...charts. But there was still something missing, so his handlers suggested a take-it-off takeoff of the now famous Richard Avedon portrait of Natassia Kinski, 21, with a languorous python at her thigh. For Atkins, that meant posing in the outfit that he is best known for on-screen and lying cheek by jowl with a 6-ft.-long, 20-lb. female boa constrictor. The result is a gripping bit of publicity, although Freud might be puzzled about just what Atkins is really revealing...

Only Elizabeth McGovern seems out of tune and time. She plays Evelyn Nesbit as the daffily dumb prototype for every bombshell from Marilyn to Bo-cheeks puffed...
