...Woody Allen she is "probably the most beautiful woman the world has yet seen." He might have added that Mariel Hemingway, 18, his Manhattan costar, is also a topflight athlete. Even before she began an arduous nine months of training for the part of an Olympics-bound track star in Personal Best, Heming way would spend four to five hours a day at her home in Ketchum, Idaho, swimming, skiing, jogging, riding horses, climbing mountains or tumbling on the family trampoline. To play a pentathlon competitor, she stretched her repertory to include the shot put, high jump, long jump...

Pavarotti, who is conscientious and meticulously punctual when he finally gets down to business, clashed at rehearsal with his costar, Soprano Renata Scotto, over her lateness and somebody's fluffs (whether hers or his was part of the dispute). They even stopped in mid-aria to exchange words not found in the libretto. On the day of the gala opening, Scotto received a letter warning that a claque was planning to boo her. It was signed "Enzo Grimaldo," the character...
