...much himself since his first novel, Bright Lights, Big City, was published in 1984, McInerney knows how generic the whole experience is. The main character in Model Behavior just hits a button on his keypad to produce a paragraph about an actor living in Montana (CTRL, Mont) or a starlet claiming she still thinks of herself as ugly (SHIFT, What, me sexy?) for the magazine profiles he writes. But McInerney's characters haven't grown up since Bright Lights: instead of going dancing at the Studio 54 successor Limelight, they go to the still newer club, Chaos; instead of doing...
...that looks naive--but it's certain nobody was thinking masterpiece. The films were often shot in a weekend with untested actors who had to get it right the first time; to producers, the only truly obscene phrase was "Take Two."

Before Sarah Ferguson captured Prince Andrew's heart and the tabloid headlines, there was American-born Koo Stark, a onetime soft-porn film starlet whose liaison with the prince sparked media madness in 1982. After Andrew returned from the Falklands war, the two were sighted frolicking on Mustique. Stills of a nude Koo from her notorious films were splattered across the London tabs. Koo later married Tim Jefferies, heir to a trading-stamp fortune, but the union lasted only a year. Since then she has run her own photography business. Always discreet concerning her romance with Andrew, she is reportedly...
