Dark, slinky, with a faintly Oriental mien and a marvelously adaptable mouth, Cornell was dubbed the American Duse. After indelibly establishing her star status as the sultry Iris March in Michael Arlen's The Green Hat, she later chose rich dramatic roles in the "Katharine Cornell Presents" company she founded with McClintic in 1931. Its first production, The Barretts of Wimpole Street, featured Cornell as the consumptive Elizabeth Barrett. In 1933 Cornell took the company on a landmark 21,000-mile road trip through the U.S., bringing The Barretts, Shaw's Candida and Romeo and Juliet to such...
...Also, Giscard's image is that of a man who is brilliant, aristocratic and cool; no one has ever accused him of not being sérieux. The audiences at his rallies, considerably younger than those at Chaban's, thoroughly enjoy it when Giscard drops his professorial mien to demolish a heckler with cutting repartee.

But considering its sprawling length, Stalin is remarkably free from boredom. This is a token of its visual mesmerism and incessant variety. One moment the stern, noble mien of the aged Sigmund Freud will appear as he walks about the stage on his wife's arm in supportive dignity; the next moment, 32 dancing ostriches; and the next, Wilson's 88-year-old grandmother from Waco, Texas, in a walk-on, talk-on bit.

...stocky man with a serious mien and a sharp, witty manner, Anderson, 50, is so obsessive about his work that he has remained a determined bachelor; marriage, he says, "would be fatal. I would have obligations elsewhere." He has holed up in the same book-littered flat for 16 years, sometimes choosing not even to answer his phone. He dresses with studied shabbiness and cultivates an aversion for big hotels, big parties and fancy restaurants. "He hates anything fashionable," says Actor Malcolm McDowell. "If we go to a restaurant and there are socialites there, he gets up and leaves...
