...John Denver was treasured by the boomer generation. They put him alongside George Burns in "Oh God" and they tried to hook their kids, with some success, on "Annie's Song." The LP "John Denver's Greatest Hits" has sold more than 10 million copies worldwide, and is still selling.

"I hadn't felt the exact seduction everyone says they feel when they're around him, and I wondered when it was coming," Travolta recalled. "Then he said he wanted...
Dodi made his professional mark as a Hollywood producer. The films he helped finance included the Oscar-winning Chariots of Fire, The World According to Garp and Hook. But for all his notoriety in the movie business, Dodi was unable to alter the fact that he would always be best known, in the lingo of Fleet Street, as "the playboy" from "the House of Harrods." His only marriage, to former model Suzanne Gregard, ended after eight months in 1987.
