Two days earlier, Long's costar and fellow Cheers waitress, Rhea Perlman, 36, also gave birth in New York City to a daughter, the second child for her and Actor Husband Danny DeVito, 40, star of TV's rerunning Taxi and films (Romancing the Stone).

A New Jersey hash-house waitress, all thumbs and fanzine fantasies, she can remember whom Lew Ayres used to date but not who just ordered eggs over easy. So she has lost her job. Would that she could lose her husband Monk (Danny Aiello) so easily.

...death, or pay hard cash to hear, Goldie Hawn's. For as executive producer and star of Protocol, she posits the notion that to secure a strategic base in a mythical Arabian emirate, the U.S. Government would act as procurer for the pasha. As the Washington cocktail waitress who catches the Emir's eye when she saves him from assassination, Hawn has some good funny moments dealing with the celebrity that follows from her heroism. But Director Herbert Ross stages farce awkwardly, and Buck Henry must have hated writing her closing speech, in which she soberly advises...
