...early '70s, Ashley's marvels attracted a cult following. To dance fans, her debut in Square Dance (1977) was one of the season's hottest / tickets. At about the same time she met her future husband, United Nations Translator Kibbe Fitzpatrick, and he, brave fellow, undertook to give her dancing its final finish. Onstage, said her love, Ashley was "no fun"-- pursed lips, stuck-out chin, blank stare or silly smile. Out went the mannerisms, and the ballerina began to show that she enjoyed her own performances. Ashley's perfectionism shows in several picture sequences, photographed expertly by Jack Vartoogian...
...Gang" faces separation, the one threat to its survival, the film becomes uncomfortably uneven. With all the tackiness represented by the taxi cab Yellow Mercedes, Santa Barbara suburbanites Gladys and Warren Fitzpatrick (Karen Black and Martin Mull) come to buy a child from the Sacred Heart.

His latest attempt is a comprehensive proposal requiring that all births involving third parties be covered by contracts, and that the "societal parents" (i.e., those who plan to rear the baby) have "all parental rights...
...they are more Mnouchkine than Shakespeare, and in their excessive length-Henry IV is more than five hours-seem to be testing the audience's endurance as much as its intelligence. Nevertheless, what Mnouchkine and her company have conceived is odd, provoking, and just what Festival Director Robert Fitzpatrick hoped for when he chose the festival's dramatic presentations. "Usually people come out of the theater in Los Angeles, get in their cars and go home," Fitzpatrick says. "Last night they came out and talked about what they had seen. That's wonderful...
