...SKELTON SHOW (CBS, 8:30-9:30 p.m.). John Wayne celebrates his 40th year in movies by joining Red in a few familiar-sounding skits like "The High and the Flighty" and "Hominy and True Grit." The Baja Marimba Band makes music for the occasion...

Bystanders kept her husband from Guillermin's throat, and Ewa dropped out of the cast of El Condor in a fury. "If the producer wants a show girl, he should contact one," she said. "It would be much cheaper for him all around." Ewa had previously objected to two "superfluous" skin bits in the Spanish western, one a bed scene with Jim Brown and the other a nude-at-the-window scene in front of a large...
