DIED. MAUDE RUTHERFORD, 104, the "Slim Princess" and Cotton Club singer and dancer who claimed to have introduced the Charleston to Broadway in the 1922 all-black revue Liza; in Atlantic City, N.J. Despite her considerable talent, Rutherford, who worked with Josephine Baker, was usually cast as comic relief, never the star...
...average. As unsurprising as a jug of sangria on a summer's day or a teeming dance floor in Ibiza. An average 26-year-old European. Cruz began her globe-trotting as an adolescent. "I knew I was going to be a dancer or an actress," she says. "I knew I wasn't going to be staying in the same place every day because I would go crazy."

Sharon dates her search for God to 1974 when, as a 20-year-old folk dancer expelled as a sophomore from Boston University for various convincing reasons, she fetches up in Honolulu with her boyfriend Gary, 35, a "Vietnam-era" graduate student who promptly ditches her, leaving her stuck with the hotel bill. She can't afford to go back to the mainland...
