...mining town of 500, believe in lending a helping hand. More than 200 residents showed up for a special benefit dance at the town hall that was sponsored by the Veterans of Foreign Wars and its Women's Auxiliary. They held a raffle, and auctioned off such homey items as stuffed pillows and Lazy Susans. All in all, the citizens raised $5,000 for Fran York, whose Star Ranch was gutted by a blaze back in November.

He frequently suggest a cross between Anthony Perkins and Jack Nicholson--a homey, sardonic, seventies Norman Bates--and those quivering depths make his comparatively restrained performances in The Great Gatsby and Smile teeter devastatingly on the brink of an explosion. But in his all-out roles--in Silent Running, Black Sunday, Coming Home-- Dern makes an art of modern crack-up: shaking, sobbing, barnstorming...
