Wood, 43, acted in her first movie when she was four, and though the critical praise was niggardly, she always had work. Brainstorm was her 46th movie, and her role required only three more days of filming. On a weekend hiatus, Wood, Husband Robert Wagner (star of TV's Hart to Hart) and her leading man-sallow and rangy Christopher Walken, 38-headed for the sea.

Francis Ford Coppola comes so close to coaxing this monstrous myth into flight. Yet, at the end he fails because he abandons it. Making myth isn't enough for Coppola, he has to lay bare Evil. But a behemoth--like Marlon Brando, fingering his pate in semi-darkness...
