...matching gestures and grunts. The enamored young couple, Ferdinand (David Marshall Grant) and Miranda (Jessica Nelson), who should breathe the spirit of nascent romance into the play, are equally dismaying. He seems like a rough and randy high school jock and she like a simp of a gum-chewing prom queen...
Crowned the "Queen of the Creepies" for her roles in such harem-scarems as Halloween and Prom Night, Actress Jamie Lee Curtis, 22, graduates to real life in her next part but still plays a victim. In the NBC-TV movie The Dorothy Straiten Story, Curtis will play the Playmate of the Year turned actress who was murdered last August by her husband.

...points. The coach had kept his mean streak going by insulting journalists, throwing his entire team out of practice and feuding with his star guard, All-American Isiah Thomas. Knight and the Hoosiers lived up to their billings in Philadelphia, storming through the Final Four like panzers at a prom. Indiana cowed a talented Louisiana State University team in the semifinals, then mercilessly picked apart Coach Dean Smith's elegantly orchestrated North Carolina Tar Heels in the championship game. And for good measure, Knight decked an L.S.U. fan, leaving him slumped in a trash...
