Rene Russo and Pierce Brosnan at the ‘Thomas Crown’ premiere

Rene Russo (left, without stubble) stands arm-in-arm with Pierce Brosnan as they attend the premier of The Thomas Crown Affair in Los Angeles on July 27, 1999. While both are wonderful and talented actors, this was a terrible remake that is a pale shadow of the original and, frankly, never should have been imagined, much less attempted.
