Confronted with the cold biographical facts, Lead Guitarist Johnny Ramone clams up like a good JD facing his first joyride rap. "We never say our real names," he allows with teasing stubbornness that combines the flirtatiousness of a starlet who has just been asked her age and the sacred silence of a button man pleading the Fifth. If pressed, Johnny will elaborate: "We can't subject our parents to this. I never told them in the beginning about the band. They'd have said, 'Stop this, you can't even play a song.' I waited...
...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).

As she recalls, "I wasn't interested in being an actress at first, but when I walked onto that set, I started to become obsessed with film." Now the magnificent obsession has led to a new job in which the former actress and model will continue to face tough hombres. Last week Lansing, 35, was named president of production at 20th Century-Fox Pictures, putting her in charge...
...more than just another gorgeous face. The typical Hollywood starlet may think that August Strindberg is a hot new agent, but Streep played Miss Julie at Vassar. Beginning her professional stage career in New York only four years ago, she conquered prized roles in Shakespeare (Measure for Measure, Henry V, The Taming of the Shrew), Chekhov (The Cherry Orchard) and Brecht-Weill (Happy End), as well as in works by Arthur Miller and Tennessee Williams. This repertory training came to Meryl because she was ready for it; her education went on in public, but critics and audiences did the learning...
