Like many an out-of-towner visiting New York for the first time, pert Schoolgirl Linda Farmer headed straight for the cavernous Radio City Music Hall to see the big bash of a stage show. One gander at all those spangled chorines kicking away like a centipede with a hotfoot and she knew that she positively had to be a Rockette. Her qualifications were typical: head cheerleader at Hampton High in Hampton, Va., winner of the local Junior Miss contest, solo tap dancer at the Elks Club benefit and, most important, possessor of a great pair of gams...
...precocious novelist who will be around for a long time. At 19, Caroline Glyn, a great-granddaughter of Elinor Glyn, is technically a teenager, but in skill and imagination she is a veteran. Her first novel, Don't Knock the Corners Off, was a winning, blithe schoolgirl adventure that knocked all four corners off an English education-and she was 15 when she wrote it. In her third novel, Oldtimer Glyn looks again into the recent past and examines the chimerical age of 13 in an upsetting setting: a Girl Guide summer camp. For this delightful slip...
...Helen of Troy. Greek island location. Nine million-dollar budget. Already $5,000,000 over that. Disaster. Fault of Superstar Margaret Dayton. She disappears. How to render Margaret: get the way she fills the blue jeans. Banal but central. She has one hell of a behind. But remember: a schoolgirl animated by sex. Tell about Margaret's sex life. Husband's. Mama's. Producer's. Director's. Agent's. Co-star's. Don't forget character with shoe fetish. Add a little lesbianism. Anything else? No? O.K. Margaret returns. Shooting resumes. Everybody...
...Greco, like nearly every movie biography of a master painter, uses the artist's art in much the way that a schoolgirl uses paper lace to decorate her valentines. On the heart of this large mushy studio card, dripping with De-Luxe color and local color (from stunning location sites in Spain), is the usual message: Be Mine. Mel Ferrer as the young old master says it to Rosanna Schiaffino as the highborn senorita whose family will not allow her to be his. Rosanna ultimately dies in a convent, post partum and penitent, paying dearly for what began...
...first time, it seemed, since the flood, there were real tears in the old battler's eyes, as a schoolgirl presented a bouquet of 80 roses on the parade route outside Jerusalem. Then his car inched slowly forward, as a crowd of some 50,000 gave a rousing birthday cheer to Israel's ex-Premier David Ben-Gurion. "I am only 20," B-G said wistfully. "Four times 20." Though most Israelis were feeling sentimental about their nation's grand old man, Premier Levi Eshkol was not. Having feuded with Ben-Gurion almost since...
