Then in 1972 something equally important happened: she met Aaron Russo, 36, a New Yorker and a rock promoter. He yelled like her father, she says, and he was her lover for six months, her man ager for six years, and her Svengali all the time. "Make me a legend!" Bette told him, and he did, or almost did. Like Alan Bates, who plays Rose's tyrannical man ager in the movie, Russo dominated Bette's life and her career, in terms of the job his advice was impeccable.

Seven years ago, when she turned pro, Chris Evert was a chunky teen-ager with a pretty frown of concentration and a strong game. She still has the frown and the form but Evert, 24, now the bride of fellow Pro John Lloyd, 25, has become a lissome beauty.

He is, or should be, about as typical in looks and problems as a teen-ager can be. Except for this one quirk: though his background is middle-class and Middle Western-strictly white bread-he has taken to speaking with a heavy Italian accent. From his room comes the sound of Italian opera and language lessons, he has renamed the family cat Fellini, and induced his mother to cook what...
