...Cruise took the wheel of a Nissan 300 ZX turbo sports car last week while making his pro circuit racing debut at the Road Atlanta race course in Braselton, Ga. His wife of two months, Actress Mimi Rogers, cheered from the pit. So did his new pal and Money co-star, Paul Newman, 62, a veteran race-car driver who later took the wheel of his own 300 ZX in another division. Cruise, who described his leg of the race as being "smooth as silk," drove for the first half of the three- hour marathon before handing...
...series survived many traumas and changes, from the death of Co-Star Michael Conrad (who as Sergeant Phil Esterhaus opened each episode with its trademark roll call) to the 1985 departure of Steven Bochco, the show's co- creator, fired after reported disputes over cost overruns. Yet new characters (like Dennis Franz's choleric Lieut. Buntz) and continued good scripts (including one this season by Playwright David Mamet) injected fresh life. "This one never went downhill," says NBC Entertainment President Brandon Tartikoff. "It's like a ballplayer: you want to see someone go out a winner, like Sandy Koufax, instead...
None of the celebrities, who filed jointly with their wives, were accused of any wrongdoing. But they may still have to pay huge sums in back taxes, penalties and interest. Sidney Poitier ended up with questionable deductions of $500,757, Michael Landon with $1 million, and his former Bonanza co-star Lorne Greene with $333,838. Producer Norman Lear, creator of All in the Family, has to answer for $1.5 million. CBS Chief Executive Laurence Tisch's deductions amounted to $1.1 million, while his brother Preston, the U.S. Postmaster General, benefited from a $480,508 write-off. The biggest...
...European tour following the filming of The Rose in 1979 provoked one last fight with Russo, and Midler was on her own. She chose a jokey film noir script called Jinxed; she chose the director Don Siegel and her co-star Ken Wahl. The brass at United Artists, then tiptoeing through the rubble of Heaven's Gate, was turning to Midler to make decisions. And the creative team, vexed at her power, turned on her. There were shoving matches and walkouts. It was a sorry time. In retrospect, Midler notes, "I feel I've had my revenge. What goes around...
...first it seems a bizarre coincidence. The fellow represented here in correspondence with the late crime novelist John D. MacDonald has the same name as Dan Rowan the comedian, half of the team of Rowan and Martin, co-star of TV's red-hot Laugh-In series of the late '60s and early '70s. In fact, he is that Dan Rowan. But before we ask what he is doing in such bookish company, it should be noted that he put in his time as a comedy writer, and that he knocks out a sharper, shrewder letter than one would ever...
