April 1997: "The Sorrow and the Pity"

"Almost none of the actors in the movie have a character to play, and they all look desperate and uncomfortable, as if they know they should be thrilled to be in a Woody Allen movie but they can't remember why; they all seem to have little, invisible Post-it Notes on their foreheads that read HELP ME!"

November 1992: "School for Scandal"

Although this column falls within the five-year period covered by Libby's 1994 book, If You Ask Me, it didn't make the cut. Too scandalous, maybe?

"Bridget stars in the recent thriller Single White Female; my dear friend Stacy Schiff says they stole the title from her tombstone. Bridget costars with Jennifer Jason Leigh; both girls look about 21, so Woody would probably consider this a Jessica Tandy film."
