...fringes of the music business for five years, changing his name from Jones to Bowie to avoid confusion with a member of the Monkees. He also flirted with imitating everyone from Anthony Newley to Bob Dylan, and spent three years on and off studying with the mime troupe of Lindsay Kemp, who has been described by Rock Historian Nicholas Schaffner as "Scotland's ultra-camp answer to Marcel Marceau." "Lindsay taught me more about what one can do with a stage than anyone," Bowie remarks now. "Just one small movement...
While Lincoln Hospital represents for many Bronx residents a sad comment on how our nation has allowed the namesake of a great American statesman to languish, underfunded and struggling to meet the health needs of its impoverished and largely minority clientele, Lindsay Anderson in Britannia Hospital has given us a bitingly, blackly humorous look at the other extreme. The good Britannia Hospital could hardly be better equipped, or more doted on by a loving government. The film, which spans just one-day--the 500th anniversary of the hospital--encompasses the dedication of the fabulously expensive Millar Center for Advanced Surgical...
...level distributors get caught more routinely. Last week John Lindsay Jr., 22, the son of the former New York mayor and presidential candidate, was arrested at his father's house and charged with selling three grams of coke to undercover cops for $300.

Dylan Thomas: "a Welsh demagogic masturbator who failed to pay his bills." T.S. Eliot: "a marvelous satirist with a true poetic sense who had sold out to institutionalized religion...
There is Pope Joan (Selina Cadell), who is said to have ascended the throne of St. Peter around A.D. 855 and who was later stoned to death. Also joining the party are Isabella Bird (Deborah Findlay), an intrepid 19th century Scottish traveler; Lady Nijo (Lindsay Duncan), a 13th century Japanese courtesan who became a Buddhist nun; Dull Gret (Carole Hayman), who led an avenging legion of women into the precincts of hell in Brueghel's painting Dulle Griet; and finally, Patient Griselda (Lesley Manville), made famous in Boccaccio and Chaucer as the model of a loyal, submissive wife...
