...horse trials all over the country, buys many of her clothes off the peg in London's King's Road boutiques and wears severe Stetson-style hats instead of the flowery horrors that crown so many royal heads. Last year she sent Britons into paroxysms of one sort or another when she jumped onstage for the finale of the rock musical Hair and spent ten wild minutes dancing with cast members, many of whom were scantily clad...
Superdeb. "Princess Anne lives the same sort of life as many upper-class English girls," says a Buckingham Palace spokesman -except that she is richer than most (an allowance of ?6,000 or $14,400 a year), her friends have to call her "Ma'am," and a private detective accompanies her everywhere.

They watched Altman make some improvements, like building Hot Lips' part up from a nine-line bit, but the master stroke of adding the loudspeaker as a character came only in Altman...
...that level, The Dirtiest Show in Town is surprisingly amusing. The nudes are graceful, handsome and refreshingly unselfconscious. Acting skill is secondary in group enterprises of this sort, but Jeffrey Herman is kinkily personable and quite funny as a gay Jew, and Madeleine le Roux plays a tall blonde lesbian with the icy authority of a lady storm trooper. Playwright Tom Eyen is perhaps the best guide to the underlying seriousness that animates his play even at its silliest and most scandalous: "We're getting the new sexual freedom suddenly, and we don't know how to cope...
