...about 5 ft. 6 in., weighs about 128 Ibs., has brown eyes and chestnut hair. Picked as Miss Rome of 1946, she went on to a bit part in a film and a job modeling clothes, was finally offered the role of the girl who gets attacked by the sadist in Bitter Rice. The salary: $800. "The day after the picture was released," says an Italian moviemaker, "she was worth $8,000,000." She promptly married her producer, had a baby, bulged to a maternal 192 Ibs.

There is Dincher the trumpeter, who thinks he can trade hot licks with Louis Armstrong; Timmy the homosexual dancer; Louella, a kittenish advance-guard poetess who wants to hang out with real cats; an impotent sadist who pushes (sells) junk to schoolchildren, and a sordid slew of others. Diane has a ball (doped-up good time) with all of them, but can't escape her own ritualistic premise: "There's nothing. There's nowhere, everything is empty." She ricochets from man to man in love affairs as monotonous as the click of billiard balls...
