...clear that Noguchi, a naturalized citizen who emigrated from Tokyo in 1952, is a habitual grandstander. He has been a guest on the Dick Cavett show, and the TV character Quincy is partly modeled on him. "Noguchi is the Salvador Dali of forensic pathology," says a coroner from an East Coast city...
...chief at London's Royal Opera House. "I looked with horror at how it was being presented. It had become a mausoleum." Controversy is nothing new for the flamboyant British-born director.

Creature from the Blue Lagoon Meets Ordinary People ought to doit...
