...filmed A Doll's House in Norway, The Blue Bird in the Soviet Union, and now Actress Jane Fonda has begun her first Hollywood movie in three years. Titled Dick and Jane, the film has Fonda, now 38, in the role of a suburban housewife who fights the recession with a little bit of larceny.

"I have a lot of energy," says Jane of her moonlighting, "and I don't waste...

The rest of the cast is almost as good, notably Mezzo Joy Davidson (Hannah), Bass Thomas Paul (Bilby) and Tenor Jack Trussel (Shad...
Heard about the new Sonny and Cher dolls? Wind them up and they break apart. Well, not exactly, but starting in May, kids who are bored with their Barbies and Kens will have pint-sized versions of the TV couple to cuddle. That's when Mego International, makers of Batman, Robin and Star Trek dolls, will launch a $1 million ad campaign to market 12½-in. versions of Sonny and Cher to the moppet set. The Sonny doll will come with a twelve-piece wardrobe (including a sparkling silver lame jumpsuit), while the little Cher will have...
