- <p> Blind Love
- </p>
- <p> She's got lots of experience in soap operas (Dark Shadows, Search
- for Tomorrow), where working square-jawed, overacting leading
- men into a lather is nothing out of the ordinary. So maybe it
- wasn't surprising that Wyatt Earp co-star Joanna Going displayed
- such cool in her boudoir scenes with Kevin Costner. Even though
- her role as Josie, Earp's second wife, was Going's film debut,
- kissing one of the world's biggest movie stars didn't rattle
- her. "I got over a lot of inhibitions doing soaps," says the
- delicate-featured, Audrey Hepburn-esque actress. "Besides, I'm
- blind as a bat. When I take off my glasses, it's all a blur
- anyway." Raised in Rhode Island, Going lives in New York City
- and has a very level-headed view of her future. "I don't think
- one role is the magic key to the rest of my career," she says.
- "I still have to go on auditions; I still have to prepare. It's
- hard work."

- <p> Fading Away
- </p>
- <p> FAYE DUNAWAY was perfect to star in the L.A. production of the
- musical Sunset Boulevard, except for one thing: she couldn't
- sing the part. So concluded producer Andrew Lloyd Webber, who
- fired the actress just before she was to take over the lead
- from Glenn Close, whom Webber had chosen over Patti LuPone to
- star in the show on Broadway. Winning the role had been a big
- break for Dunaway, whose career is in a slump. She took voice
- lessons, but Webber wanted her to sing in a higher key.

- <p> Sharing Stones
- </p>
- <p> Hollywood starlets are accustomed to perks--personal trainers,
- front-row Knicks tickets, other women's husbands. Free diamonds,
- however, are not on the list. Apparently it hadn't occurred
- to SHARON STONE that the $500,000 Harry Winston Inc. diamond
- necklace she wore for the Oscars was a loaner, not a gift. So
- when the jeweler asked her to return the necklace, Stone complied
- but slapped the company with a $12 million lawsuit for breach
- of contract. Winston's president called her claim "mind boggling."

- <p> SEEN & HEARD
- </p>
- <p> Like the typical celebrity convict, TONYA HARDING has been busying
- herself reading movie scripts. Last week she signed on for her
- first role--in Breakaway, in which she'll play a waitress
- running from the Mob. Break a leg, Tonya.
- </p>
- <p> Some suggestive albums and a lot of hip shaking on MTV made
- him a teen idol--and worth about $100 million. But what he
- really wants is to be an artiste. So two years ago, GEORGE MICHAEL
- sued Sony in an effort to get out of a 15-year, eight-album
- record contract, claiming the label did not support his more
- serious work. A London judge ruled last week that the contract
- could not be breached.
- </p>
- <p> In America graffiti artists sell their work in galleries. In
- Singapore they get flogged. So MICHAEL FAY was understandably
- overjoyed to return home to Ohio. The 19-year-old served 83
- days in a Singapore prison and received four lashes with a cane
- as punishment for spray-painting cars.
