...Ronald Colman (A Double Life) and drowned by Montgomery Clift (A Place in the Sun). Robert Mitchum slit her throat (The Night of the Hunter); James Mason drove her to fatal madness (Lolita). She won two Oscars, for The Diary of Anne Frank and A Patch of Blue, and lent her increasing heft to The Poseidon Adventure. But her ripest later role was as herself: a tell-all memoirist and rowdy talk-show guest who was still entertaining audiences by exasperating men. DIED. SIDNEY FRANK, 86, eccentric beverage-marketing guru who in 1997 introduced the "superpremium" Grey Goose vodka--with...

Perhaps this should not shock; Colombus is the auteur behind...
