...article interviewed numerous teenyboppers who professed their undying love for him. All of those interviewed were too young to buy cigarettes, but there is little doubt that the photo--and many others like it in so-called "glamorous" entertainment magazines--will influence their opinion of how smoking is really "cool," despite obvious health hazards Attitudes like this are not going to change until the public lets its outraged voice be heard.

In Segment III in particular, Larissa Ponomarenko and Paul Thrussel entwined themselves over and over again in matching navy velvet outfits.

But more importantly, in an age where humor consists primarily of Seinfeld-esque ironic cool, Bridges wasn't afraid to be goofy. There is, of course, his classic turn as a chain-smoking air-traffic controller in "Airplane!" While nobody could completely rescue "Hot Shots" (or, for that matter, "Part Deux"), his Admiral Benson came close. And how can you not admire a man who could star in a stinker like "Battlestar...
