Name File: Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio and Mimi Rogers will play the female leads in “White Sands,” Morgan Creek’s upcoming thriller that starts production Friday in New Mexico. They’ll be starring opposite Willem Dafoe and Mickey Rourke. . . . Nick Nolte says in McCall’s magazine that his post-filming routine is not what it once was. “I used to decompress by celebrating on a two-week bender. I guess it was the Steinbeck influence. You know, ‘Never trust a man who doesn’t drink.’ Now when I finish, I work in my garden,” he says.
