...second-largest pay-television service. Showtime, with 4 million-plus subscribers, is currently airing the sixth of her fanciful tales, The Sleeping Beauty, and plans to show three more by the end of the year. So far, Duvall has enticed Joan Collins, Elliott Gould, Maureen Stapleton and Mick Jagger into such unlikely vehicles as Hansel and Gretel and Jack and the Beanstalk...
