...exercise in egomania, Paradise Alley almost puts Barbra Streisand's A Star Is Born to shame. Besides starring in the film, Stallone wrote the script (from his own novel, no less), directed it and sings the theme song. The plot, far too structurally ambitious for a novice director, is a cynical attempt to cash in on every '40s movie cliche not used in Rocky and most of those that were. Set in 1946, the story tells of three downtrodden brothers who dream of breaking out of Manhattan's impoverished Hell's Kitchen: a lame World...
...money, however, is not the goal of most marketeers. Like the Hollywood stars-Lucille Ball, Barbra Streisand, Suzanne Somers and Redd Foxx-who are chauffeured to the flea market at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, they are having fun, wheeling and dealing away an afternoon...
Movie and TV stars, including Barbra, Raquel, Zsa Zsa and Cher, trek regularly to Rodeo Drive; but most customers are not well known, just rich.

Late last month the majority of directors favored bringing him back as studio president (although stripped of his corporate posts of director and senior vice president). Hirschfield, who originally wanted to rehire Begelman only as an independent producer, finally...
...Academy Award. Now Faye hopes to click, behind smaller lenses, as a fashion photographer in Eyes. "She's beautiful and representative of the beauty and fashion world that this film is about," says Producer Jon Peters, the former hairdresser who earned his first moviemaker credits with Housemate Barbra Streisand's A Star Is Born. Eyes is now on location in New York, and the producer says he is having more fun than on his first trip to the Big Apple. He was 13 then, a California runaway who was working in a Manhattan hotel at night-tinting...
