...Orson Welles? Well, not quite in bulk, but maybe a wee bit in skills. Asked to perform in a TV commercial for Fabergé hair products bearing her name, Farrah, 34, wrote the ad, okayed the cinematographer, had a hand in picking the props and even chose her costar, ex-New York Jet Joe Namath, 38. "I saw the ad in my mind and it came out exactly as I wanted it," says Farrah. "It has a sense of humor." The 30-sec. spot calls for Farrah to take a shower with Namath, with whom she teamed...
...century queen who falls in love with the man sent to assassinate her-for Edwige Feuillère and Jean Marais, who played it on the Paris stage in 1946 and in a film version in 1948. Tallulah Bankhead brought it to Broadway in 1947 (but without her original costar, the young Marlon Brando). Thirty years later, Monica Vitti, whom Antonioni had made a star with L 'Avventura, would call on her old mentor to collaborate on the project for RAI, the Italian television network. But Antonioni saw no challenge in restaging the play. Instead, he would shoot...
...Turn, this marvelous comic actor filches attention from the stars with his maddeningly reasonable response to every crisis. But how long can he play second banana, on whose sleek skin the other actors do pratfalls?

Otherwise, Grodin may grow arm-weary trying to get comic capital out of unproductive S.L.O.T. machines...
Rowlands' young costar, John Adames, was all of seven when Gloria was filmed. But even now he possesses the dark good looks of a gnome gigolo. His mannerisms seem as if the director might have bought them at a movie-memorabilia shop: gestures from Cagney, a voice as wispy as Peter Lorre's, sardonic smiles from the early John Cassavetes. But they are perfectly suitable to the slapdash style and gravelly tone of a film that uses Method acting to conceal, and then reveal, the workings of a soft old Hollywood heart...
...Little Lord Fauntleroy, a CBS-TV movie, he plays the Earl of Dorincourt, a crusty old gaffer gradually softened by his grandson's winsome ways. Guinness, 66, who found himself "with a moist eye now and then" while reading his part, was beguiled by his young costar, Ricky Schroder, 10, who plays the Brooklyn tot turned aristocrat. (This is the third movie version of the Frances Hodgson Burnett classic: Mary Pickford played "Fauntleroy" in the 1921 film and Freddie Bartholomew in the 1936 remake.) Between takes at Belvoir Castle in Leicestershire, England, the lord and the knight discovered...
