Her work -- which totaled four dozen stories and appeared in three collections over the course of Paley's 84 years -- was adapted for the screen in the 1982 film Enormous Changes at the Last Minute. Three acclaimed female filmmakers -- Mirra Bank, Muffie Meyer, and Ellen Hovde -- joined forces with adapters Susan Rice and John Sayles to create an omnibus film based on three tales by Paley. The feature premiered to critical kudos in 1983; it starred Kevin Bacon and Ellen Barkin. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi
