the dead baby jokes to a
minimum last year, so now we
beg of you —no more lightbulb
jokes. Please. We want original

for which we pay the enormous
sum of S20 each. Such largesse.

Anew screen character is about to be born.
Walter Hill, who had a big hit with 48
Mrs, will direct a film of Dick Tracy. And
though nothing’s yet firm, Warren Beatty is
said to be very interested in playing the title
role. Well, if you think about it, there is a re
semblance. It's a project that John Landis
(Animal House, Twilight Zone) had nurtured
tor years. But his legal woes, stemming from
the famous helicopter crash that killed actor
Vic Morrow, forced him to step aside.
e don't like to tell tales (well, we do, a
W little ...) but Sean Penn and Elizabeth
McGovern, two ultra successful young actors
who costar in a new movie, Racing With the
Moon, are, as they say, an item Holding
hands at an industry screening of Staying
Alive, they tried not to be noticed. Penn even
went up to the guy taking names at the door
and whispered, "Sean Penn.” It didn't do any
good. The guy answered back, “Uh, I know.”
Two of a kind is now the title for the
long-untitled fantasy love story just
filmed by Grease alumni John Travolta and
Olivia Newton-John. Among other things to
look forward to (or dread) — a lovey-dovey
scene where John (barechested) gets it on
with Olivia (clothed). Travolta next plays a
rock star for director Brian DePalma in Fire.
He may be the greatest popular singer in
American history. If you can forgive his
rancid politics and scuzzy associations, that is.
For those lucky few with apolitical ears, Frank
Sinatra will be pressed on virgin vinyl by
Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs in a specially
boxed and numbered sixteen album set. Price
will be around $350, delivery to stores about
mid-October. A similar set, encapsulating the
What Price Fame?
Ring-a-Ding-Ding
Beatles’ career, was put out last year and is
said to bring prices of $1,000 from nutty re
cord collectors.
For those who can't spring $350, the choice
move is Joe Piscopo’s parody waxing (see
story this issue) of Sinatra tackling contempo
rock tunes. Sample of Joe as Frank doing For
eigner: "You're as cold as ice/You’re willing
to SACK .. rifice our love/You don't take
advice/Someday you’ll pay the tab.”
Hiu. Street Blues’ Charles Haid, Barbara
Bosson, Bruce Weitz and co-producer
Steven Bochco (husband to Ms. Bosson) have
something in common besides their multi
Em mied show: they all attended Carnegie
Mellon University, and will be returning this
tall for Homecoming festivities October 14-16.
They'll even do the parade number . ..
meanwhile, their TV show has once again
earned more Emmy nominations than any
other on the tube. In fact, the Writing in a
Drama Series category is a sure-fire win: all
five nominees are for Hill Street Blues shows.
