...bleachers were filled on both sides of the hardwood, Dartmouth's band competed for time with the Harvard band, fans posted signs for their favorite players behind the baskets, faces were painted and a man with roller skates and technicolored housecoat (left behind by the Partridge family, of course) slid and cheered along the far side line...
Mindy Faber's "Delirium" stood out as the most powerful of the previewed films. When the video opens, Faber's mother, draped in a long black housecoat, is pitching herself against moving cars, attempting suicide.

During a break, Winfrey, dressed in the shabby blue housecoat of her character, also talks about casting. "Originally ABC wanted Diana Ross ((as Rivers)) ...

"They've never really had a director with a wife," she complained to the Washington Post this month. "They've never...
...even admiration despite her frustrating fecklessness, her fumbling of life's every chance. From the first scene, when she serves a dinner of warm milk (hers liberally laced from a pocketbook flask) in an apartment without electricity, to the climactic reunion, when she arrives unkempt in a bedraggled housecoat and proceeds to exude glamour and sophistication from every pore, she makes life an adventure. Unlike the mother in The Glass Menagerie, whose tale of having 17 gentlemen callers seems a sad fib, Elise is convincing when she says, "I used to make quite the impression when I entered a room...
