...Angeles stage revival of the musical Sweet Charity. "Acting and modeling are the same kind of thing," she contends. "Instead of projecting to a camera, you have to project to a live audience. The main thing is the addition of words." Right. Also, don't forget to take your bow...
Adorned in a flowing blue robe and matching skullcap, Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh stepped out of a Portland courthouse last week into one of his sect's 93 Rolls-Royces and was whisked to the airport. After a quick wave and a bow to disciples from his 1,300-member commune, the guru, who had lived in the U.S. since 1981, boarded a chartered airplane and departed for his native India.

The man, with machine gun poised to fire, represents civilization and its discontents; the boy, his bow and arrow taut, seems very much the noble savage painted in jungle pastels. In Deliverance, Zardoz, Exorcist II: The Heretic and Excalibur, Boorman set these same elemental antagonists, intellect and instinct, on a collision course. Here, though, he has added a crucial twist. Tomme (Charley Boorman) is the man's son, abducted by a Brazilian Indian tribe...
