remains that her intelligence may be a little bewildered or daunted by her beauty—indeed, it may be provoked by it. As a unified woman, she could prove a little less mysterious—not that Hollvwood is likely to challenge her in the roles.
Married Bruce Wagner, 1989 (divorced 1990). Married Patrick O'Neal. 2 children.
