...Anne Baxter, 62, throaty-voiced actress whose stage and screen career, from her 1936 Broadway debut in Seen but Not Heard to her current role as TV's Hotel owner, embraced heartland innocence and brittle sophistication; after a stroke; in New York City. Baxter, the granddaughter of Architect Frank Lloyd Wright, won an Oscar as best supporting actress for The Razor's Edge (1946) and was nominated for her scheming ingenue Eve Harrington in All About Eve (1950); 20 years later she played Margo Channing, the aging star against whom Eve schemed, in Applause, a Broadway musical based...
Along with the takeover tussles come some new stock offerings. The most unusual is the creation of Composer Andrew Lloyd Webber, 37, the author of hit musicals, including Cats and Evita. Last week it was announced that early next year investment bankers at Schroder Wagg will offer to the public shares in Lloyd Webber's company, called Really Useful. Last year the firm had pre-tax profits of $3.1 million, and it owns the rights to everything Lloyd Webber has written since 1978. Stockholders will get a share of royalties each time an elevator plays a Muzak-treated tune from...
...LONG TIME AGO, when even the brightest among us were cruising in our Big Wheels, Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber wrote a musical that was fun.

Despite its biblical story, Joseph bears little resemblence to his big brother Jesus Christ, Superstar, except for the scene in Superstar when the wacky...
Umpiring became an international crisis last week, when George Bell, a Toronto outfielder from the Dominican Republic, implied that baseball did not want a truly World Series and was conspiring against the Canadian semifinalist, which once employed a Canadian player. Nobody knows yet whether Arkansan Lloyd Moseby caught or trapped a crucial ball in centerfield, but that call and four or five other dubious ones went against Toronto. "If our ball club was American . . ." Bell grumbled three days before the Blue Jays finished squandering their 3-1 lead over Kansas City, thereby missing this week's date with St. Louis...
However diverting all the 1950s teenage nostalgia might be, Christopher Lloyd, as the crazy scientist, is in disputably the movie's comedic highpoint. Lloyd plays this gentle madman as a potentially brilliant inventor whose complicated schemes skirl the edges of insanity. His long, white hair flying and his glazed eyes wide open with wild intensity, Lloyd enters into the spirit of his role with a full and considered seriousness that makes Doc truly and artistically humorous...
