Bags Packed. Hollywood is now eager to adopt Actress Kelly, white gloves and all, and is trying hard, with the air of an ill-at-ease lumberjack worrying whether he is using the right spoon. But Grace shows no interest in the Hollywood way of life, or even in having the customary swimming pool ("I don't swim that much"). Thus far, she has lived with a sister or a girl friend in a furnished, two-room North Hollywood apartment, acting as" if she considered herself on location, with her bags packed ready to go back to New York...

But lately, De Kooning has become obsessed with a creature he calls "woman." It bears some resemblance to the Mom made infamous by Author Philip Wylie. De Kooning's women (opposite) are certainly the most violent and perhaps the most powerful paintings in the entire Biennale.
