Four-color posters were being printed, and record contracts were in negotiation...
When he returned, he says, "we started getting involved. There was something about her?a quality I can't define even now?that I found so appealing. It exceeded anything physical. She had every color I ever imagined in a person." She told him that their six months together were the happiest time of her life. While he was making Saturday Night Fever, Diana Hyland died of cancer...
