When Robert Redford was younger, the matinee-idol handsome actor would make it a point to give the camera his “good side,” and audiences would melt. He’s older now and makes no attempt to hide it, but then, he doesn’t need to. People don’t forget a performer like Redford, whose movie-star charisma idles low and sexy like a Harley Davidson motor even when he’s not doing anything, and that means a movie like David Lowery’s “The Old Man & the Gun” — a dapper, low-key riff on the bank-robber genre — can play things soft, counting on Redford’s charm to fuel the show.
In what the actor has indicated is likely to be his final film role, Redford plays Forrest Tucker, a certified rascal who, in 1981 at the spry age of 76, was busted for a series of small-time heists. More than 80 stick-ups, all told. Tucker was caught...

Sex and the City co-star Kristin Davis is staying in bed with HBO. Davis, who is up for Emmy honors this year for her role as the idealistic Charlotte in the final season of HBO's Sex, has inked a seven-figure series development deal with the premium cable channel. HBO plans to field pitches from a range of writers for starring vehicles for Davis. The actress is said to be leaning toward a comedy project but is open to other concepts, sources said. Davis, who has spent the past six years on Sex, most recently toplined the TNT telefilm The Winning Season along with Matthew Modine. Her other TV credits include the Fox drama Melrose Place and the telefilms Three Days, Atomic Train and Take Me Home: The John Denver Story. Davis also is set to boost her profile -- and enter the realm of celebrity spokesperson -- through a sponsorship pact that calls for her to become the new face of Maybelline New York cosmetics. Davis is repped by Endeavor, Mosaic Media Group's Dave Fleming and attorney Jason Sloane.
Sex and the City co-star Kristin Davis has been tapped as the female lead opposite Matthew Modine in the TNT telefilm The Winning Season, a Johnson & Johnson presentation. The film, based on Dan Gutman's book Honus and Me, centers on a 12-year-old baseball fan who finds a magic Honus Wagner baseball card. Through it, the boy goes back in time to the 1909 World Series, where he befriends baseball great Wagner (Modine) and his fiancee, Mandy Henton (Davis). John Kent Harrison is set to direct the movie from a script by Steven L. Bloom. The project, from Rosemont Prods., Magna Global Entertainment and Viacom Prods., is scheduled to premiere in the spring. Davis is best known for her role as wide-eyed, idealistic Charlotte York on HBO's Emmy- and Golden Globe-winning comedy series Sex and the City. Her TV credits also include the Fox series Melrose Place and the telefilms Three Days, Atomic Train and Take Me Home: The John Denver Story. Last year, Davis starred opposite Paul Rudd in the play Land of the Dead as part of the star-studded cast of Brave New World, a three-day marathon of short plays commemorating 9/11 that ran Sept. 9-11 in New York. Davis is repped by Endeavor, Mosaic Media Group's Dave Fleming and attorney Jason Sloane.
