...Stay As You Are (1980), she is "a mixture of poison and nectar." more the latter at the box office. But to her own mind, German-born Nastassja Kinski, 20, is, like her actor-father Klaus, simply, "a professional." Asked to close-crop her luxuriant locks for Francis Ford Coppola's One from the Heart, the actress instantly complied. "I do whatever the role requires," says the now almost tressless Tess. -By Claudia Wallis...
...length, it is a reconstitution by Kevin Brownlow, a talented English film historian (The Parade's Gone By, Hollywood: the Pioneers), who spent a decade painstakingly collecting bits and pieces of film. It is appropriate, perhaps inevitable, that Brownlow's work should be presented by Francis Ford Coppola (The Godfather, Apocalypse Now), a modern inheritor of the epic tradition.

It's a bastard musical in a way, not in the tradition of Dan Dailey and The Music...

And he managed, in late April, while negotiations were still underway between his manager and Coppola, to record the LP at the RCA studios on Ivar, with long-time producer Bones Howe. "Pomona Lisa" didn't make it to his seventh album, but tracks like "Ruby's Arms," "Jersey Girl" and "Till the Money Runs Out" did. And another song -- "Downtown." A Waits' original or the Petula Clark classic...
