I spent last week in Rockport, Mass., which initially seems as far from Hollywood as you can get, both geographically and psychologically. Settled in the 1620s, it's a former fishing village northeast of Boston on the tip of Cape Ann.

It's now full of quaintly rickety fish shacks, art galleries and ice-cream shops, and the empty quarries have become spookily sensual swimming holes. But the more I hung around, the more I realized that Hollywood's tentacles reach, and are eagerly embraced, everywhere.
