HOLLYWOOD - The plot thickens!
“The Man Who Drew God” (‘ ‘L’ uomo Che
Disegno Dio”), which was to star Vanessa
Redgrave, with a comeback cameo by Kevin
Spacey, has hit a snag. Seems Redgrave
had second thoughts. Her people released
a statement: “Vanessa Redgrave’s name
was included in recent stories relating to the
upcoming film ‘The Man Who Drew God,’
but while there have been discussions about
her joining the cast, she will not appear in the
film despite being directed by her husband
of 15 years, Franco Nero.”
Redgrave and Nero began their relationship
when she played Guenevere to his Lancelot
in “Camelot” (1967). In 1969 they had a
son, Carlo Gabriel Redgrave Sparanero, now
known as screenwriter and director Carlo
Nero.They drifted apart,andin 1971 she be-
gan a relationship with a former James Bond,
Trrnothy Dalton , her co-star in “Mary, Queen
Of Scots,” until 1986, while Nero had rela-
tionships with Catherine Deneuve, Goldie
Hawn and UrsulaAndress. Their relationship
resumed in
Year’s Eve that year. The burning question:
Is it Spacey’s involvement that caused the
snag, and can he change her mind?

In 1973 I met a beautiful model named
Cheryl Jean Stoppehnoor, at the house of
David Ladd (son of screen legend Alan
Ladd). She was sweet and they were very
2006 and they were wed on New ,
much in love. She began as a singer, known
as Cherie Moor and sang the voice of “Mel-
ody” in the animated CBS series “Josie &
The Pussycats” (1970-1971).Laterthat year
she married David Ladd and became Cheryl
Ladd, destined for stardom as Kris Monroe,
one of “Charlie’s Angels” (1977—81). Ten
films later, after “Camera Store” (2017), with
John Larroquette and John Rhys-Davies,
didn’t set the box office afire, she starred
in three Lifetime
TV holiday films:
“The Christmas
Contract” (2018),
“Grounded for
Christmas”(2019)
and “Christmas ,
Unwrapped” H
(2020).
Now, at 69, she’ll
star in the fourth
installment of the
“Cowgirls & An-
gels” franchise, “A
Cowgirl’s Song,”
shooting in Okla-
homa. “Angel”
Jaclyn Smith’s
last film was
“Random Acts , I
of Christmas” '
(2019),whileKate
Jackson hasn’t
worked since the 2004 film “Larceny.”
Maybe they should call Halhnark!

Taylor Swift has completed acting for di—
rector/screenwriter David 0 Russell (whose
“American Hustle” and “Silver Linings Play-
boo ” won Oscars) in a shrouded—in—mystery
“untitl ” film starring Christian Bale, Mar-
got Robbie, Rami Malek and Zoe Zaldana,
for Disney’s 20th Century Studios, which is
not giving a release date either.

Postscript: Robert Redford has chosen to
close down his Faceka page. It was a joy
to have had it as long as we did. No longer
will he have to deal with the “haters” and
think, “Who were those guys!”
