What's $800m got to do with it?
Article Abstract:
Former model Anna Nicole Smith continues to pursue her claim against the estate of her late husband, oil tycoon J. Howard Marshall II, whom she married when she was 26 and he was 89. If she is successful, she could receive $800 million, half of her late husband's estimated worth at the time of his death. Mixed views have been expressed about whether she simply married Marshall for his money or whether they really loved each other and he preferred to spend his money on her than on his two sons, whom he professed, at different times, to hate.

Show me the money
Article Abstract:
Film production company Miramax, owned by brothers Bob and Harvey Weinstein, is undertaking extensive promotional work in the run-up to the 1999 Oscars. In mid-1998, it appeared that 'Saving Private Ryan' would be the most successful film in the 1999 Oscars, but the Weinsteins are determined that 'Shakespeare in Love,' which was first shown in early Dec 1998, and 'Life is Beautiful' will be strong competitors to 'Saving Private Ryan.' Miramax's marketing strategy has led to a record 23 Oscar nominations in 1999.
