...Mary and John? The ad announcing the new production says it in ideographs: Rosemary's baby carriage perched atop Mrs. Robinson's knee. Mia Farrow, 23, and Dustin Hoffman, 31. The wandering waif and the victim of the middle class. Mrs. Sinatra and Mr. Acne. Novelist Flannery O'Connor put it another way: "Everything that rises must converge." The casting together of the two fastest-rising performers in the business was inevitable?it always is. But it once took half a career to manage the box-office mergers of Jimmy Stewart and June Allyson or Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn...
...producers of Peyton Place saw more in Mia than she saw in herself. For two years as Allison MacKenzie, Mia made the soap opera one long disaster aria and attracted the attention of millions of viewers?including Frank Sinatra. It was 1964?a very good year for long-haired swingers and toupeed singers. The way the public pop-psyched it out, at 19, she was looking for a father; at 48, he was looking for his youth.

He drew on whatever music was at hand: the hymns he sang in the choir at the Church of Christ, homely folk tunes, country pickin' that he heard at the county fair, and records on the radio-especially Hank Williams and Frank Sinatra. By the age of 14, he was proficient enough to say goodbye to school and begin touring the Southwest, first with an uncle's band, later with his own outfit. Many of the dates were at what he calls "dancin' and fightin' clubs," and he prudently trained...
...mean, they don't have something to say, like a message. Its not meaningful in an immediate sense the way something like "For What Its Worth" is. I'm moved by the lyrics the same way the lyrics to early Frank Sinatra, or a song like "Somethin Stupid" are moving. There is a specific situation, a load of information concerning the lives and motivations of the individuals who are being discussed--usually in the first person--in the songs. In Sinatra, the situations are very realistic--a man writing a letter to his wife who has left him, or something...
