So What happened to Debra Winger? After three Oscar nominations, the star of Urban Cowboy, An Officer and a Gentleman and Terms of endearment basically retired seven years ago, at age 39.For fellow actress Rosanna Arquette, that was enough to launch a movie. Arquette decided to interview Hollywood’s top actresses to discuss the pressures and limits they face, particularly as they hit the age of 40. Her goal was to figure out what drove Winger from the business. The result — Searching for Debra Winger — is interesting for the honest responses it evokes from women like Sharon Stone, Whoopi Goldberg, Meg Ryan, Holly Hunter, Jane Fonda and Melanie Griffith, among many others.But the film could be much better organised, and Arquette has a distracting habit of rambling when she herself is on camera.To make the film, Arquette says she just picked up the phone and called women she admired. ‘‘Nobody refused,’’ she says, ‘‘and there were so many I couldn’t use because we ran out of money.’’ Another reason for France to love Allen CANNES: The French already love Woody Allen, and now he’s giving them another reason. After taking a lifetime achievement award in Cannes, Allen is planning to move to Paris this fall for six months to work on a film about the city of light. He’s one of the 20 stars — including Johnny Depp, Jean-Lucgodard and Fanny Ardant — who are collaborating on ‘Paris, Jet’ Aime (Paris, I love you). Each filmmaker will direct a segment on one of Paris’ 20 ‘‘arrondissements,’’ or districts. Allen is taking on the 8th arrondissement, home to the tree-lined Champs-Elysees and many of the city’s chic hotels. The subject: Adultery. Besides the film, Allen’s got another reason for temporarily abandoning his hometown. ‘‘My wife loves Paris,’’ he told Paris Match magazine. Cannes opened on Wednesday with the showing of Allen’s newshow-biz spoof, Hollywood Ending.’’ (Agencies)
