...many cases the women themselves have trumpeted the message that older is better, or at least just as good: Olivia Newton-John, gracing a People cover proclaiming her relationship with a younger man; actress Leslie Ann Warren chatting with Tonight Show hostess Joan Rivers about her junior-aged beau; TV star Joan Collins posing nude for Playboy, followed in this month's issue by ex-Congressional wife Jenrette and former "Raging Bull" spouse Vicki LaMotta. Most notably, TV's highest rated soaps Dallas and Dynasty, both feature steamy liaisons between mature women and nubile males...
...much like what she sees on MTV ("The videos are like old Monkees shows. They're nonsense, a real waste of time and money"), but she is now writing a new album "as it should be done. I'm writing the video as I write the songs." Olivia Newton-John actually hired a video writer to run up a script for an album that will be planned around the resultant scenario. Songwriters will receive a précis and be asked to compose to order...
...love John Travolta in Moment by Moment? Did you swoon for Olivia Newton-John in Xanadu? Then you are a true connoisseur of incompetence, and you won't want to miss Two of a Kind. Five years ago, these two appealing stars teamed for the monster hit Grease. Now Writer-Director John Herzfeld has chosen a different 1978 hit to emulate and trash: Heaven Can Wait.

In 1982 he tries to explain to Anne what motivated the earlier characters Grace gives a delightfully stylized and vapid performance endowing Hany with deeply sunk eyes and a degenerate sense of humor...
Heat and Dust is a magnificent composition, as beautiful as any of the Schumann pieces that Olivia plays throughout the film. The cinematography is as lovely as the acting, and the two plots, so cleverly woven together, mesmerize us for the entire two and a half hours. The climax of the film shows Ivory at his best: Olivia and her princely lover look serenely out of the window of their house, just as Anne peers in, looking for remnants of her aunt. Olivia and Anne seem to look straight into each other's eyes, but seconds later we realize that...
