...boasts Broadway talent galore, beginning with Michael Crawford, the first Phantom in Andrew Lloyd Webber's Opera; here he plays all the lead male roles. The show has glorious sets by Tony luminary David Mitchell (Barnum, Annie) and 500 phantasmagorical costumes by Theoni Aldredge (A Chorus Line, Dreamgirls). Among the contributors to its original score is, well, Don Grady, whose first eminence was as the hunkiest of Fred MacMurray's three TV sons but who now writes lush, hummable ballads. Finally, EFX has that cosmic expanse of spirit, that lift of a driving dream, that wily, woozy pretentiousness, that have...
...Amber Valetta, who just signed on as a correspondent with Fashion Week, a new TV show that premiered on the E! cable channel two weeks ago. It is one of four fashion-news shows that have sprung up in imitation of mtv's successful House of Style, starring Cindy Crawford. The paradigm for the supermodel-as-enterprise, Crawford is surely inspiring many of the professionally beautiful.

Many observers argue that supermodels have topped movie stars on the fame hierarchy because they possess an ethereal allure missing since the '40s and '50s. "I couldn't ever picture Joan Crawford going to the supermarket to buy soap," notes Pauline Bernatchez, who runs the 24-year-old Parisian modeling agency Pauline's, "but I could easily envision Meryl Streep doing it with her children. Models seem more untouchable. People need glamour; they need to dream." Says designer Isaac Mizrahi: "When my mother...
...kill her best friend. She was so stunned, she said, that she repressed the memory for nearly two decades. Although the validity of Eileen's testimony was not at issue in the appeal, it will certainly become the main focus of the new trial. In Kittanning, Pennsylvania, Franklin Crawford was given a 10-to-20-year sentence for drowning a woman in 1971. His conviction was based almost entirely on the testimony of a former neighbor who, more than 20 years after the event, suddenly recalled witnessing the crime...
