Raisa Gorbachev made almost as big a hit in London as her husband. A former student of philosophy at Moscow State University, the chic and slender Mrs. Gorbachev showed up at one reception wearing a white satin evening dress and a pair of gold lame sandals. Photographers were so captivated by her that they presented her with a bouquet when she left. Mrs. Gorbachev and her future husband met as students in the 1950s. Their daughter, who is believed to be in her late 20s, and son-in-law reportedly are both doctors...
...prime time, on such shows as Cagney & Lacey and Kate & Allie. Moreover, several of the season's glitziest newcomers-like ABC's Glitter, which was taken off the air after just three episodes-have been struggling in the ratings.

The Spanish Sinatra, as he is sometimes called, has sold well over 100 million records in six languages...
...best colors? The yellow of a taxicab, the blue of the sky on Kennedy's Inauguration Day, the pink of a Provence carnation. Her hero is her husband of 46 years, whom she refers to almost solely in terms of his exquisite clothes-felt hats as smooth as satin, overcoats that Garbo loved. Helena Rubinstein is remembered for the beauty of her buttonholes, Clark Gable for the best eyelashes she ever saw.
