...unthreatening masculinity of a slightly more serious Burt Reynolds. Others are getting on-the-job training. "I try as hard as I can, but I see where I need improvement," says Barton. Still others, like the wooden Scalia, appear to have graduated from the Ali MacGraw School of Thespian Arts. "I would have preferred it if Scalia had had some acting experience," admits Thurm, who brought him into television. "But we weren't asking him to play King Lear." Bo Derek, meet Jack Scalia and Peter Barton and Rick Edwards and . . . - By Gerald Clarke. Reported by Denise Worrell /Los...
...company, as usual, acquits itself competently. No single actor steals the show or dazzles with thespian brilliance, but all-perform convincingly. Karen MacDonald as Natasha is appropriately flamboyant and flouncing.

With 3,000 recruits being trained this year, maneuvers are difficult to conduct around 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Explains Special Agent Mary Ann Gordon: "It's better if you know...

Details as thin as his hair, which is combed forward in little bangs. A sure sign of flabby moral fiber and questionable sexual orientation. Only precedent, either thespian or tonsorial, is Frank Thring as Pontius Pilate in Ben-Hur. What he did to Charlton Heston the fellow in the blue blazer is doing to Port Charles, the town in which General Hospital is situated. Mr. Blue Blazer turns out to be Mikkos Cassadine, an amuck plutocrat who means...
