never been brighter. Now a major

«mers. Surprisingly, for all his movies

GEMINI - May 22/June 21

Looks like a fairly quiet weekend,
just the thing to give you the energy

{late great radio and TV
coming out, “Sunday Nights at Seven:
The Jack Benny Story.” It was

written, at least in part, by Jack's
daughter, Joan (who's about to
become a grandmother). But I can
assure you Jack won't get the kind of
treatment meted out to Joan Craw-
ford by her disgruntled adopted
daughter. One reason: The book is
half written by Jack, using excerpts
from his unfinished and unpublished
1968 autobiography. Another reason:
Joan got along splendidly with her
famous dad. Typically, she told me,
“he has the last word” in the new
biography.

REVERSAL OF BILLING: A while
back, when Jeremy Irons and Glenn
Close co-starred in “The Real Thing”
on Broadway, he captured first billing
by virtue of his bravura performance
and then matinee-idol status. Ironi-
cally, now that the team is reunited in
the hit movie “Reversal of Fortune,”
about the notorious Claus Von Bulow
trial, it’s Close who’s copped top
billing (though her role is smaller).
This time around Irons, who shines in
the decidedly meatier role of Von
Bulow, takes second billing.

picture-perfect figure? Does she
starve herself? — E.H.

A: I've observed some of Madonna's
eating habits. She's picky. But why
not, if you have a multi-million dollar
career riding partly on the way you
look. Madonna eats mostly veget-
ables. No meat. She is also a big
consumer of mineral water. She does
drink alcohol in public on occasion. I
caught her at a New York charity
sipping a gin, martini with an olive.
‘The other part of her regimen is
exercise, including weight lifting.
Friends say she's also a superb
swimmer.

* Q: We're longtime fans of actress
: Mariette Hartley, but we don’t know
+much about her private life. Can you
help us out? — AR.

A: Hartley, now 50, lives in Los
Angeles and plays that efficient news
:producer on CBS-TV's new series,
“WIOU.” Mariette, who is a very funny
person off-camera, has been married
‘to Patrick Boyriven for the past 16
“years. The couple has two children.
‘Hartley's real first name is Mary
«Loretta. She tells me she dislikes the
yadvice her mother gave her — “Keep
secrets” — and can’t stand people
«who are self-obsessed. Her biggest
{quibble about herself? “If I could
«change two things,” she told me, “it
swould be my chest.”

of thing? — Y-T.

A: Lancaster, who was married in
1946 to Norma Anderson, is appa-
rently a marital optimist. This union
produced four children but broke up
in 1969. The 77-year-old actor recen-
tly underwent open heart surgery, but
has recovered and is otherwise
healthy. On September 10, Burt
married ar*ress Susan Scherer. She
won't tel me her age, but she is
definitely much younger than her
famous new husband.

Q: Is it true that Mia Farrow gets to
wear some expensive designer
clothes in Woody Allen’s new movie,
“Alice"? This would certainly be a
welcome change from her frumpily
dressed roles, — V.P.

A: So I hear. However, Woody's
mom apparently isn't completely
satisfied with the transformation. She
told an acquaintance, “Woody let Mia
wear some pretty clothes in ‘Alice,’
but by the time the picture ends, he
has her back in rags sli over again!”
