Researchers Mary Cronin and Catherine Rafferty completed the reporting, which included visits with Mia's mother and several of Dustin's close friends. The resulting picture of the two stars (or anti-stars) was a tantalizing study in contrasts. To sum up the contrasts, says Peter Bird Martin who edited the story, he and the Cinema staff started a kind of game of far-out comparisons-for example, Titania and Bottom. Other, even more ambitious efforts were worked into the story...
...child learning his nursery rhymes, Old Mother Hubbard would go like this: "The old dame piked for the chigrel nook/ For gorms for her ball belljeemer;/ The gorms had shied, the nook was strung,/ And the ball belljeemer had neemer."* Then there were the code names for nonch (not-nice) subjects. To go to bed with a girl was to burlap her, because one day in the 1890s someone walked into the general store, found no clerk, checked the storeroom and found him making love to a young lady on a pile of sacks.

...these orders, the sect established a home for girls in Singen, Germany where Bernadette lived after 1962, and a Swiss mountain retreat, where she lived her last days as a virtual prisoner.

The game of the name made Hoffman a loser from childhood. "I always used to wish there was another Dustin in class," he recalls. "When you're poked...
...some of those particles and put them together in vaguely chronological order. In nearly every respect, Farrow began as Hoffman's polar opposite. He was outside show business with his nose pressed up against the window. In Hollywood, Mia was Old Money: her father was Director John Farrow, her mother Actress Maureen O'Sullivan. The third of seven children, Mia was always the vulnerable one. "I got all the diseases," she recalls, "including polio when I was nine. The whole family had to be evacuated, and all my things burned. Even my magic box, full of things that were magical...
