...that they can reveal so much about themselves. "Here I am, warts and all," Henry Fonda exults on the jacket of Fonda, Howard Teichmann's new as-told-to book. And Fonda's spirit merely mimics that of other such recent candor-struck memoirists as Shelley Winters, Lauren Bacall, Elizabeth Ashley, Sidney Poitier, Gene Tierney, Joan Fontaine and Ingrid Bergman. There cannot be many Hollywood giants left who have not been treated in one book or another. To peruse even a few thousand pages of these literary star treks, however, is to realize that they do not bring...

As a garment rack was dramatically wheeled out from the wings, Nancy strode onstage-in a veritable riot...
...popular success of Chariots of Fire and Brideshead Revisited have, meanwhile, provided impetus for Lauren, 42, to turn back to his beginnings. Many of this fall's clothes for men and women will feature a British accent, with lots of strict tailoring: heathery tweeds for men, an elongated Norfolk jacket for women worn with a contrasting tweed skirt. Fabrics immaculate, tailoring impeccable: the best off-the-rack American stuff that comes to hand.
