He contrasts actors with painters scientists and philosophers, cites John Wilkes Booth as the lone remembered American actor, and argues fame fades with time. He notes Sen. George Murphy and Gov. Ronald Reagan as rare exceptions, then muses on actors’ fragile legacies.

Romney Quit Because Road Was Getting Too Rocky
A fragmentary Washington Roundup column quotes Marty Allen impersonating Gov. Romney in a skit noting he left the race because the road was getting too rocky. The item also references LBJ, Ford Theater, and a string of entertainment blurbs about Connie Stevens Eddie Fisher Edie Adams Bernstein and other celebrities with brief notes on dates and events. The tone is gossipy and episodic with numerous names and fleeting anecdotes.
