...Liberty, 65-63, on two free throws by Rebecca Lobo in the last seconds. Lobo may be the biggest star in the W.N.B.A., but she's not the only one. In Phoenix, there's Australian Michele Timms, the guard known as Tank Girl for her spiked blond hair and aggressive play. And there's Lisa Leslie, the Wilhelmina model who plays center for the Sparks. And Sheryl Swoopes, who's expected to join the Houston Comets soon, now that she has given birth to a boy named Jordan after youknowwho...
...movie I would work on was a Disney film starring Richard Dreyfus and a six-foot-tall, beautiful blond, who both spent a good portion of the movie in black face and tribal garb. It had a shaky story line, a $30 million budget--modest as major studio productions go--and was filming initially in a warehouse in a deserted industrial area of Los Angeles. One of the priorities of a production assistant such as myself was to keep the set clear of interlopers and silent while filming. This included asking a variety of passers-by to reroute and walk...
...Gianni out of the picture, it falls to elder brother Santo, 53, and sister Donatella, 42, to keep the company's fashions and earnings hot. The family members are thoroughly versed in the business. Santo, an accountant by training, is the savvy CEO of the company, and the pineapple-blond Donatella, as vice president and a designer in her own right, has played an increasingly large role in matters of fashion. "Gianni was the genius, but they can still go ahead," says designer Donatella Girombelli, who gave Versace his first job in Milan...
...Fair's most disarming delight--her smart, laughing, 30-minute set began with a few dozen people watching but ended with several hundred, who gave her a standing ovation. Jewel, on the first and largest stage, was the high point. On record, her voice sometimes has a tepid blond wispiness; in concert, it has a crackling, sparks-flying, campfire warmth. Finally McLachlan, with her full band, appeared on the first stage to close out the day with a serene set that shimmered like twilight...
Some Commusicals did fit the stolid stereotype--Mikhail and Judit shouting, "Let's harvest the beet crop right here!"--but many have an enduring buoyancy. Grigori Alexandrov's pioneering The Jolly Fellows (1934) percolates with jaunty jazz, Cubist compositions and a Dietrichish blond in a party hat. The amazing Midnight Revue (G.D.R., 1962) is a comically cynical parable about the difficulty of making a musical when your producer is not Arthur Freed but a pack of philistine bureaucrats. We can't approve your film, the apparatchiks sing...
