...tense moment in the interview--I asked him to defend his rock opera about Mormonism--and I panicked. It's not that I was intimidated by Osmond's fame so much as I knew he had been working out a lot for a Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat video. Plus, I didn't know if Mormons had any special powers, the way Scientologists have with lawsuits...
Marilyn may represent some unique alchemy of sex, talent and Technicolor. She is pure movies. I recently watched her as Lorelei Lee in her musical smash, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.

To the words, "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn," I found myself in cinematic raptures that almost resulted in my gagging on a popcorn kernel. In fourth grade, when every other girl in my class aspired to be Paula Abdul, I wanted to be Scarlett O'Hara. During this formative time, I underwent a mercifully brief period where I let Scarlett's Georgian accent bleed into...
