Pouty sultriness seems to be in high demand these days, and Debra Winger, 27, has the pout that everyone touts. Through Urban Cowboy and An Officer and a Gentleman, her tousled curls and hazel eyes have made her a box-office wonder and an agent's dream. Next up are Mike's Murder, due out this fall, and Terms of Endearment, now filming in Nebraska, in which she plays the difficult daughter of Shirley MacLaine, 49. Early whispers report a battle offscreen as well as on between Winger and MacLaine. The onetime Irma la Douce used to toss...
...Kinski. Every feature of her young body comes to life before its lens. The wide, gray-green eyes send out satellite signals of precocity or perversity.

To confirm these rock-ribbed fears that the erstwhile Gator's preference has turned to that metaphorical dish, they might very well point to the scene in Best Friends where, with a pout and an arched eyebrow. Burt grumbles to Goldie Hawn: "I hate grits." It is, it seems, a final, symbolic denial of his celluloid past...
...official wedlock, it seems, has choked off their former love and friendship. But the deterioration is never made clear by the script; both characters pout and mope for a while, and in the end the marriage is not so much broken down or negated as merely shrugged...
