...performing arts and the popular idols they generate have long been a primary interest of TIME'S prolific Contributor Richard Schickel. Since 1960 he has written twelve books, including The Stars and His Picture in the Papers, both explorations of Hollywood's glittery "star syndrome." Schickel's soon-to-be-released volume, The Men Who Made the Movies, is based on his series of interviews with eight eminent film directors written, produced and directed for public television. LIFE'S movie critic from 1965 to 1972, Schickel has reviewed both movies and television for TIME since then...

Jane Fonda seized the occasion to make political statements to reporters. ("... It's not in the Soviet Union where civil liberties are most infringed, but in South Viet Nam.") In the movie Fonda is cast as Night, Ava Gardner as Luxury, Cicely Tyson as Cat, while Elizabeth Taylor plays Light, Witch, Mother and Maternal Love. Director George Cukor...
Rogers got into the investment business ten years ago, he explains, partly to protect himself against show-business management sharks and partly to keep out of Hollywood's unemployment office. His first venture was the purchase of an office building in foreclosure, and he still follows the pattern of seeking out money-losing buildings and putting them back in the black.
