...expected later this month, Actress Tuesday Weld probably had maternity rather than method acting on her mind during the filming of F. Scott Fitzgerald in Hollywood. The ABC-TV film, to be shown on March 7, stars Exorcist Actor Jason Miller as the Lost Generation novelist (The Great Gatsby, Tender Is the Night) and Weld as his exotic and eventually psychotic wife Zelda. Unlike Miller, who read a small shelf of Fitzgerald books and biographies before tackling the script, Weld insists that she did absolutely nothing to prepare for her role.

"If I had subordinated my needs to the needs of the company, and knelt before the throne, they would have taken good care of me the rest of my life.

Milwaukee-born Neumeier, 33, was a disciple of John Cranko, the late artistic director of the Stuttgart Ballet. Cranko's tender Romeo and Juliet and rollicking The Taming of the Shrew showed that good ballets can be based on Shakespeare's plays. Hamlet Connotations proves that choreographers can make bad ones as well. Set to a trio of astringent pieces by Aaron Copland, Neumeier's stripped-down, expressionistic dance is simplistically Oedipal: Mother Gertrude seems as much in love with...
