Piano and Paintbrush. After arriving in the U.S. in 1953 with his own folk-dance company, Holder spent two years as a principal dancer with the Metropolitan Opera Ballet. He has choreographed works for the Alvin Ailey company and the Dance Theater of Harlem. His paintings, mostly lush impressionist nudes, hang in the Corcoran Gallery, the Barbados Museum and Historical Society and the homes of, among others, William Buckley and Barbara Walters. As an actor, he has appeared on Broadway (the 1957 revival of Waiting for Godot) and in films (Live and Let Die, Doctor Dolittle). He is the author...

The guts of Frye's act, of course, were his look-alike impressions of former President Nixon, whose departure from Washington has sent Frye scurrying for tapes of Gerald Ford. He has already introduced the Ford voice into his nightclub act, but worries about the face. Muses Frye, "He looks like the guy in a science fiction movie who is the first one to see The Creature...
