...acre Seguin Island off the coast of Maine. And for a small stipend, give tours of the historic lighthouse, work at the small store and museum attached to the lighthouse, and keep a daily log of the sunset, sunrise and tides. For retirees Michael Brzoza, 51, and his wife Marilyn Lucey, 60, it was irresistible. "We loved the idea of living on a beautiful island 2½ miles out to sea," says Lucey, a former toy designer. "We could see whales and migrating birds. We could pick wild raspberries and tend a vegetable garden...
...Apollo 11 commander NEIL ARMSTRONG, the fiber that finished him was hair. An Ohio barber sold clippings of Armstrong's hair for $3,000 to a middleman, who got them to a Connecticut collector of curls from Abraham Lincoln, Charles Dickens, Marilyn Monroe and others.

These posters, one of Marilyn Monroe, and one an ad for Casablanca, are part of a mural which decorates the entire front of the theater. It was done by Joshua Winer, a 1986 graduate of Harvard’s Graduate School of Design, the top while he was still a student here, the bottom, several years later. If you look up, above the ticket window and the marquee, you will see what...
...made her first impression in a portrayal of Marilyn Monroe for the 1980 TV movie Marilyn, the Untold Story. But Catherine Hicks did not expect to impersonate another sex symbol when she signed up for Fever Pitch. Hicks, 34, plays a Las Vegas cocktail waitress named Flo who, it turns out, bears more than a passing resemblance to Marlene Dietrich. Hicks took on the look of the legendary German actress after Director Richard Brooks suggested that she dress like an old-time movie star instead of your typical casino bunny. "I always loved The Blue Angel," said the star...
