That began a string of 18 flicks too terrible to mention. "I either played the clean-cut boy next door," he recalls, "or the murderer of a family of at least five." He also wrote a few himself: The Trip, starring Peter Fonda; Head, with the Monkees; and two westerns, which he also produced, made for $75,000 apiece. Nicholson personally carried them in hatboxes to European film festivals, where they won come acclaim. Still, they are too arty and paralytic for U.S. audiences...
Even for the most liberated of women, a man sometimes comes in handy. Actress Jane Fonda's handyman last week was Lawyer-Author Mark Lane (Rush to Judgment), who flew from New York to Cleveland to spring Jane from jail. Charged with importing some 2,000 tranquilizers and pep pills from Canada and roughing up a cop and a customs agent to boot, Jane, 32, said of her overnight stay in stir: "When you think that the best people in this country are now in jail, I didn't mind it at all."

McGregor, who sees the style as not only ageless but sexless, has monkeyed with Warren Beatty, Geraldine Chaplin, Donald Sutherland and all of his own family of six. "It is a true hairstyle," he says, "unlike the faking and teasing that makes so many women over 21 look like hookers. Now an older...
...used to think that war was Henry Fonda shooting it out behind a water trough on a dusty Wyoming street. Or Achilles chasing Hector around Troy. So the only way that I have been able to understand the war in Vietnam is to pretend, each time a GI or a Vietnamese died, that it was my brother or my father or my mother that died. By now over a million Vietnamese have been killed and probably 80 thousand Americans. If all of us felt even a little bit of that in our stomachs, not even all of America could digest...
