...worst forms of pressure came from the hostages' complete dependence on their captors. They had to ask permission to perform the simplest activities, from drinking a glass of water to even going to sleep. Said Air Force Captain Neal ("Terry") Robinson, 27, an administrator in the embassy's budget section: "They were our fathers and mothers...
...Crimson Key shows Love Story every year, so that you can ogle the Harvard settings and release all that pent-up aggression by jeering at former Yale professor Erich Segal's heart-burning drivel. You can also think about the decay of Ali McGraw's and Ryan O'Neal's careers since then--proof, I guess, that there is a God. Last year, as Ryan whined, "Love--(beat)--means never having to say you're sorry," the film got caught in the projector and a big brown blotch quickly bubbled over his face, smote, perhaps, by that great Film Critic...
...prettiness of Terrence Malick's Days of Heaven, is the oldest of the lot at nearly 18, but she looks the youngest; in the Malick film, shot three years ago, she seems no older than twelve.

Tatum O'Neal auditioned for her role in Paper Moon without knowing what was going on. Director Peter Bogdanovich dropped by the O'Neal house, and Tatum's cool backchat persuaded him to hire...
...closings tend to be happier than old ones, with boy getting girl after all, or star surviving rather than perishing. In Apache (1954), Burt Lancaster was first killed, then allowed to live on. What's Up Doc? (1972) initially ended with a bittersweet goodbye between Ryan O'Neal and Barbra Streisand at an airport, but by the time the film was released Barbra was on the plane and cuddling with Ryan. Irene Dunne died heroically in A Guy Named Joe (1943) and joined Spencer Tracy in heaven, but came back to life after MGM ordered a new finish...
