...anxious about my success but it scarcely shows. House and Garden real estate, overlooking Central Park and on the dunes in the fiercely stylish Hamptons. Booming career. I am a screenwriter. I am the screenwriter, Katharine Wallis Alexander. Not too many hassles these days. They are talking Redford, Fonda, Coppola and $150,000 with a very nice percentage for my next script. Everyone is thinking Woman this year and I am The Woman to write it. I looked thin and not a day over thirty-two at the Zanuck-Brown party in Women's Wear two weeks...
Onscreen, Stallone radiates more boyish bravado than Brando's brooding rage. Says Co-star Talia Shire, sister of Francis Ford Coppola: "Francis was an innocent when he first succeeded and so is Sly." Innocent or not, Stallone is probably onto the right screen image at the right time. Boggled by grim, paranoid plots like Marathon Man and savage heroes like the Taxi Driver, audiences may be ready to buy his gentler, uncomplicated machismo. Stallone is sure of it.

UA's Apocalypse Now is a Viet Nam extravaganza presently being shot in the Philippines by Godfather Director Francis Ford Coppola. Total cost of the latter two movies: at least $30 million...
Wary Studios. The total cost, of course, is not always-or even usually -borne by the studio. De Laurentiis, Levine and Coppola, for example, are independent producers who raise much of the production cost themselves; the studios put up part of the money and take care of distribution. Thus United Artists, a subsidiary of Transamerica Corp., will pay only 20% of the cost of producing the two war movies. Indeed, studios are generally loath to spend as liberally as in the era of Cleopatra. Says MCA President Sidney Sheinberg: "If Jaws had cost $20 million, we would not have made...
