Q: I was just watching the first "Bourne Identity" movie and was wondering what happened to the lead actress in that movie. Has she done anything since?

Franka Potente hasn't had as much post-"Bourne Identity" (2002) success as star Matt Damon. Indeed, most of her success came before.

Damon was something of a Hollywood it-boy ahead of being cast as the titular super-agent with amnesia, riding the crest of a wave of hits that included "Saving Private Ryan (1998) and "The Talented Mr. Ripley" (1999), but many forget that Potente was in much the same position.

Q: I really enjoyed watching "The Million Second Quiz" and testing my knowledge on the online game to qualify as a potential contestant. Even though it didn't have the ratings that NBC had hoped for, is there any word on whether it's coming back or not?

No, there's no word yet, and there may not be for a while.

Q: Who is Barbara Broccoli? I've seen her name on a couple of James Bond movies, but I don't think I've seen it anywhere else (and it's the sort of name you remember).

You're right, you haven't seen Barbara Broccoli's name anywhere but on Bond-film credits, because that's pretty well all she's done.

Barbara is the daughter of Albert R. Broccoli, the more prolific British film producer who co-produced the first big-screen Bond film, "Dr. No," in 1962, and backed every subsequent one until his death in 1996, at which time his daughter and stepson, Michael G. Wilson, stepped up to run the family blockbuster-producing business (officially titled EON Productions).
