Jeff Daniels Movie: The Squid and the Whale
Detroit News Film Critic Tom long has a profile of Michigan's most famous (or is that "only") movie star, Jeff Daniels. Daniels' new film The Squid and the Whale opens Friday. It has been receiving acclaim from critics and is the story of a New York couple's divorce and the effects it has on their kid.
Movie site for The Squid and the Whale Note: if you read the comments, you'll find that a helpful reader has listed about 40 movie stars (including Lily Tomlin, James Earl Jones and Charlton Heston) who could certainly give Jeff a run for his money. In my defense, I just picked up the article's sub-headline
Comments:
"Most famous movie star" (or maybe just 'best') is probably most apt - how can we forget about Tom Selleck, Steven Seagal, Matthew Lillard and Diana Ross, to name a few.

Can we call Tom Selleck a movie star? The sub-head of the article actually reads Michigan's most famous (only) movie star ignites a new career

I had no idea that some of these folks (Lily Tomlin for example) were from Michigan. # posted by farlane : 2:13 PM
