...Movie children were not always like real children," says Lament Johnson, who directed Mariel Hemingway in Lipstick and Diane Lane in Cattle Annie and Little Britches, a western film scheduled for release next spring.

As in a dream, a flickering story line is overwhelmed by visual images?blowing wheat, threshers outlined against a sunset, locusts darkening...
...scar that runs from the bridge of her once broken nose, across her right eyelid and down nearly to her cheekbone ?the result of too many falls in playgrounds. Not long ago, she finished filming Orphan Train, a CBS-TV movie, in which she plays a little girl who runs away from her job as a thief in a whorehouse...
