...have seen 30-second TV spots sponsored by the California office of tourism in which British TV Personality Denis Norden touts the merits of Hollywood, Disneyland and Fisherman's Wharf. "The Golden Gate is red," Norden intones while the majestic San Francisco bridge flickers onscreen, giving way to a stand of trees. "Giant redwoods are green." Europeans who want brochures on Disney World and other attractions in Florida can now write directly to a British address and get a quicker response than they would if they had to send an inquiry across the Atlantic...
None of the films that followed Splash -- Bachelor Party, Volunteers, The Money Pit, Nothing in Common and Dragnet -- attracted quite the attention that his first hit had.

...slim novel Capote produced at 23 was Other Voices, Other Rooms, which told of the painful growing up of a sensitive Southern child named Joel Knox, widely assumed to be a stand-in for the author. It was well written and convincingly atmospheric, with no word out of place. But what made Other Voices a sensation was an extravagantly campy photo of Capote on the dust jacket, reclining on a couch, wearing bangs and a look of degenerate satiation. His sexual orientation could not have been clearer if he had held a rose between his teeth...
