Trudeau, 60, did not spell out his reasons for relinquishing the Liberal leadership; yet it was clear from his lackluster performance as the top spokesman of the opposition that he was bored with the job. Liberal stalwarts in western Canada were dismayed two weeks ago when he begged off from a party gathering because he had "the flu." Their dismay turned to anger when they saw in their newspapers a photograph of Trudeau cantering into a Manhattan disco. His estranged wife, Margaret, who once frequented such night spots, has bought a townhouse in Ottawa to be near the couple...
...himself the creature would hardly have been a match for a hippo or any other large animal he might have encountered. Scarcely 5 ft. tall, he probably weighed no more than 120 lbs. Yet he did show promise. Most anthropologists now regard Homo erectus (literally, erect man) as modern man's immediate ancestor...
Director-Writer Robert Benton and his cast have made their own Scenes from a Marriage-a domestic drama that starts at a wrenching pitch and builds and builds to the threshold of pain. Yet the film is not imitation Bergman; it is, above all, peculiarly American. Adapting a popular novel by Avery Corman, Benton tells an unpretentious story that might well have served such vintage Hollywood tearjerkers as George Stevens' Penny Serenade and King Vidor's Stella Dallas...
...Yet she is more than just another gorgeous face. The typical Hollywood starlet may think that August Strindberg is a hot new agent, but Streep played Miss Julie at Vassar. Beginning her professional stage career in New York only four years ago, she conquered prized roles in Shakespeare (Measure for Measure, Henry V, The Taming of the Shrew), Chekhov (The Cherry Orchard) and Brecht-Weill (Happy End), as well as in works by Arthur Miller and Tennessee Williams. This repertory training came to Meryl because she was ready for it; her education went on in public, but critics and audiences...
Moviegoers have yet to see the full range of Streep's art. She is an expert mimic (she copied her dead-on Southern accent in Joe Tynan from Dinah Shore) and can turn a hilarious pratfall. Her film roles have mainly been those of vulnerable modern women. She has not yet played a period character from a position of strength, but plans to start work on the screen version of John Fowles' The French Lieutenant's Woman early next spring...
