...rest of his book. One major problem is the treatment of Kathleen, Stahr's lover. Pinter and Kazan apparently took their cues from a line in the novel in which Stahr refers to Kathleen as a "Beautiful Doll." Ingrid Boulting is precisely that--a porcelain figure, heavily made-up and beautiful to look at, but seemingly ready to break at a touch.

Iman, 20, who speaks fluent English, learned in the missionary schools she attended until age 15, arrived in Manhattan last week looking well-coiffed, made-up and clothed in jungle chic. "She's very distinguished, with a beautiful head and lovely long throat," observed Diana Vreeland, former editor of Vogue. Wilhelmina projected Iman's first-year salary at $80,000, prompting Beard to boast: "I feel like it's My Fair Lady...
