...paid his dues. He kicked around various movie studios and did minor TV work - Maverick, The Alaskans, Ivanhoe - for years before The Saint landed in his lap. It was heaven-sent: just like that he was famous and rich, and after moving on to a one-season series, The Persuaders with Tony Curtis, he was more so. (Curtis comes across as a crusty and eccentric character whose obsession with his gloves was so great that he left them on when he washed his hands. In his own memoir, also out this month, Curtis describes himself and Moore as "the best...
...Down button, and her stock fell as fast as it rose. The DeMille circus spectacular was her last major movie. She took a rodeo to Broadway (for three weeks), headlined the first big original musical for television (some considered it a fiasco) and in 1959 fronted a one-season sitcom (where her domineering attitude had other actors referring to her as Nero).

...Chair One of this year's most heavily promoted design debuts was Go, the world's first chair in magnesium, a metal lighter than aluminum. For a humble stacking chair it wasn't cheap - $700 and up - but Go has a lot going for it. The spindly silhouette by designer Ross Lovegrove has the glamour of liquid mercury. Just sitting, the thing looks like it's launching into warp drive. An overhyped one-season wonder? We think this chair has legs...
