...daughter Lizie, 18, herself a fledgling pop singer, helped him with his American Scene piece last February on the Grateful Dead. Says Skow, 53: "I am now one of the world's oldest Dead Heads." His TIME cover subjects include Model Cheryl Tiegs, Singer Linda Ronstadt and Actresses Diane Keaton and Meryl Streep. Skow dined with Madonna and her band at Chez Helene in New Orleans and discovered "that we both liked Judy Holliday and soft-shell crabs...
...this 1980 comedy by South African Writer-Director-Producer-Actor -Cinematographer-Editor Jamie Uys. The film's pleasures are simple and obvious: an original plot, lots of slapstick and a lead performance by the Bushman N!xau, who registers every absurdity with the aplomb of an aboriginal Buster Keaton. There is a tinge of paternalism in Uys' attitude toward both the Bushman and the bumbling rebels, but he seems no racist; he tars all his characters, black and white, with the same broad satirical brush. With very little exertion, the spectator can convince himself he is laughing not only...

This is revolution as amour fou, which Diane Keaton knows something about from her turns as Louise Bryant in Reds and the frazzled Mata Hari in The Little Drummer Girl. Keaton and Australian Director...
...Charly, the flightly, tough-on-the-outside-soft-on-the-inside actress, Keaton is wonderful. Minus Woody Allen and Warren Beatty who tend to upstage her, Keaton's performance is genuinely fresh and appealing. Her ditzyness, which was overdone in Annie Hall and Manhattan, is put to good use here. When the Israelis draft her to drive a car wired with tons of explosives, she accidentally puts it into reverse and crashes into a tree at top speed, much to the amusement of her hardened Israeli cohorts, who haven't had this much fun in years. Even terrorists have...
