...journeymen TV actors who redefine that overused term, "ensemble cast." Anthony Edwards (who had a recurring role in Northern Exposure and supporting roles in such films as Top Gun) is probably first among equals, but with his thinning hair, glasses and unassuming manner, he never steals a scene. George Clooney, as playboy pediatrician Dr. Doug Ross, is the most traditional hunk of the bunch, but the actor is self-effacing to a fault. "The writers are so good that even I can't screw up," he says. "For an old TV actor, it's great to have Steven Spielberg...
...Ella Fitzgerald. "Unquestionably a beautiful voice," he says of Ella, "but I never got a sense she connected with the lyrics. She never churned my kishkes -- that's Yiddish for intestines." His list of favorites is just as idiosyncratic.

...real people and events to fit the TV entertainment format. In recent weeks there have been two such shows based on the romance of Prince Charles and Lady Diana. Earlier, Jaclyn Smith starred in a docudrama called Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy. In the offing are pseudo biographies of Singer Rosemary Clooney, starring Sondra Locke, and of Grace Kelly, played by Cheryl Ladd. Some of the subjects have been paid or are more or less happy with the results. Others emphatically are not. Gloria Vanderbilt was none too pleased with Little Gloria . . . Happy at Last, a version of Barbara Goldsmith...
