DIRECTOR CAMERON Crowe's current effort, "Vanilla Sky," has nothing to do
with rock 'n' roll, unlike his hit "Almost Famous." But the ex-Rolling Stone
scribe can't resist paying homage to his first career. Two paintings seen in
the apartment of Tom Cruise's "Vanilla Sky" character were painted by
singer/songwriter Joni Mitchell. The "borrowed" paintings are called "Ice
Offering" and "Edmonton," after the Canadian city where Joni's relatives
live. The great folk singer trained classically as a painter.
And, did you know the cameo performance of Tom Cruise's editor in "Vanilla
Sky," is played by the real life editor of Jane magazine, Jane Pratt?
