...sometimes drawn flak from offended critics for their heavy emphasis on sex, particularly bisexuality and androgyny--which he calls "crucial" for breaking down preconceptions, citing David Bowie as an artistic hero and model. The "Paul aesthetic" also includes mylar--greatly in evidence in Twelfth Night and Agamemnon--electronic music, sinuous or overtly sexual body movement, and provocatively incongruous props. His attacking bear in Winter's Tale at the Agassiz this fall wore a Brown Bruins baseball cap and set fire to his victim's back with a cigarette lighter. The classically pastoral feast several scenes later was catered by McDonald...
...McKellen is perhaps the most respected classical actor of his generation in England (and the creator, on Broadway, of the sinuous Salieri in Ama-deus), but an adolescent's enthusiasm and wonder animate every moment of Ian McKellen Acting Shakespeare, the one-man divertissement in which he opened last week on Broadway for a five-week engagement. First concocted in 1976 and intermittently toured ever since, the show is an amalgam of personal reminiscences, theatrical lore and selections from Will Shakespeare's Greatest Hits. It gives McKellen a sort of actor's holiday untrammeled by directorial "concepts...
...patient of Sexologist Havelock Ellis, who described her in his autobiography as "a shy sinuous figure, so slender and so tall that she seemed frail, yet lithe, one divined, of firm and solid texture."

DIED. Carolyn Jones, 50, sultry, sinuous actress who played the ghoulamorous Morticia on television's The Addams Family; of cancer; in Beverly Hills. A promising starlet whose supporting performance as a love-starved beatnik in The Bachelor Party (1957) was nominated for an Oscar, Jones left the movies in 1964 to star for two years in the TV sitcom based on Charles Addams' offbeat New Yorker cartoons...
...perhaps a slightly different standard should be suggested. Every Breath You Take, the sinuous, sinister and entirely irresistible Police single, is the sound track of the late summer, the song of the season, just as Flashdance . . . What a Feeling and David Bowie's Let's Dance were early summer's anthems. There is no getting away from Every Breath You Take, with its whipcrack rhythms and cool, insinuating lyrics, and there is no wanting to, either. The song, and the album it comes from, are like a strange balm, at first soothing to hear, then more disturbing...
