...right one of these decades. In 1935 Mutiny on the Bounty unquestionably belonged to Charles Laughton's Captain Bligh. The perverse joy that grand actor took in his character's sadism entirely dominated Clark Gable's conventionally heroic Fletcher Christian. In 1962, when Marlon Brando came on board for a star trip, his Mr. Christian took the helm, dramatically speaking, long before his character, leading the mutineers, had seized it.

...brothers, both as the Jackson 5 and later simply as the Jacksons, made up one of the most appealing and popular rhythm-and-blues acts of the '70s.

Superstar Michael Jackson, 25, was announcing plans for a reunion album and a 40-city tour, starting in May, with his singing siblings. Sporting flashy threads and flashing shades, Michael and his five brothers-Jackie, 22, Jermaine, 28, Marlon, 26, Randy, 21, and Tito, 30-obligingly posed for the press but left the talking to King, who predicted that the act would be "the largest-grossing, largest-netting tour ever."
