Beatty's soaring spirit infected the Reds crew, from Cinematographer Vittorio Storaro to Production...

...American family has weathered the Bunkers and the Louds. It has endured the departures of sweet Kristy McNichol and, after this season, Little House's Melissa Gilbert, and kept another charmer, Marilyn Jones of ABC'S upcoming series King's Crossing, on hold.
