Lewis, 26, is a singer of sorts, Louganis, 27, a dancer debuting in Indianapolis in October. Forgetting their parts in the epic beach movie Dirty Laundry, both aspire to be actors. "When the bus pulled up to the village the other day," Louganis said, "and I heard someone mention, 'Five to a room, ten to a bathroom,' I thought: 'Why am I still doing this?' " But the answer came to him even before he became the first three-time Pan Am champion of the three-meter springboard. "I still have goals, tremendous goals." At the diving nationals in April, Louganis...
...well understands. His stagings are often brilliantly choreographed, bringing out the full chaotic energy of the work. The nightclub entertainment scene metamorphoses into a very credible three-ring circus complete with a strong man in a leopard skin (Ken), scantily-clad female (Lisa Lindley), fat lady (Eileen), can-can dancer (Ted), and Elvis impersonator (Donal Logue)--a deliriously wild spectacle that is one of this show's unforgettable moments. In this scene, Raphael also reminds us of Orton's message that we are all guests in this camp by having the two couples start off sitting in the audience. Wisely...
...victims. Many had few family ties; many were last seen alive hustling on the Sea-Tac strip, a three-mile stretch near the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.

In the nine films he made with Ginger Rogers between 1933 and 1939, most of their great numbers were not performed on a stage. Shot full figure in long takes, the pair tapped across park bandstands in the rain (Isn't This a Lovely Day?) and on roller skates (Let's Call the Whole Thing Off), and used an entire country club in The Yam number, which for compressed intricacy may have been their most heart- stopping routine. But more...
...began at the peep show. One of the first movies -- an 1890s record of the belly dancer Fatima's dance -- stoked demands for its suppression. As the American cinema grew from fairground fad to worldwide obsession, it seasoned its content for the broadest tastes: no nudity, no naughty words, no violence. And, until the case of The Miracle in 1952, no constitutional cloak. In that year, ruling on Roberto Rossellini's parable of a peasant woman (Anna Magnani) impregnated by a bearded stranger (Federico Fellini) whom she believes to be St. Joseph, the Supreme Court ruled that films were...
