Bendix 's former veep lands at Seagram...
...could the 29-year-old executive Wunderkind, who was forced to resign from Bendix Corp. last October, get back on the fast track at a major firm? No problem. After considering and discarding a flock of other offers, she last week accepted a "six figure" post with Joseph E. Seagram & Sons, Inc., a subsidiary of the Seagram Co., Ltd., the world's largest distiller (1980 sales: $2.5 billion).

He's a middle-aged shlemiel of an accountant-a surly, sulky Bob Newhart-with a restless young wife and a fatal case of paranoia. Lillian (Deborah Harry) thinks she's Betty Bacall: purple nightgowns, lots of makeup and suggestive patter, gentleman friend on the side. She's not. She's a housewife who cannot keep house, and whose only escape from her drab apartment...
