Dennis Quaid remembers the Alamo. "I used to play the Battle of San Jacinto as a kid," says the Houston-born star, above center, with Spanish actor JORDI MOLLA, right. Quaid, with the aid of some happenin' muttonchops and the largest standing movie set in North America (50-plus acres), plays General Sam Houston in The Alamo, due out Christmas Day. Directed by fellow Texan John Lee Hancock, who teamed up with Quaid in 2002's The Rookie, this account of the Lone Star State's battle for independence from Mexico shares little with the 1960 John Wayne film...
...Molla Bjurstedt Mallory, eight times U.S. champion between 1915 and 1926, thought a woman should admit "that she is a woman and adopt a style of tennis play which will call for all the generalship and strength which she can claim--but not for more."

Jung is arrested after Barbara’s death and thrown into jail, where he shares a cell with a Colombian, Diego Delgado (Spanish actor Jordi Molla, making his American feature film debut). Upon Jung’s release, Diego introduces him to Pablo Escobar (Cliff Curtis). It’s not the most pleasant of first meetings—Escobar shoots someone point blank in the forehead—but Escobar takes a shine...
...Died. Molla Bjurstedt Mallory, 67, Norwegian-born tennis ace who won the U.S. Women's Singles championship eight times (1915 to 1927) by a trick of hitting the ball just before it reached its height; in Stockholm, Sweden...
...last week she did beat both Louise Brough and Darlene Hard to win the Essex County Invitational tournament in Manchester, Mass. She may not yet be close to the steady, spectacular game that was the hallmark of women's tennis in the days of Suzanne Lenglen and Molla Mallory, of Helen Wills Moody and Helen Jacobs. The champions of a few years ago-Pauline Betz, Doris Hart, Maureen Connolly-could probably have beaten her. But at an age when all the other topflighters are slipping downhill or have retired (e.g., Maureen Connolly, Shirley Fry), Althea is improving steadily...
