...quartet that created such euphonious superhits as Monday, Monday and California Dreamin'. When the group broke up in 1968, the Earth Motherly (5 ft. 5 in., as much as 250 Ibs.) Elliot embarked on a successful solo career. More than 300 people, including such luminaries as Carol Burnett, Peter Lawford and now divorced ex-Mama and Papa Michelle and John Phillips, attended the Hollywood funeral...

...times of my childhood." Matthau's son Charlie, 10, was crowned King of the Circus. Then came the grand parade of elephants with spangled riders led off by Sonny and Cher and their daughter Chastity, 4, who was crowned Queen of the Circus. Star after star -from Carol Burnett to Jimmy Stewart-rode once around the ring, helping to raise $25,000 for the S.S. Hope, a floating clinic full of doctors who sail the seas to teach medicine in underdeveloped countries...
