Up Close & Personal (film)
''Up Close & Personal'' is a 1996 American romantic drama film directed by Jon Avnet, and starring Robert Redford as a news director and Michelle Pfeiffer as his protégée, with Stockard Channing, Joe Mantegna, and Kate Nelligan in supporting roles. The screenplay began as an adaptation of ''Golden Girl: The Story of Jessica Savitch'', a 1988 book by Alanna Nash that recounted the troubled life of American news anchor Jessica Savitch.

The plural form "people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its use as a plural form of per ...
