...anyway. On July 5 he will begin rehearsals for Funny Face, a stage version of the 1956 movie musical. He will co-choreograph and play the Fred Astaire part; Twiggy will take Audrey Hepburn's old role, and with luck the show will reach Broadway in the fall. Till then, tourists should not be alarmed if they hear whinnies in Times Square. It may just be Tommy Tune practicing some of those stylish steps he learned in the paddock back in Texas. - By Gerald Clarke. Reported by Elaine Dutka/New York
...STONES proved themselves eager to adapt--to changing musical styles, to writing and playing without Jones, to using the small army of part-time musicians they began carting around, and to making music which was no longer startling but was till by and large the best the genre had to offer. As a American listeners distracted themselves with disco, reggae, and new wave, the Stones decided to keep up rather than call it quits.

Last year Raiders of the Lost Ark sent Saturday-matinee chills down a record-breaking number of spines-another $310 million. Spielberg won plaudits as well as profits for his masterly film-making technique. Still, critics often accused him of creating Pavlovian exercises in zapme thrills-movie machines that destroyed, with...
Maybe. He says he likes to sleep till noon. But we cannot go around doing what we like, can we? He gets up at 6:45 a.m., reads the front page and the entertainment section of the Los Angeles Times, and is at work playing video games by 9 a.m. He shares an open, interconnected warren of offices with his close associates and alter egos Kennedy and Marshall. She is bright, quick and Irish, he relaxed and softspoken. The director trusts them totally. Between the two of them, they gently but firmly supply organization to the organization. That...
