...When Brooks did return to Hollywood, most of the town considered her anathema. Wellman did supposedly offer the role eventually taken by Jean Harlow in The Public Enemy, but Brooks says she turned it down. Instead, she made a Grade-Z short, Windy Riles Goes Hollywood, directed by the disgraced Fatty Arbuckle, then made a few more furtive, insultingly small appearances in movies. Sometimes her scenes were cut out of the film. She ended her career staring up at Wayne in Overland Stage Raiders and seemingly out of her element, her refeened voice clashing with the homey cliches...
...with no special enthusiasm in Europe, cut by censors into incoherence in the U.S., Pandora's Box had to wait a generation to find its audience. But when recognition for the film, and even more so for Brooks, did come, it didn't stop. The Anna Karina character in Jean-Luc Godard's Vivre sa vie was based on her, as was Melanie Griffith's Lulu in Jonathan Demme's Something Wild. An adoring 1979 New Yorker profile by Kenneth Tynan (calling Brooks "the most seductive, sexual image of woman ever committed to celluloid") cemented her celebrity, and suddenly...
...Year Sarah Hayes (15.9 ppg, 7.9 rpg) in the lineup. Now she’s gone, as is second-leading scorer Colleeen Kelly (13.0 ppg). Brown’s tenacious defense, which averaged 11.3 steals and forced 20 turnovers a game, must be retooled as well.

...office and DVD sales when the director funded it himself--that made believers out of Hollywood executives and ushered in a flurry of faith-based filmmaking. "I could kiss Mel on both cheeks for showing Hollywood the size of this market," says Matt Crouch, son of televangelists Paul and Jean Crouch and producer of One Night with the King, the story of Esther. The movie opened in 900 theaters on Oct. 13 and has grossed $10 million so far, with lush costumes and sets, newcomer Tiffany Dupont in the title role and cameos by Omar Sharif and Peter O'Toole...
...DIED. Jean-Jacques Servan-Schreiber, 82, French journalist and politician; in Fécamp, Normandy. In 1953 Servan-Schreiber co-founded L'Express, building it into the nation's most influential newsweekly. A devout reformist, Servan-Schreiber used L'Express to champion French decolonization and to back politicians who promised change. In 1970 Servan-Schreiber struck out into politics on his own-winning legislative and regional seats-and in 1974 briefly served as Reform Minister under President Valéry Giscard d'Estaing...
