...tackles on his photography assignments. She doesn't have to be holed up in some fashion salon or at the editor's desk of a fashion magazine. She's an independent gal who will prove to Jeff that even though she is from Park Avenue and knows the ritziest people in town (and could get him fashion shoots or portrait opportunities by the dozen in the City), she can weather anything...

...Rosemary's Baby is likely to forget the fortress that housed the satanic gathering. In real life, however, the forbidding turrets and gables guard one of the oldest, ritziest and most famous apartment buildings in Manhattan. It is the Dakota, behind whose 2-ft. -thick brick walls live such celebrities as Lauren Bacall, Roberta Flack, and John Lennon and Yoko Ono, who own some 28 rooms throughout the Dakota and who once held a séance to commune with departed tenants. Other famous occupants have included Leonard Bernstein, Judy Holliday and Boris Karloff, plus several purported house ghosts...
