That beauty in the chic safari hat and Paris finery is Actress Ursula Andress, 40, on location in Rhodesia, for her new film Safari Express. A comedy spoof of 1950s jungle pictures, the movie shows Ursula as a geologist's assistant who karate-chops her way back to civilization while mussing nary a hair. On the screen, that is. "I worked like hell," protests the actress. "All that fighting! I think I am going to send them a bill as a stunt woman."

She made her debut with the Hamburg Opera in 1910, four years later with the Vienna Opera, where she created several roles for her friend Richard Strauss, and in 1934 with the Metropolitan. Notable among her 100 roles were her yielding Sieglinde in Die Walküre, her devout Elisabeth in Tannhäuser and, most outstanding...
After playing a twelve-year-old hooker in Taxi Driver, a child murderess in Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane and a gangster's moll in Bugsy Malone, Actress Jodie Foster is finally cleaning up her act. Her new role: a tomboy heiress in a Walt Disney kid flick titled Candleshoe. Now on location at Stratford-upon-Avon, Foster has been skate boarding for fun and profiting from her work on the set with Co-Stars David Niven and Helen Hayes. "I don't feel comfortable working with children," pipes Foster, 13, who appeared with some...
