...gets lessons in precision ecstasy from handy Dennis Quaid. A Barkin heroine will tussle with any man on even terms, perhaps to the death. In Mary Lambert's gorgeous, complex ghost story Siesta, Barkin is already dead, but that cannot stop her from a convulsive rendezvous with the aerialist of her dreams. Or from looking sensational in a stop-light red dress and a body sculpted by daily workouts. These two films, though, were cult objects for cinephiles and discriminating voyeurs. It took Sea of Love, which earned $40 million in its four weeks, to make her a pricey Hollywood...
...Sudbury with another train from Toronto before setting out toward the west, along a 2,800-mile route. It plows across the vast prairies of Saskatchewan, where wheat and canola fields stretch from horizon to horizon. Then it is on to the Rockies, along ledges that would make an aerialist faint. It presses near the old Calamity Curve, through the Jaws of Death Gorge and, lest passengers have failed to get the message, into the Devil's Caldron...

Moira Loter, bareback rider, aerialist, jackie-of-all-trades: "I've lived in a house. You always want to go back on the road." Carlos Bautista, whose family, when not being catapulted off a teeterboard, performs, according to the alliterative program, as "jaunty juggling juggernauts displaying dazzling dexterity": "This is what my father taught...
MARRIED. Miguel Vazquez, 18, the world's greatest trapeze artist and the only aerialist ever to execute a quadruple somersault; and Rosa Segrera, 21, his flying partner; both for the first time; in Venice, Fla., the winter home of the Ringling Bros, and Barnum & Bailey Circus. After a Roman Catholic ceremony, a circus parade, including elephants, tigers and clowns, wound its way to an arena where the newlyweds climbed the trapeze for their first flight as husband and wife. They rode off atop an elephant wearing flower garlands and a JUST MARRIED sign...
