I like The Postman, and I expected the article to start with Streisand.
Other than that.....more than a few grains of truth.

When Laurence Olivier directed himself in Sheakespeare movies, could that be called vanity? Since he played the flashiest and juiciest parts himself. Not downplaying their historical values!
When Barbra Streisand begun directing herself (I think it was Yentl), something in the back of my head tells me it was because she was so impossible to work with, she had to direct them herself.
Orson Welles I've heard and read, more or less took over directing all scenes he was in even if he was only hired as an actor, in all kinds of movies over the years, without getting credits. With one exception, directing scenes that didn't involve himself, The Southern Star 1969, where he stepped in and did a few action scenes when the original director got sick. That move could be because he was always short of money and didn't wan't the production to close down or be post-poned.
I wished Gran Torino with Clint would have been is last acting role and farewell, beacuse it would have been a descent farewell.
Great article, by the way.
