...film also introduces to our shores Miss Barbara Windsor, who rose to stardom in Fings Ain't Wot They Used T'Be. Playing the unfaithful wife, she is a stunning sexpot (measurements 38-22-35) with a remarkable platinum poodle-pompadour (not a wig either), Britain's talented answer to the dumb-blonde Judy Holliday of Born Yesterday. (Incidentally, Miss Windsor will appear as a guest on Johnny Carson's Tonight show on television tomorrow night...
Headed for stardom, she wheeled around Hollywood in a Thunderbird, collected a sizable list of screen credits (Francis of Assisi, Where the Boys Are, Lisa), and made $50,000 playing a jet-paced stewardess in her most recent movie, Come Fly With Me. But for blonde Dolores Hart, 24, fame and flight pay were not enough. Each year since 1958, she has spent four weeks at a Roman Catholic retreat. Last week, making the break complete, Dolores slipped away from the movie colony to enter Regina Laudis Monastery in Bethlehem, Conn., as a postulant. Said...
...looks like his grandfather, and he plays with some of that same determination." Thus his high school coach predicts college stardom for Charles Cobb, 17, a protean redhead and grandson of baseball's alltime great, Ty Cobb, who died in 1961.

So is her new-found stardom. At 21, with only eight films to her credit, Miss Mimieux (pronounced Mee-mee-yer) captured the plum part of the rich, put-upon child-bride in the screen version of Lillian Hellman's Toys in the Attic, for which she receives top billing, right along with Geraldine Page...
Unshaven Scholarship. A tall, green-eyed, 29-year-old Irishman with an overflow of dark blond hair, O'Toole is at least prepared for his prepackaged stardom. Unlike, say, Warren Beatty-who had never been seen in anything more exacting than a high school football game before being hailed as a superstar-Peter O'Toole was trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, and is a veteran of both the Bristol Old Vic and the Shakespeare company at Stratford on Avon. Critics have variously cited his "huge resources" and "sinewy vitality," his capacity to deliver lines...
