Confessions of a FILM FOX
Our first and most pressing demand: c’mon, Victoria Principal and Andy Gibb— don’t keep each other hangin’ on, as poets Vanilla Fudge (by way of Holland/Dozier/Holland) would say. Get out of each other’s life, and make a new start! One week we read you’re on, the next week you’re off...sheesh!

As we reported before in this space, progress on the Bobby Darin film biography On Borrowed Time, based on the book of the same name, is proceeding apace. Now open auditions are being announced for the key role of Darin, and reportedly, singers as diverse as Paul “Having My Baby” Anka, Johnny Rivers, and Burton Cummings (not Italian enough. Burton), expressed interest in the lead, but the producers—friends of the Bronx-born singer, who died of heart failure in 1973—feel an unknown would be best. Sandra Dee watchers will get to cop a rare glimpse at the 50’s/60’s teen queen in late May, when she’ll be on hand for the unveiling of Bobby Darin’s star on a Hollywood sidewalk.
