...tacky, slutty one," allows Michelle. Not that the ex-Mama (of the Mamas and the Papas) has been lounging around between films. The former offstage leading lady to ex-Papa John Phillips and Actors Dennis Hopper, Jack Nicholson and Warren Beatty, Phillips has just released her first solo album. Its title, appropriately: Victim of Romance...
