...tough-guy movie hero these days, it doesn't matter whether he can dish it out; he has to be able to take it. He must be a Zen stoic who overdoses on pain in order to prove himself to himself. In Barbarosa, Willie Nelson lies placidly in his own new grave; he cauterizes his own stomach wound with flaming gunpowder; an enemy's bullet creases his cheek-not a word, not a whine, not so much as a flinch.

...California at Los Angeles. The presentation at U.C.L.A. looked like lunchtime at the studio commissary 40 years ago. On hand were Fred, 83, and Ginger, 70, Dee and husband, Joel McCrea, 76, Jane Russell, 61, Sam Jaffe, 91, Ralph Bellamy, 78, Rhonda Fleming, 58, Rudy Vallee, 80, Harriet Nelson, 67, Laraine Day, 61, and Jane Wyatt, 69. Another famous former RKO star couldn't make it but sent his best. He starred in Cattle Queen of Montana in 1954 and Tennessee's Partner in 1956 for the studio, but Ronald Reagan, 71, was busy playing to a full...
