READERS ASK CLOSER

Q What’s the fastest-selling album of all time?

AAs America mourned its fallen president, in December 1963, John Fitzgerald Kennedy: A Memorial Album sold 4 million copies in just the first six days after its release. Q Is it true Al Pacino wanted Glenn Close to star with him in Scarface?

ASay hello to my little friend! Al did want her to play his wife in the movie (which opened on Dec. 9, 1983), but producer Martin Bregman reportedly didn’t think she was “slutty enough.” Eventually, Michelle Pfeiffer got the part.
