...given a print interview in more than a year), a capacity for gentleness, and a tolerance for fantasy that might tax the average adult imagination. Jackson lives at home in Encino, Calif., with his mother, father and two youngest sisters. He supervised the recent redesigning of the sprawling Tudor house, and the result is a cross between a vest-pocket Disneyland and Citizen Kane's Xanadu in suburbia (see following story). The menagerie, the soda fountain, the screening room are dream toys of childhood and the diversions of Southern California show-business affluence, all awash in the pastels of perennial...

Gelsey Kirkland and Kevin Mckenzie were the leading dancers in this magnificent piece that combined amazing technical achievements with a tranquillizing, Swirling scene. The dance is plotless and merely alternates different couples dancing in pairs and in groups on stage in front of a new-green act. The dancers were all costumed in gauzy, chiffon material that increased the hazy, beautiful effect Kirkland and Mckenzie performed brilliantly. They seemed to be perfectly suited to each other and never...
