...discussed with them privately. However, relations between Reagan and his staff, for all its consideration and devotion, are strictly businesslike. None of his present aides address Reagan as anything but "Governor." For personal friendship, Reagan turns at home to old buddies from his movie days, among them William Hoiden and Jimmy Stewart, and a few of the California businessmen who first backed him for Governor 14 years...
Agreed, but sometimes it can't be all good either. During the filming in Hawaii of Irwin Allen's ultimate disaster movie, The Day the World Ended, with Newman and William Hoiden, Bisset's reel-life idyl was interrupted by real-life meteorological aberrations. Not only were there earthquakes, but the usually sun-washed Kona coast was lashed by heavy rains that set back filming and added another $2 million to the $20 million budgeted.

Savimbi's group, ,meanwhile, has been bankrolled by South Africans and wealthy white Angolans who fear their property will be confiscated by the country...
Breezy is not just another May-September romance; it is more of a March-January sort of thing. He (William Hoiden) is a divorced real estate salesman inhabiting the only gloomy and unenviable modern house in Southern California. She (Kay Lenz) is a vagrant hippie who lands on his doorstep one morning and, after some suitably mature reluctance on his part, in his bed a little later. He is weary and wise, she is innocent and wise, and they spend altogether too much time exchanging mutually edifying homilies while Director Eastwood searches for camera placements that tend too much toward...
