...counterculture, teenagers of the early '60s like Baby Houseman (Jennifer Grey) had to make do with just culture. So she gets three weeks with her family at a resort in the Catskills. Bo-o-o-ring! Baby's only hope is that Johnny (Patrick Swayze), the lower-class hunk who teaches dancing, may notice her. In a picture that never makes a move the audience has not anticipated two scenes back, wish soon becomes reality. Johnny initiates Baby first into his erotically charged (if anachronistic) dance style, then into the joys...
...know you think I've got a cushy job. But that's nothing compared with Remar Sutton's. You know -- the fat, bald 45-year-old guy who decided to chuck it all, move to an island and dedicate a year of his life to becoming a hunk. He's been chronicling his progress in a series of wry letters appearing in scores of newspapers, but maybe you haven't been reading them.

Consensus on the flutter factor: 8 or 9, which is pretty amazing for someone who justifiably rated his hunk index at 0 a year ago. Even the college guys hooted and howled in agreement. An older fellow, Philip Finn, who was on vacation from Plains, Pa., was also awed, but confided to me, "What I'm interested in watching is whether he keeps it off." So am I. Then...
Living out a classic male fantasy, Remar Sutton spends a year in the Bahamas reshaping from chunk to hunk and hyping the result...
