Anthony Hopkins Noun 1. Anthony Hopkins - Welsh film actor (born in 1937)
Sir Anthony Hopkins, Sir Anthony Philip Hopkins, Hopkins
, who announced this month that he was quitting the movie biz, has taken on a much younger, blondish woman he refuses to ID, noting that it's ``nobody's business.''

How about wife of 24 years, Jenni?

``My wife knows,'' the actor insists. ``We have an understanding. She is fully aware that I am a reckless wanderer. We are not planning to divorce yet.'' Nor does he see going the distance with the current distraction.

``It is not a complicated relationship,'' said Hopkins, 60. ``I don't think I will be with my new lady for a long period of time. I am a loner loner Psychiatry A single young man estranged from society and family, who suffers from psychogenic pain, and tends to live 'on the edge', vacillating between aggression and depression; loners often have unrealistic goals, but are unable to work towards those goals  by nature. I am not a gregarious person and prefer my own company.''

Big pay cut Nolte's price for freedom

Nick Nolte Nicholas King Nolte (born February 8, 1941) is an Academy Award-nominated American actor, model, and producer. Biography
Early life
Nolte was born in Omaha, Nebraska, the son of Helen (née King), a department store buyer, and Franklin Nolte, a farmer's son who
 is getting some of the best notices of his career, but his paychecks aren't earning many raves.

``I'm going broke - compared to the lifestyle I was living,'' the actor said in Sunday's New York Daily News New York Daily News

. ``The biggest paydays I get now are $250,000 (or) half a million. I used to make six or seven million. But that was a terrible trap for me. I hated those experiences.''

Nolte says he decided several years ago to avoid big studio pictures in favor of more meaningful roles. Those parts include Col.

As for directing, Nolte says, not a chance.

``When I was young, I wanted to. But now I realize I don't have the constitution for it,'' he said. ``I'm too emotional and too flippy (storage) flippy - /flip'ee/ A single-sided floppy disk altered for double-sided use by addition of a second write-notch, so called because it must be flipped over for the second side (the "flip side") to be accessible.

Walters remembers husbands sequence

Barbara Walters gives a rare rundown of her three husbands in TV Guide this week.

Says of No. 1, Robert Henry Katz: ``I wouldn't know him if I met him.'' Says the union was so brief - a year - that ``my father didn't think it should be on the record.''

She remained post-nups friendly with No. 2, Lee Guber, until his death 10 years ago. Says No. 3, movie producer Merv Adelson, wasn't happy in New York - her favorite - and she didn't like it in California and Colorado - his favorites.

As for current familiar, Sen. John Warner, R-Va., she doesn't see him as No. 4 timber. ``I love John,'' said the TV star. ``He loves me. But it is a different thing. It is a long, very close friendship.''

Love letters give glimpse into Victoria's secret romance

A cache of love letters exchanged between Queen Victoria and her gamekeeper, John Brown, have been discovered in a trunk in the attic In the Attic can refer to:
  • In The Attic (webcast)
  • In the Attic (band)
 of a home in Scotland, the Times of London reported Monday. The relationship between the British monarch and her servant was the basis of the 1997 movie ``Mrs. Brown,'' and its executive producer, Douglas Rae, said filmmakers had been given access to the letters, which were found in the home of a Brown descendant near Balmoral Castle, the royal estate in Scotland.

``We sat and read all the correspondence between Victoria and Brown, and there is no doubt in my mind they were written by two people who were very, very close and shared an intimate relationship,'' Rae said. ``We even found a Valentine card from the queen which read, `To my best friend JB from his best friend VR.'' Victoria Regina, or VR, is how the queen often signed her name. Among the letters were photos of the couple. The relationship flourished during Victoria's long mourning for the death of Prince Albert. She never wed again and died a widow.

There was no info on the Brown descendant who told Rae of the letters except that she found them hidden in her sister's home and is now living in Canada. Rae said filmmakers were allowed to use background material gleaned from the letters, but details were kept secret.

``The family has decided nothing will be made public while the present members of the royal family . . . are still alive,'' Rae said.

The Times gave no dates for the letters, nor offered any explanation as to why Brown's descendants kept them secret.
