...Hollywood superstars - Sarah Bernhardt, Eleanora Duse, Edwin Booth - survived in legend and, perhaps fortunately for them, their greatness has to be taken on faith by posterity. But Chaplin, Garbo, the Barrymores and other film greats survive on celluloid, and in the movie houses or on TV's late, late shows, their legends are constantly up for review...
...nostalgic for her childhood ("Oh, it's just that I'm a little young still for what I have to go through."). And when she sits down and looks out into the audience, her beautifully sculptured expression sends one's mind back to thoughts of Greta Garbo. Her Antigone is proud and courageous and noble.

Short hair cuts, among them what Parisians call le Farrow and I'Artichaut, are replacing the elaborate bouffant hairdos that made...
...present in Lynn and Vanessa Redgrave. They look, to begin with, like no other actresses currently facing clapper cues?and certainly not like each other. Both are tall, but Vanessa is the taller by a smidgen; at 5 ft. 10½ in., she is the skyscrapingest screen queen in filmsville. (Garbo, though her pressagent insisted that she was only 5 ft. 7, wore flat heels in Grand Hotel but still swayed high above John Barrymore, whose pressagent insisted that he stood 5 ft. 10.) For her height Vanessa is slender: her bust is small, her legs long and elegant...
