...women out there?" Set to the strain-free strains of Switched on Swing, Reynolds' entry into the market is geared for the 40-plus cellulite set-"Call them 39 and holding," she says politely. To help illustrate her way of holding, a few of the actress's chums, including Teri Garr, Virginia Mayo, Jaye P. Morgan, Rose Marie and Shelley Winters showed up to film part of the video. For the plumpish Winters, even Reynolds' laid-back style of lard burning prompted a display of distress. "Shelley is a dramatic actress," shrugs Reynolds. "She agonizes over everything...
...hard sell: the first nude TV commercial in the U.S. The 30-second, $40,000 spot premiered last week on the cable USA Network and Cable Health Network, which together reach about 15 million subscribers. Starring in the eye-catching advertisement is Deborah Diehl, 25, a New York City actress whose previous appearances include an off-off-Broadway production of Henry IV, work as an extra in Francis Coppola's upcoming Cotton Club and TV plugs for Paterson Silks and Pergament paint. How does she feel about peddling panties in the buff? "It's not exactly Shakespeare," says...
Indian cuisine, one of the world's richest, is poorly represented in print and on restaurant row. So voyage to India with Madhur Jaffrey and Indian Cooking (Barren's; $7.95).

But Snider tells her "we can't go back," and Fosse would surely agree that the girl from next door can't go home again, because he presents no alternatives to the cruel world of entertainment he has been obsessed with since his first film, Caboret. At one point Snider visits a carnival with Dorothy's sister Eileen (Lisa Gordon), and they both seem happy riding the merry-go-round and eating gobs of cotton candy...
...York Times wrote, "The story of Dorothy Stratten is pathetic, but only another Playboy model might find it tragic." Anyone who sees the movie will detect the narrowness of his statement. During the last scene, when Dorothy removes her clothes and lamely offers herself to her lunatic husband/captor, actress Mariel Hemingway (who portrays her) virtually redefines the word "heartbroken": Her eyes and posture convey the sudden wisdom, tragic in its belatedness, of a naive individual who finally realizes that she has not been loved at all, but only used. To dismiss Stratten's murder just because she journeyed into...
