They had a wedding in Mayberry last week. Barney Fife (Don Knotts), decked out in his best city-slicker suit, finally walked down the aisle with his longtime heartthrob Thelma Lou. A beaming Andy Taylor (Andy Griffith), Barney's old friend and ex-boss, was the best man. Even Gomer Pyle (Jim Nabors) was on hand to lead the red-robed choir...
...Apple Dumpling and an unhealthy variety of baked goods. Ethereal: Angel. Infantile: Babe, Baby, Baby Doll. Among the strange are combinations of the above, such as Lambie Pie, Honey Bear and Poopsie, a possible reference to fatigue. There are also physically or emotionally descriptive terms such as Hot Lips, Heartthrob, Hunk and Cuddles. All of which have taken up residence in the language in both conversation and song, as in the distinguished lyric: "When my Sugar walks down the street/ All the little birdies go tweet, tweet, tweet...
...talent, unfortunately, is not hereditary." Nevertheless, Sophie Renoir, 20, a great-granddaughter of French Impressionist Painter Pierre Auguste Renoir, is determined to express herself. Her chosen medium is film acting (well, her great-uncle is Film Maker Jean Renoir), and her credits include The Children Are Watching, with French Heartthrob Alain Delon and a planned film this spring with Burt Lancaster.

Lithgow, the movies' Mr. Versatile (transsexual jock in The World According to Garp, bumbling lover in Terms of Endearment, incendiary preacher in Footloose), here does a manic turn as Dr. Lizardo; it is as if old mad Ezra Pound were played...
...Paris, the Illinois-born actress finds some risky business in a setting that is more mundane, if no less romantic. This time Allen plays a horticulturist from St. Louis who takes a summer vacation in France and falls in love with a handsome French banker, played by Gallic Heartthrob Thierry Lhermitte, 30. The summer sweethearts make love in a bank vault and a bathtub, among other places. Allen says she speaks "bad French" but seems to have had no problem making herself understood.
