...Madelon Rosenfeld, a former criminal lawyer now working as an independent producer in New York City, was on the phone to Wilshire Court Productions in Los Angeles just hours after the World Trade Center bombing. Her proposal: How about a TV movie based on the heroic deeds performed by everyday folks caught in the disaster? On Saturday, one day after the explosion, she started meeting with people: two Brooklyn teachers whose kindergarten students were caught in the blast; a telephone repairman who set up a triage area for the injured; a mechanic who led six people to safety from...

Not surprisingly, Fuller's cholesterol level went into orbit -- 324 mg per 100 ml of blood, in contrast to an optimal level of 200 mg -- and by age 44 she had had triple-bypass surgery.

Cordelia, at any rate, the vessel of all love and virtue, may be a more difficult role than Lear. Her sisters Goneril and Regan, Madelon Hambro and Emily Levine, are excellent bitches but bad actresses. They read lines in a shrewish monotone which neither entertains nor shocks, and they fail to distinguish between themselves so that their characters, except for different dresses, might be identical. Regan should be the softer, nicer of the two, but both come...
