...moments of redeeming silliness. For the third straight year, a nagging rain dampened spirits, and neither green-haired mimes nor 6-ft.-tall strolling Care Bears could lure visitors outside. The weather also diminished opportunities for the festival's oldest and most assiduously recorded sideshow: the ritual display of starlet flesh. Young women desiring to disrobe in public were forced to go high tech. Isabelle Solar, chief ornament of the French soft-core epic Joan, could be seen on the closed-circuit hotel TV network slipping into a steamy bubble bath. In other respects, Cannes voyeurism may be entering...
Yallop, 47, who has written several investigative books, including a biography of Fatty Arbuckle, in which he exonerates the comedian of involvement in a starlet's death, spent three years researching In God's Name. Still, the theory is hardly fresh. An even more astounding tale swirled about the Vatican immediately after John Paul I died: that the first attempt to slip the Pope a poisoned cup of tea had gone awry and killed a guest instead. Moreover, there was nothing unusual about the lack of an autopsy after John Paul I's death: autopsies are never...
...24th birthday by the family of his latest lovely, Katie Rabett, 23. Andrew, who met the bonny Rabett at a Halloween party last year, is said to have received the nod of approval from the Queen, who was not at all amused by his earlier, well-publicized adventures with Starlet Koo Stark.

In 1921 he shadowed Comedian Fatty Arbuckle, implicated in the death of a starlet, and noted: "His eyes were the eyes of a man who expected to be regarded as a monster ... I made my gaze as contemptuous as I could." It could have been the stuff of hard-boiled detective literature; instead it was the stuff of hard-boiled detective life: the life lived by Dashiell Hammett, creator of The Thin Man and The Maltese Falcon. A voracious reader of Henry James, before he switched to the school of hard knocks, Hammett wrote four...
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...
