...block the release of his latest martial-arts movie, Lone Wolf, with a well-aimed legal kick to its producers' fiscal throat. Carradine agreed to play the heavy in the film on condition that 1) he would not kill the woman, in this case sultry, almond-eyed Barbara Carrera; 2) he would not die; and 3) he would not get licked in hand-to-hand combat with the film's "good guy," the bearded, karate-flick regular, Chuck Norris, 40. But after the final editing he was chopped down by Norris. So he sued to protect his reputation...
...diplomatic theater of the absurd, nothing could quite compare with the continuing siege in Colombia. The stage was the broad Avenida de Carrera in central Bogotá, cordoned off around the three-story embassy of the Dominican Republic; the handmade red-white-and-blue flag flying outside the building was that of a Colombian revolutionary group called M-19, for April 19 Movement. More than a dozen of their masked and armed guerrillas, including at least four women, remained in full control of the compound they seized almost two weeks ago in a gunfight during an Independence Day reception given...
That lady nuzzling a serval is Actress Barbara Carrera, on location in the Virgin Islands for the filming of H.G. Wells' 1896 science-fiction chiller, The Island of Dr. Moreau.

The voyage proved that in certain parts of the continent Kissinger is still a diplomatic superstar, the ultimate magical mystery tourist. In Santiago, more than 3,000 cheering Chileans gathered outside the Hotel Carrera simply to catch a glimpse of the Secretary before he emerged to drive off to the OAS meeting. In Santa Cruz, a huge crowd mobbed his car when he drove to place a floral wreath at the monument of Bolivia's national hero, Ignacio Warnes. Bolivian President Hugo Banzer...
...acting career began with a stint as TV's Chiquita Banana lady. The next time Barbara Carrera is seen peeling anything, however, it will be the clothes off her back in a new sci-fi epic titled Embryo. "I had a lot of qualms about it," she says of her nude scene with Co-Star Rock Hudson, a physician-researcher who cultivates Barbara from birth, so to speak, in his basement laboratory. In her role, the Nicaraguan-born actress grows quickly into the good doctor's lovemate, then a dope addict and finally a 120-year...
