...from art books and sensational photos from newspapers as his models. He painted a series of gnarled, garishly colored portraits of his predecessor in agony, Vincent Van Gogh, after reproductions of the Dutch artist's long-lost The Artist on the Road to Tarascon. Most famous of his serial portraits are those of screaming pontiffs modeled after a papal commission by Velásquez (see opposite page). Though he has been through Rome, where Pope Innocent X's portrait hangs in the Palazzo Doria-Pamphili, Bacon has never gone to see it. The gum-baring shriek that gapes...

She suspects darkly that newsmen want to write her off as a pushy Clairol blonde who forges forward by making more sex than sense, and because she was once an actress in TV's daytime serial The Edge of Night. But she insists that she was a student of politics long before she began to act, cites articles she contributed to liberal magazines like Progressive World when she was 22, and notes that she is a longstanding member of the Lexington Democratic Club in Manhattan...

She worked at odd, wearying places in the summer, such as a Schweppes factory ("Ugh"), where she grew to hate the taste of bitter lemon. Then BBC-TV picked her up for a science fiction serial called A Is for Andromeda. Movies have weaned her away from television. Her first two were unnoteworthy, but now, with Billy Liar, which last week seemed most likely to win the top award at the current Venice Film Festival, she is established as a film star...
...content to develop its talent for staging the eruption of Vesuvius in a studio closet, has rarely ventured far afield. Next season, viewers will see a brave pioneer bust out of the closet onto the Còte d'Azur and points north. The pioneer: a hammy comedy serial about an American nightclub act in Europe titled Harry's Girls (NBC), which is filming 13 of its 26 half-hour shows on the French Riviera...
