...their venison," as Johnny Carson once said) goes no further. Dad (Jack Elam) is a shaggy boozer with an itchy foot and no talent at all for drawing uplifting morals from life's little disasters. "Hard work gives a man character-and a slight stoop," he says. Mom is dead, and the head of the family is Truckie (Gary Busey) a 24-year-old high school dropout who is more admired by his siblings because he has done time for "grand theft, auto" than for his efforts to raise them respectably while completing his self-reformation by returning...

...family meeting around our kitchen table with Mom, Dad and me," recalled Entertainer Ann-Margret, 33, last week. "We decided that I would drop my last name so they wouldn't be hurt. Sometimes things get printed that aren't very nice." Most of what has been written about the curvate star in recent times, at least, has been eminently printable. For her special this winter on NBC, the durable sex kitten is taking the step of readopting her full name: Ann-Margret Olsson.
