...many sides: bitterness, love-awfully difficult, but quite a person." Quite a private one too. Carolyn has painted all her life. Unlike celebrated Brother Andrew or her father, Illustrator N.C. Wyeth, or Nephew Jamie, a high-priced painter at 32, Carolyn has rarely shown her works. "I hate fame," she says. "I hate money." But at age 69, she seems to be courting both. A retrospective of her paintings (priced between $6,500 and $12,000) is now on display at the Brandywine River Museum in Chadds Ford, Pa. The new visibility, however, does not mean that Carolyn plans...
...University of Oregon, got his legal training at Southwestern University Law School in Los Angeles, and started out specializing in criminal and personal injury cases. He first gained attention in 1963 by winning a major right-to-counsel case before the U.S. Supreme Court. Mitchelson's fame as a divorce lawyer-and his reputation as a "bomber" who can turn a marital split-up into an expensive war-dates from 1964, when he won a $2 million settlement for Actor James Mason's ex-wife Pamela.

JAKE AND ELWOOD Blues have finally hit the big time. The two orphans from Rock Island, Illinois have survived years of arduous life on the road to find sudden fame and fortune in New York and L.A., proving themselves to be players, alas, very much ready for prime time...
John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd, of NBC's Saturday Night and other fame, have released a gem of an album under the guise of the Blues Brothers, an act first spawned to warm up Saturday Night studio audiences a year or so back. Perhaps you have caught a couple of their subsequent appearances on the show, decked out in black suits, fedoras, and shades that would have done a G-man proud (circa 1962). Steve Martin, who guest hosted one show on which the Brothers performed, was sufficiently impressed to ask them to open eight shows...
