Colin Firth and wife Livia arrive at the Paris Theater in New York for the premiere of The Importance of Being Earnest. Also attending from the cast were Reese Witherspoon and Frances O'Connor and director Oliver Parker. Interviewed by the press, Firth said his role had been very different from other costume dramas he had starred in. "There's nothing like taking something that has an over-revered quality to it and realising that all it is is fun," he said. He told Cindy Adams that he's finally beginning to get recognized. "It's just sort of starting to happen a bit. Mostly what takes place is, when I walk along the streets in New York, just as I go past, one person will elbow his friend with, 'Look, there's . . . oh, you know . . . it's . . . whatsisname.'" |
