MOVIES St. John ("Lance tells everybody he taught me to cook. Say, until I took him in hand, he could have used his bread as a cornerstone for our house!") Recently, when Lance sold one of his countless antique autos to a Hollywood columnist, Jill indignantly tele phoned him to complain about losing that "lovely old car." They've dated together, and she has visited the old homestead but no reconciliation has resulted. Yet when somebody mentions that the Revcntlows are "legally sep arated," Jill corrects them acidly: "We are not legally separated. We simply are not living together." The couple's friends believe a factor in their breakup was Lance's return to auto-race driving. Earlier in their marriage, he had given up competitive driving to design and build racers for international events, but his much lauded Scarab failed most tests, and it seems frustration pushed Lance back behind the wheel. Jill's reaction to his dangerous pursuit can be glimpsed in the way she ex plains her "extrasensory perception." "I know I have ESP," she says. "I used to be able to tell Lance before a race how he would finish. He scoffed at me at first, but later he came to believe me. I could just sense what would happen." Then there is a tremor as she adds quietly: "There are times when you don't want to know what will happen." Like Lance, Jill is a person of extraordinary intelli gence (a rare 162 IQ as a student at UCLA) and curi osity. She is a practicing expert in such diverse fields as marine life and jewelry. "I went to a gemmology school," she says, "because I wanted to know about jewelry. Now my friends call me 'loupe eye' you know, after the glass a jeweler wears in his eye. When one of our girl friends gets a new gem, I'm nominated to scrutinize it I'll come back and whisper: 'A lovely sapphire, all right Probably a Borneo stone. But the best come from Ceylon, you know.' " JILL HAS A carborundum wheel at home and grinds her own semiprecious stones. In a family weekly inter view, she wore a turtle-shaped breast pin glittering with diamond chips, a square-cut blue sapphire ring, and a double strand of matched pearls. "Just something for the afternoon," she explained. Jill's ire rises at the suggestion that her rich hus band bought her art and gems. She points out that her father is a well-to-do retired restaurant owner; that she herself has been gainfully employed since she was six years old; and that at 21 she came into a packet of government bonds which she "promptly blew for things I like." Nowadays most of her collections are in vaults, while Jill lives in a furnished Los Angeles apartment. No matter how she resolves her rift with Lance Revent low, Jill will harbor no bitterness toward matrimony. "I certainly wouldn't want the life of a bachelor girl," she says. "I like belonging to one man, and I like one man to belong to me." She states this with the same self-assurance she uses in discussing her career and very likely will meet per sonal challenges with a resoluteness and intelligence that has skyrocketed her as a film comedienne.
