Here's a new trick DAVID COPPERFIELD's learning: if you can't make something disappear, sue the people who created it. Paris Match says Copperfield's long engagement to CLAUDIA SCHIFFER is an illusion--something millions of males would dearly love to believe.

The films also showcase future stars, like Rogers, perky and alluring from the start, and Cary Grant, who made his movie debut in Chang's Singapore Sue. Some stars Hollywood couldn't figure out. Merman, setting a torch to After You're Gone in Be Like Me, is tough, sexy, charismatic--a singing Stanwyck. But film musical heroines were soft creatures, and Merman was sent back to Broadway...
