(AP) — After 50 years of reporting Holly- wood's foibles to the radio public, Jimmy Fidler has hung up his microphone. The reason is not entirely age. At 85 Fidler's still vig- orous enough to chastise misbehaving stars. What bo- thers him is the loss of glamor. “I enjoyed reporting the movie world when stars were stars like Greta Garbo, Jean Harlow, Clark Gable, Hum- phrey Bogart,” he says. “Now they dip into the extra ranks and pick three girls named (Farrah) Fawcett, (Kate) Jackson and (Jaclyn) Smith, put them in a series named Charlie's Angels and call them stars. “They aren't stars. There's no aura of stardom when you see the same person every week. It was different when you saw Joan Crawford or Bette Davis two or three times a year. “The glamor is gone; it’s a whole new scene. I don’t hate it, but I don't like it. So I quit.” Until a month ago, Fidler regularly left his condomin- ium in this suburban com- munity and made the half- hour drive to North Holly- wood, where he recorded Jimmy Fidler in Hollywood.

Interviewed in the Feb- ruary.issue of Glamour mag- azine, Cher said the flam- boyant costumes and wigs she sported on television and in nightclub performances made people think she had a “beaded-gown mentality” — and slowed her acting career. “People regarded me as a clothes hanger more than an entertainer,” she said, com- plaining “it took me such a long time to get into acting because no one was willing to let me have a part.” But Cher dispels her old image in Silkwood, in which she wears a sweatshirt, over- sized jeans and no makeup.

Response to Fidler’s let- ters and intimate notes were sometimes violent. A tipsy Errol Flynn once pounded Fidler’s head at the Mocambo night club. “When I broke the story that Gary Grant and Barbara Hutton were divorcing, Cary called me and said, ‘It’s a lie — You'd better get out of town’,” Fidler recalled. Two days later, they announced the forthcoming divorce. “At one point in my career, Thad to hire a bodyguard, an old prizefighter who went with me everywhere.” James Fidler was a Mem- phis boy who went west to seek his fortune.

And so the puppets and the piano and all of those things became playmates for me when there weren't any friends around.” Rogers attended Florida's Rollins College, where he earned a degree in music composition and met his wife, Joanne, a concert pianist.
