...album of Rolling Stone photographer Annie Leibovitz's finest work provides the kind of pictorial history of rock that only this magazine could. From the first full-page shot of a pensive John Lennon gazing into Leibovitz's lens to a melancholy Keith Richard swathed in a makeshift black headdress, Leibovitz's collection captures virtually every major rock star of the last ten years in some special pose, along with non-rock celebrities ranging from Truman Capote to Jimmy Carter...
Professor Higgins has tossed out his tweed hat for a headdress. The star of My Fair Lady is a very different kind of gent in his latest film, Shalimar. This time Rex Harrison plays a chap called Sir John, "the world's greatest jewel thief," who lives on an island in the Indian Ocean with his own private army.

She will wear the jewels and an elaborate headdress in her role as Nefertiti, Queen of the Nile, in the Broadway-bound play of the same name. Marcovicci-best known as Woody Allen's girl friend in The Front-admires the strong-willed wife of King Akhenaten. "I like to play women who want something for themselves and will fight for it," says Andrea. To pre pare for her role...
...truth, the only synthesis in the film is between the ludicrous and the unintentionally comic. Locusts swarming over the Capitol dome, an Ethiopian church ceremony that looks like a Coptic version of Regine's, James Earl Jones brooding in locust headdress - the choice moments are many. The question raised by this fiasco is whether Burton is going to go down like John Barrymore, hamming his way through unworthy vehicles that feed off travesties of his talent...
