The scene was a crowd stopper: a man in Pope's raiment was kissing a pretty young girl. But it was only Actor Anthony Quinn, 51, dressed as the fictional Pope Kiril I in the movie version of The Shoes of the Fisherman, bestowing a paternal peck on Daughter Catalina, 25, when she visited the set in Rome. That little respite notwithstanding, Quinn is living his role with fierce dedication—so much so that shooting had to be stopped two weeks because of a huge swelling of Quinn's right eye that he is convinced was psychogenic. "It used to be called 'Monk's disease,' coming from the effort to measure up to a great task against the weakness of the flesh," Quinn said. "Playing a Pope is the epitome of everything an actor can do. I think of myself as a professional, but sometimes professionalism doesn't seem enough."
Britain's canine quarantine regulations were no problem at all for Actress Gayle Hunnicutt, 24, mistress to two Yorkshire terriers named Cathy and Heathcliffe. Gayle simply packed the tiny, heavily tranquilized beasts in a carryall and lugged them past customs at London Airport. Some such illegal dodge was necessary to get around England's strict six-month waiting period for animal immigrants, which recently forced Richard and Liz Burton to charter a yacht to house their animals during a visit. The less expensive tote bag was Gayle's own idea. So was her final coup—getting a British European Airways steward to carry the bag for her as she left London for Majorca.
"The creator has become an anticreator and his greatest achievement is to discover how he can leave out some thing that has never been left out before," noted disenchanted Cultural Guardian Joseph Wood Krutch, 74, in the American Scholar. Take Twiggy, for example—"a fashion sensation because all the secondary sexual characteristics of the female were totally lacking." And the Twig is only part of the pattern, Krutch said. "The miniskirt is halfway to becoming a non-skirt. When it has reached its entelechy and is then designed to accompany a topless blouse, the anti-costume will be complete and just right for the non-woman reading anti-novels, looking at nonrepresentational pictures, and listening to atonal music."
