It is a testament to the awe-inspiring power of Aerosmith’s 1998 smash “I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing” - the band’s only no. “I wonder if he still - maybe he still feels that way,” Warren muses of Brolin, lovelorn insomniac and father of Thanos. “So I do that a lot.” And a few months later, when director Michael Bay needed a pop song to anchor his new movie, a modest little indie called Armageddon, Warren set to work crafting a hymn worthy of both that song title and the literal end of the world. “I love a good title,” Warren told me in mid-June, some two decades after the fact.

In 1997, the über-diva and her new fiancé, the actor James Brolin, snuggled on a couch opposite Barbara Walters for an enormously sweet 20/20 report on the fearsome intensity of their young love and the finer points of their nightly cuddling routine. It began, as our greatest cultural artifacts must all begin, with Barbra Streisand.
