Animals, however, can sometimes be more temperamental than the sexiest starlet. With no fear of being dropped from the cast, furry or feathery actors often fail to perform. The directors of a Minute Maid commercial went through three roosters and 4,000 ft. of film trying to get one second's worth of crowing. Some animals are doggoned prima donnas. Ruth, a shaggy dog star for the Dawn rental agency in New York City, is famous for pushing away her bowl in pet food ads. She makes about $25,000 a year and insists on being the closest...

...they were just good pals who used to cook dinner for each other occasionally. Sellers is outraged by this dismissal of an event that he believes changed his life (he is barely mentioned in the bestselling, authorized book about Loren by A.E. Hotchner). In 1964 he met and married Starlet Britt Ekland; the courtship took eleven days. Though their off-again, on-again marriage lasted to the end of the decade, she is about to publish an autobiography in which Sellers is portrayed as a cold, distant husband.
