It was none other than Katharine Hepburn, 60, playing hooky from her star role in Coco to catch her good friend Lauren Bacall, 45, in Applause-and visibly annoyed when Manhattan's press photographers spoiled her getaway act. When one especially persistent reporter tracked her quarry all the way home, she got more than a picture. "Get away from me, you little brat," hissed Katie, "or I'll punch you in the face...

Choreographer Michael Bennett won a Tony nomination for his dances in Coco. If Company had opened in time for consideration, he might have taken a Tony home...
...with melancholy. He can throw himself on a chair as limply as a discarded bath towel and rise from it with the agitated wiriness of a berserk coat hanger. Perhaps all he needs to be truly discovered is to have Neil Simon see the show, as he did Jimmy Coco's, and then build a surefire comedy around...
