...Richard Bey show. The producers had told her she would be reunited with someone from her past. Suspecting it might be an older brother whom she had never met, Miller agreed. But when she was brought onstage, Miller found herself confronting someone else: her younger brother's fiance, Billi Burkett, with whom she had been feuding. Burkett--egged on, she says, by producers, who kept telling her, "You need to get angry"--began shouting at Miller. Among other things, she accused Miller of neglecting Burkett's daughter, who attended a day-care center Miller used to run. (Producers have since...
...legendary fin-de-siecle set piece on Paris' Rue Royale, now owned by Pierre Cardin. In the New York outpost, the semi-nouvelle French cuisine has been more memorable for its price ($65 for prix-fixe dinner) than for its excellence. The cream of mussel soup known as billi-bi, a Maxim's invention, is decently turned out, but stale-tasting duck pate and the overly complicated, overcooked saddle of lamb with basil cream could not even be considered near misses.

"Navy is a sensational swimming team, but this is just the meet we want," Billi Brooks said yesterday. Whether he wants it or not, just to stay in contention Brooks will have to throw all his talent into a meet for the first time this season...
...Ewell, late of "Brother Rat," is easily the best man on the stage. The chorus is gorgeous to look at, and the girls do more than well by Al White, Jr.'s rather unimaginative routines. Harry Horner's sets are excellent, but they meet strong antagonists in Billi Livingston's atrocious costumes...
