Features: Josh Hartnett

Josh Hartnett

Little known a year ago, Josh Hartnett is front and center with Ben Affleck and Kate Beckinsale in this summer's biggest film, Pearl Harbor, and he has another major one coming up soon, Ridley Scott's Black Hawk Down. How did a lanky Minnesota boy rise to stardom so quickly? As he tells it, the formula for success is one part pure wanderlust to three parts sheer rebelliousness.

We had a chance to sit down with Josh before the world premiere of the sure to be spectacular smash Pearl Harbor. He filled us in on how he does and does NOT resemble his angelic character, Danny. He also talked about the unknown courage people found in themselves on December 7th, 1941, and how even after making the film he still can't believe their courage.

For an in depth article with Josh Hatrnett pick up the July issue of Movieline where he will grace the front cover. It's on newstands June 15th.

The youngest of four siblings, Ricci grew up in L.A., New Jersey and Manhattan. When she was 12 and already had a blockbuster under her belt, her parents split, and she entered a dark period. Therapy and anorexia were part of her teenage years. She enjoyed walking on the wild side and speaking her mind. Shock was good; it was fun. Though she's still as opinionated as ever, Ricci is now 21 and looking at the long run. After making a rash of indies (200 Cigarettes, Pecker, Desert Blue) for which she earned several sterling reviews, she upped her star profile two years ago by starring as Johnny Depp's mysterious, alluring leading lady in Tim Burton's commercial hit Sleepy Hollow. Since then she's opened a production company, Blaspheme Films, and developed not-exactly-mainstream fare such as Prozac Nation, an adaptation of Elizabeth Wurtzel's best-seller, and Pumpkin, in which she plays a sorority girl who falls in love with a disabled boy. Both will be released later this year. This summer, she's starring as a Russian woman who romances Johnny Depp in the high-profile, classy World War II drama The Man Who Cried.

In person, Ricci seems much older than 21, though she still looks 16. She comes off as professional, polite, direct and unshakable. For the complete interview with Josh Hartnett, pick a copy of the July issue of Movieline.
