Alan Parker On Madonna from Today's New York Times

Of Course,
Evita Was Gangsta

ALAN PARKER, director of "The Life of David Gale," was at the Regency Hotel to promote the film. The death row thriller stars KEVIN SPACEY, LAURA LINNEY and KATE WINSLET, all of whom Mr. Parker said, were "three great actors" and "three decent people."

"Someone like Kate Winslet thinks of herself exactly the same way as she does the cinematographer," Mr. Parker said. "When they're that nice and that easy, it just makes the process more enjoyable."

Tell us about the actors who weren't so nice.

"Oh, no," Mr. Parker said.

He gave it away in a television documentary, when he described MADONNA, whom he directed in "Evita," as "interesting and challenging."

"Madonna?" Mr. Parker said. "Oh! Madonna was very nice to me. She was horrendous to everyone else. But I mean, it wasn't her world. You know, we work ridiculous hours. We work a 14-hour day, a six-day week. And we work in incredible cold and wet conditions. It's never near as glamorous as people think."

So was he gloating when "Swept Away" was such a disaster?

Mr. Parker turned away trying to hide a smile.

"I can't be blamed," he said. "You can only blame her husband."
