...survived a harrowing 360 degrees spinout to win the Indianapolis 500. "I've had spins before, and I've gotten away with some of them," he said a few days after smoking to victory 2.5 sec. ahead of Mario Andretti. A sometime magazine model and former New York City taxi driver, Sullivan, 35, popped up in Manhattan for a post-Indy lap in a cab. He complains that his go-go playboy image is blown out of proportion. "Everyone talks about the glamour life of racing," he says. "I play hard, but I work hard too." It's just that...

In Coming Home, he became more sympathetic, though in one character he was a cripple, and in another, bitter and troubled and suicidal. The Deer Hunter ended with an elegiac singing of God Bless America in a blue-collar bar in Pennsylvania...
...money manager: a daughter, their first child; in Los Angeles. Two days earlier, Long's costar and fellow Cheers waitress, Rhea Perlman, 36, also gave birth in New York City to a daughter, the second child for her and Actor Husband Danny DeVito, 40, star of TV's rerunning Taxi and films (Romancing the Stone).
