...press conference in the artist's home town of Figueras, Spain, that ended his mysterious six months of seclusion. To bring poetry to life, Dali carried an elaborate, eagle-headed sword and distributed tuberoses to reporters. His costume was no less vivid: a leopardskin coat and red barrenita cap.

Judy Holliday, the incomparable impersonator of Hollywood dumb blonds, hires a researcher to check out her own political past. Zero Mostel shakes a grisly cap-and-bell to boast: "I am a man of a thousand faces, all of them blacklisted...
