...could recognize. This LaSalle fellow doesn't make sense. He comes on as a Broadway blusterer, yet claims he never goes to "commercial pap" like Cats and Dreamgirls. Then what's he doing writing for a blue-collar tabloid? Your other co-workers are more credible. Your boss (James Farentino) seems to hate spunkiness as much as Lou Grant did. And Jo (Katey Sagal), the cynical columnist, couldn't be a better foil if she had been invented by TV comedy writers...
...Iowa and still manages to do her show every week from a local TV station. That is known as having it all. JULIE, a new ABC sitcom, doesn't have much of anything except Julie Andrews, who puts a little sparkle into the drab material. Her dedicated husband (James Farentino) tends to ailing heifers and brings home an injured dog to share their bed. His two kids at first resent their stepmother (sure, who wants a TV star for a mom anyway?) but are won over by her sunny, motivational lectures. Andrews' husband, Blake Edwards (Victor/Victoria, 10), directed the first...

...like the dying Evita's farewell radio address, she can key several moods - weariness, coquetry, defiance - while providing the scene with a swift climactic kick. But Writer Ronald Harwood and Director Marvin Chomsky allow too much of Evita Perón to glide by on casters; and James Farentino, as Perón, looks and acts as if he could be Robert De Niro's older brother who went into accounting. One brief scene - in which Eva greets her new lover Juan with her arms and a leg sticking out seductively from behind an easy chair, like...
...came from absolute poverty and created for herself absolute power," reports an admiring Dunaway, 39. "She forged a mystical relationship with the poor in her country. An incredible mixture of instinct and awareness, intelligence and emotion." NBC's four-hour Evita!-First Lady, which co-stars James Farentino, 42, as Dictator Juan Perón, bears little resemblance to the current Broadway musical. Says Dunaway: "We want to show the truth laced through with what evolved spiritually." Meanwhile, no expense has been spared to show Evita's material evolution. Her wardrobe cost a third of a million dollars...
