...Antonio. Last week Washington Columnist Jack Anderson added some new perspective to the film's history when he revealed that Millhouse was partly financed by three nieces of Vice President-designate Nelson Rockefeller. According to Anderson, Peggy and Abby, daughters of Chase Manhattan Bank Chairman David Rockefeller, and Laura, daughter of Philanthropist Laurance Rockefeller, together anted up $37,000 of the movie's $200,000 cost. A Rockefeller family spokesman confirmed that the women had indeed made an investment (though not as much as Anderson had reported), and pointed out that they are used to making their...
...rated The Waltons' family-bond wagon. ABC's The New Land, based on the movie, will star Scott Thomas and Bonnie Bedelia as Scandinavian emigrants settling in Minnesota, circa 1858. NBC's Little House on the Prairie, based on the Little House novels by Laura Ingalls Wilder, will begin with "restless but resourceful" Michael Landon (Bonanza), his perfect wife (Karen Grassle) and their three adorable daughters also settling in Minnesota...

Williams is often at his most effective when he is autobiographical. Tom and Laura in Menagerie were modeled on the playwright and his introverted sister Rose, who had to be institutionalized for life. The confrontation in Cat was his way of trying to exorcise the demonic memory of his taunting and bullying father--much as O'Neill did in a still greater play, Long...
...Rubins, commerciality does not automatically exclude integrity. "Since the Beatles, there's been a bridge," he says. "Now you can write a song like Carly Simon's 'Haven't Got Time for the Pain,' and people like it." While Rubins thinks "today's music is good," and considers Laura Nyro "mindblowing," he admits a prejudice: "Nothing is quite up to the 30's and 40's stuff. Nothing can compare with the simplicity of Coward's lyrics." Rubins pauses and sings a few bars from a Noel Coward hit: "My funny valentine, you make me smile with your heart." Short...
