...financial support and needs for the rest of her life in the same style and manner commensurate with the life-style of King." The suit also contends that King and her sports promoter husband Larry, whom she married in 1965, purchased a $200,000 Malibu beach house for Bar nett's use and promised to deed it to her eventually. During the mid-1970s, many of Barnett's duties were phased out, and in 1979, she says, the Kings ordered her out of the house. Barnett, however, has refused to leave...
...galaxy far, far away for the past decade or so could describe it sight unseen. Bobby Lee Burnett (Bruce Dem) prospers building taco stands. His wife ( Ann-Margret) is driving him slightly bananas, but she is pleasant enough beneath her Southern accent and her kittenish sexual ways.

As a dancer-cumactress, Donna McKechnie is an un crowned star. But just to indicate the medals that the entire cast has earned, they have collectively appeared in 88 different productions, in which they have given a total...
...doomed civilization in Osborne's first play, Look Back in Anger (1956). But now Osborne, who has shifted to the right in recent years, finds much to mourn in that civilization's passing. The bright, bitchy banter of the sisters-one notably played by Jill Ben nett (Mrs. John Osborne)-is pierced by nostalgia when the old writer reminisces about damp England, colonial days, his own youth when he never really felt young. The latter-day equivalent of Jimmy Porter, a visiting American hippie, can only splutter four-letter words in return, the abstract tokens of a rage...
