...Katharine Hepburn, Tracy's co-star in nine movies and his real-life love for more than 20 years, until his death in 1967. The evening featured her new documentary on Tracy (which will be on PBS this week). Following the recollections of such Tracy admirers as Frank Sinatra, Robert Wagner and Sidney Poitier, the 76-year-old Hepburn grinned broadly as she read off a list of Tracy's attributes, recorded when he first entered the academy: "Proportions -- good. Physical condition -- very good. Personality -- sensitive but masculine...
...Muffy from the short-lived television sit-com Square Pegs. Due to the poor screenwriting talents of Ezra Sacks, poor Terry is given a rather confused character make-up: she tells Hector that her father is a decorated Army flier but spins tales of her parents' opening for Frank Sinatra in Vegas for the erstwhile Jack. No explanation of these inconsistencies is ever provided. She's clearly a runaway, but from whom or what is unclear. In a rather impassioned speech to Jack, on whom she's predictably developed a school-girl crush, she whines that he has "options," albeit...
DIED. Nelson Riddle, 64, composer-orchestrator whose rich, driving arrangements were individually fitted to the styles of such pop greats as Judy Garland, Nat Cole, Linda Ronstadt and, most memorably, Frank Sinatra; of a heart attack; in Los Angeles.

The venerable Waldorf-Astoria, well trained in the care and feeding of outsize egos (Frank Sinatra and Lee Iacocca maintain permanent residences in the Waldorf Towers), employs a "flagman," whose sole duty is to keep track of the 115 foreign flags that the hotel keeps on hand and to fly the right ones for VIP guests. Since 40 foreign delegations are booked into Waldorf suites...
...Summers devotes most of his book to relatively unpublicized griefs, including a dozen abortions, several suicide attempts, and inconclusive liaisons with scores of men, from anonymous pickups to Marlon Brando, Frank Sinatra and Yves Montand. With the help of some 600 new interviews, Summers proposes but does not prove several dark scenarios, including the destruction of records linking Marilyn with her last lover, Robert Kennedy. Ultimately, Goddess portrays a born victim, an essentially simple soul far out of her depth. Her psychiatrist tells it all in one sentence. The day of her death, Marilyn "expressed considerable dissatisfaction that here...
