Q My husband and I were
watching the movie A Bridge
Too Far. It had a very large cast.
I think a young Richard Burton
was in it, but my husband says no. Who’s right?
—Nancy Bradley. Longmont. Colo.
Your husband wins this one. The 1977 movie classic, which depict
ed an ill-fated attempt during World War 11 by Allied soldiers to
capture key bridges behind German lines, was jam-packed with an
international cast of stars, including Sean Cannery, Elliot Gould,
Gene Hackman. Laurence Olivier, Robert Redford, Michael
Caine, Dirk Bogarde, Anthony Hopkins, James Caan and Ryan
O'Neal—but no Richard Burton, who, by the way, would have
been in his early 50s at the time.
Whatever happened to Bryan White?
—Billie McDowell. Wilson. N.C.
In 1999, White—whose hit singles
include “Someone Else’s Star." "So
Much For Pretending" and "Rebecca
Lynn"—was burned out from tour
ing and recording and took some
time off. In 2000, he married One
Life to Live actress Erika Page, with
whom he now has two children.
“1 stayed creative during the time
and was fortunate to have a cut
(“Sometimes I Feel Like Elvis") on
Wynonna Judd’s last album," he savs. “Since being mar
ried and having children, I look at life through a different
lens.” He’s back on the road this summer in support of his
new album, Out of the Storm.

Q In the movie For
| rest Gump, how did they
make it look so convinc
ingly like Gary Sinise’s
character, Lt. Dan, lost
both his legs?
—Glen Ahlswede.
Eagle River, Wis.
Sinise, who now stars on TV's hit
series CSI: New York, explains that
| his legless look in Forrest Gump was
achieved by a couple of different
special-effect techniques, includ
mg a rigged wheekhair that con
cealed his legs underneath him.
Other sequences involved a spe
cial "blue-screen” process that let
the filmmakers optically remove
his legs from each shot. "There is
a special-edition DVD of Forrest
\ Gump that shows all the tech
| niques that were used," he notes.
Q Where is Connie Chung nowadays? How can
someone so good at what she does not be on TV
anymore? We miss you, Connie!
—-James Doughty. San Antonio. Texas
Chung, whose career has included stints
at all three major networks, currently
is without a TV home. Her recent
Weekends with Maury & Connie, which A
she co-hosted with husband Maury fl
Povich. was cancelled last month by fl
MSNBC. Chung ended the series M
June 17 with a song-and
dance parody of “Thanks for
the Memories," perform
ing atop a grand piano JS

gloves, surrounded by
glowing candelabra.
