...look-shaved-off eyebrows and a partly shaved scalp-does nothing to enhance his allure. Yet those are some of the changes that Makeup Artist Giannetto De Rossi, 33, has wrought to transform Sutherland into the lady-killing hero of Federico Fellini's film Casanova. In a three-hour session each morning on the set in Rome, Rossi also gives Sutherland a false chin and nose, then winds his remaining shoulder-length hair into curlers that stick out over his ears, making it difficult for him to use the telephone. "My God, is that what Casanova looked like?" asked...
...damage is incalculable," said Director Federico Fellini, after learning that color negatives from his current film had disappeared from Technicolor's vaults near Rome. The negatives, from which final prints of the movie had not yet been made, represented Fellini's first three weeks of shooting on Casanova, with Donald Sutherland and Margaret Clementi in leading roles.

By the end of the book that death proves to be literal for several; for others, it takes the symbolic form of loss of virility, humiliation or merely a return to everyday life...
...world today knows Rubinstein as an ageless wonder, the warmest of musicians, who at the age of 86 can still bring an audience to tears with his blend of drama and poetry. But in the early years of the century he was a Casanova in tails. His seemingly endless list of courtships had begun in his native Poland with a twelve-year-old girl, appropriately named Mania (he was ten at the time). Then came a staggering array of flirtations and affairs...
