...course, but now she has told all to Writer A.E. Hotchner in Sophia: Living and Loving (Morrow; $9.95). Or nearly all. In Manhattan last week, at the beginning of a six-city U.S. promotion tour, Sophia shrugged off reports that Peter Sellers, who had starred with her in The Millionairess, was upset about not being cited as one of her loves.

In fact, with her new autobiography, My Life, selling at a brushfire pace in 17 languages, Golda at 77 may soon find herself a millionairess. She has already received a $450,000 advance from her British publishers, Weidenfeld & Nicolson, and royalties and film rights could more than double that figure. However, the loot is fast becoming an embarrassment to Golda, who has long shunned any trappings of wealth. She has planned a small addition onto...
