Connie Crabtree showcased her culinary reputation as an innovative chef while owning and operating several intimate and casual restaurants on and off for more than 30 years. Today, she has swapped the daily restaurant grind for that of a successful and much in demand caterer. In 1973, with the help of several friends, the former Towson State College and Maryland Institute student opened Cacao Lane, a funky informal French restaurant, in Ellicott City. "The menu changed every day because we didn't have a freezer and entrees were chalked up on a blackboard," said Crabtree, with a laugh, from her Federal Hill catering company.

Connie Nielsen is probably best known as Lucilla, Russell Crowe's love in Gladiator. But the stunning, Danish-born actress' resume includes big-budget films (The Devil's Advocate, Basic), indies (One Hour Photo, Brothers) and TV (she subbed for Law & Order: SVU's Mariska Hargitay during her recent maternity leave). That, and she's the live-in girlfriend of Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich. The actress' latest film is the Iraq war drama The Situation. The Situation is about the Iraq war. Brothers is about Afghanistan.

Hit by falling art sales and a sluggish economy, a once-thriving Baltimore gallery and frame shop that made its reputation promoting local artists and cultivating new collectors for their works will close in December after nearly 16 years in business. The Gomez Gallery, 3600 Clipper Mill Road in Hampden, which during the 1990s helped establish the careers of such artists as Connie Imboden, Soledad Salame, Nancy Scheinman, Joan Erbe and Deborah Donelson, will go out of business after its final exhibition of Imboden's photographs ends Dec. 15. Walter Gomez, the Venezuela-born artist-entrepreneur who founded the gallery in 1988 with business partner Gary Knight, and who has run it as sole proprietor since 1992, said sales in recent years were down 40 percent from their high in the booming art market of the 1990s.

Simpson case spun out a huge cast of characters, she remained in the peripheral world of the tabloids.But now, with a giant assist from Judge Lance Ito, who urged potential jurors to avoid Ms. Resnick's new book about Mrs. Simpson and beseeched television figures like Larry King and Connie Chung not to talk with her, Ms. Resnick has strutted onto center stage.
