...most durable moths of Manhattan society, Nightlifer Hope Hampton, 60 (within an order of magnitude), poured herself into a yellow chiffon gown encrusted and strung with 41 clusters and strings of precious rocks borrowed from a New York jeweler. The spectacular finery, reportedly worth $1,000,000, and billed as the world's most costly dress, was designed by Couturiere Livia Sylva. Hope wore it on NBC-TV's quiz show, Play Your Hunch, where contestants guessed about the number of constellations in her high-carat caparison. Hunch's master of ceremonies, Merv Griffin, suggested...
...point, wearing a white chiffon gown, she danced an elaborate counterpoint to her female accuser with sensuous assurance; at another she fluttered behind prison bars like a captive bird. In one of the ballet's climactic scenes she danced a sexy blues number provocatively clothed in a low-cut gown. "Perhaps," said Carla, who is so thin that her fans call her "little spinach," "the dress was not exactly adapted to my physique." But at ballet's end, fans applauded through nine curtain calls, echoing the success she has found all over Europe in the four years since...
...Shaggy Dog (Buena Vista) of the title is a real, live, winsome, mop-footed old English sheep dog named Chiffon (real name: Sam) that opens doors and dresser drawers, climbs ladders, sits commandingly at the wheel of a speeding car, and even gargles before going to bed at night (on the sound track, anyway).

Died. Frances Williams, 57, blonde, willowy, five times wed (and divorced) Broadway musicomedienne of the '20s and. '30s (Artists and Models, Life Begins at 8:40), who dazzled crowds with her throaty versions of civilized blues (her trademark: a wisp of chiffon tied to one finger), retired after a sporadic later career of road shows and TV guest shots; of cancer; in Manhattan...
...Singer Pat Boone's show, where Guest Bea Lillie was introduced as "the imitable." Bea showed plenty of mileage for an older model: she poked her thimble nose through big fluttering fans, slipped off the piano a time or two, tripped over her long chiffon scarf. With limp, well-scrubbed adoration, Pat said: "You sure deserve the reputation you have," to which worldly-wise Bea replied: "Thanks-I think." Before she got hopelessly boxed in a square dance, Comedienne Lillie, 59, and Singer Boone, 23, did a spritely spoof of country music called I Got Tears in My Ears...
