Knock, Knock: Stephen Baldwin, You Owe $350,000 In Tax
By Michael West in Lifestyle / Showbiz on 07 December 2012
Stephen Baldwin, the Hollywood actor still best known for The Usual Suspects, has pleaded not guilty to failure to file personal income tax returns. Rockland County District Attorney Thomas Zugibe said Mr Baldwin, 46, owes more than $350,000 in tax and penalties, according to BBC News.
Prosecutors say the actor may face up to four years in prison if convicted. "We cannot afford to allow wealthy residents to break the law by cheating on their taxes. The defendant's repetitive failure to file returns and pay taxes over a period of several years contributes to the sweeping cutbacks and closures in local government and in our schools," said Zugibe. Mr Baldwin is accused of failing to pay state personal income taxes from 2008 to 2010, though the actor argues that he had poor financial representation at the time in question. His lawyer, Russell Yankwit, insisted the actor "did not commit any crimes", adding that he was "working with the district attorney's office and the New York State Tax Department to resolve any differences." Stephen is the youngest brother of the Baldwin acting dynasty, which includes William, Daniel and Alec, the most successful. He filed for bankruptcy in 2009 with legal papers suggesting he owed $1.2 million on two mortgages, $1 million in taxes and $70,000 on credit cards.
Baldwin is probably sweating a little, given fellow Hollywood star Wesley Snipes was imprisoned for tax evasion in 2010. The Blade Runner star is due for release from a Pennsylvanian prison in July 2013.

Grey Gardens (2009) Review
By Bill Gibron
Extraordinary
Most serious film fans know the story of Grey Gardens: how documentarians Albert and David Maysles were investigating the life of Jackie Kennedy Onassis's sister Lee Radziwill for a film and stumbled upon the unforgettable duo of Edith Bouvier Beale and her daughter Little Eddie; how it took a year of "convincing" before the women would allow them to film in their manor; how the resulting motion picture turned the plight of these discarded society matrons into the stuff of living legend; and how since the movie's success, the Beales' story has been adapted into books, a Broadway musical, and a stage play. Now HBO puts its spin on the material, bringing Jessica Lange and Drew Barrymore to the small screen for the TV version of this intriguing tale -- and it's also amazing, just like the subjects.
When they are approached by the Maysles (Arye Gross, Justin Louis) about making a movie of their life, Big Edith Beale (Lange) and her daughter Little Edie (Barrymore) are a tad suspicious. After all, they have let few people in their decaying Hamptons home, and the last time anyone showed up, it was the county health inspector threatening to condemn the mansion. Intrigued by the idea of being in a movie however, the duo agree, and soon we are whisked back to the days when Big Edith suffered through her straight-laced husband Phelan (Ken Howard) as Little Edie wooed Truman Cabinet member Julius Krug (Daniel Baldwin). As she ages, the sullen matriarch wants more freedom. Instead, she becomes a virtual recluse in her home, calling on her jet-setting offspring to come home and care for her. Thanks to relative Jackie Onassis (Jeanne Tripplehorn), they have enough money to live on. But their life is still one of misguided dreams and internalized strife.
