...just moments to air time on the set of ABC's Good Morning America and David Hartman, the program's king-size star, lays a reassuring caress on the clenched hands of his diminutive companion. "We're going on," he murmurs. The woman in red whispers back in the stage argot of her generation: "Break a leg, David." Alexis Caydom, a TV makeup specialist retained for the occasion, makes one more pass at his client's high cheekbones, then retreats.

The questions Nancy would ask were neatly typed in capital letters on index cards, a prompting technique the President often uses.

Merle Jeeter on Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman, and is currently appearing as a harried computer scientist in the movie WarGames. "I happen to think I do villains well," says Coleman. "I do them differently. I'm realistic." Indeed, unlike the sneering, comic-book persona of Larry Hagman's J.R., Coleman's Buffalo Bill is an unsettlingly familiar figure, not a caricature. "Everybody knows a Buffalo Bill," notes Tartikoff...
