...wrote Hollywood Gossipist Hedda Hopper five years ago about the former Julia Jean Mildred Frances Turner, the former Mrs. Artie Shaw, the former MES. Stephen Crane (twice), the former Mrs. Bob Topping, the former Mrs. Lex ("Tarzan") Barker-better known to millions as Cinemactress Lana Turner. Lana Turner had a daughter, Cheryl, to whom she gave gifts, money, luxurious living, exclusive schooling-everything, in fact, except a normal upbringing...
Troubling the Audience. If Spartacus should prove the beginning of a revolution in Russian ballet, the Bolshoi Company clearly has the talent and technique to extend it. Most of the first-rate young dancers in last week's production (including Julia May Scott, daughter of an American Negro and a Russian mother) were unknown to the West. They were drawn from the corps de ballet on the theory that they would be less hidebound by classical technique than the older dancers (an exception: famed Soloist Maya Plisetskaya, dancing the courtesan Aegina).

...Seconds from Now could seem as world-wearily neurasthenic as Françoise Sagan's round-robin tournaments of amour. Dominique loves Nondas who has eyes only for Erne.

Danae loves Simos who is too poor to offer marriage but can pay for an abortion. Sentimental Vivi is perhaps poorest of all-in love with the 2,000 records of the Light Music Department...

As it is, it tells a Cinderella story of little Julia Ashley, who is encountered competing with Irish pigs for some swill left behind by the Roundhead soldiery who laid Ireland waste. She grows up to be adopted by a dashing cavalier, farmed out to a Dutch orphanage and, in the natural course of events as they happen in female historical novels, mistress of a great plantation in the Dutch East Indies...
...eight years into writing The Velvet Horn, and it shows in the detailed research, the loving re-creation of events and places, the carefully archaic turn of phrase. Long after most readers have forgotten his flamboyant Cropleighs, they will remember such fine set pieces as the marriage of Julia and the wake of Joe Cree with its barbecue, and the excellent sketches of the mountain people, whose folk talk has the pith and point too often lacking in the rest of the novel...
