...Keller. Her ultimate film experience was playing a vampish Hollywood star called Fedora, who has something in her of Garbo, Dietrich and Gloria Swanson. After working non-stop for a year and a half (earlier films: Black Sunday, Bobby Deerfield), Marthe, 33, has been resting in her Left Bank mansion in Paris. This week she will return to Manhattan and the apartment she shares with Actor Al Pacino. When she is ready to work again, it may be back to the boards. Says Marthe: "My only dream is to go back to the stage-and why not on Broadway...

The youngest of his five sons, Ray Hunt, 34, is quiet almost to the point of being self-effacing. Yet surprisingly, Ray has wound up running-and streamlining -about half of the empire that H.L. once commanded...
...mistress. "A year ago, when Victor was still a tax accountant, he fished Elsa out of his typists' pool. She flapped and wriggled a little, and then lay still, legs gently parted."
