efore the Joker, before Bruce Wayne, before
Guber-Peters, before Time Warner and
even before the merchandising, there was
first the Killer Smile. Wickedly arched eye
brows. Malevolent rolling eyeballs. Flashing teeth. Add
to that a clown’s makeup and a demonic laugh, and
you have the most compelling proof ever of George
Orwell’s dictum that, at 50, everyone has the face he
deserves. In eafman the 52-year-old Jack Nicholson
inhabited the Joker’s role with such fevered invention
that he stole the film and helped turn it into a
$250 million monster that’s on its way to becoming
Hollywood’s all-time box office champ. When the
Joker drops $20 million on greedy Gothamites, he
shrugs, “Don’t worry about me. I’ve got enough.” So
does Jack: Profit-sharing and merchandising provi
sions in his contract may bring him $20 mill or more
after the last Batman lunch box is sold in Kathmandu.
By the time the $24.98 Bafman video was rushed
out last fall, though, Nicholson was making news for a
different kind of performance. In November the actor
learned he had more than just a piece of the action at
Helena’s, the L. A. hot spot he partly owns. It was re
ported that Rebecca Broussard, 26, an ex-waitress
there, was due to bear a child by Jack next spring. A
month later, starlet Karen Mayo-Chandler, 28, used a
P/ay6oy pictorial to claim that she and Nicholson had
a torrid, months-long, pre-Fafmanaffair. Jack in the
sack, she said, was “a nonstop sex machine.” Anjel-
ica Huston, Jack’s longtime love, was said to be stung
by the news, and it wasn’t certain if their 15-year ro
mance could weather the alleged escapades.
Nicholson ignored the brouhaha and turned his tal
ents to finishing The Two Jakes, the 15-years-in-the-
gestating sequel to Chinatown. He is both star and di
rector of the film, which will be released next year.
After three decades and 40-plus movies, Nicholson
has become that rare public figure whose art permits
him to float, beloved and bankable, almost beyond
criticism or scandal. As Meryl Streep, his co-star in
Heartburn and Ironweed, has said; “He’s a serious ar
tist—I think he’s a master. He’s got a voracious appe
tite for the work. He’s never satisfied but he’s al
ways churning. It’s wild. There’s nobody out there

you want to kick off your bedcovers and dance?
Mixing a wide-eyed awe of celebrities with a spicy
street sensibility, Arsenio, 33, has turned his syndicat
ed talk show into a cross-cultural encounter session.
Where else can you find rapper Tone-Ldc sharing a
couch with Fergie’s father? Or Bo Derek and Ursula
Andress chatting amiably about a man they’ve both
known in bed? Sure he strokes his guests with powder-
puff questions, but isn’t that the point? Everybody’s
relaxed. Add a backbeat and soon even the squarest
viewers feel they’re part of a TV version of Studio 54.
While getting a precocious start on his career by in
terviewing other kids in his basement when he was a
child, Arsenio was warned that it couldn’t be done.
Cleveland ghetto kids do not become talk show hosts.
He clung to his ambition, majoring in speech commu

generation a reason to stay home at night?

rocket ride may end. But maybe not tomorrow, and
maybe not soon. “If Johnny can have a party for 27
years,” he says, “why can’t I?’

is larger and wider than most people who
make it big on the small screen. As Dan
Conner, Roseanne Barr’s Emmy-nominat
ed, Joe Six-pack husband on Roseanne, he brings wit
and humanity to a character who easily could have
wound up in the blue-choler Archie bunker.
If you prefer the big screen, this Goodman is not
hard to find. This year he was a great blithe whale in
Sea of Love and a fire fighter in Steven Spielberg’s Al
ways. Goodman also co-stars with Bette Midler in
Stella, a remake of 1937’s Stella Dallas, due in Febru
ary. And this 37-year-old bear of an actor has signed,
again with Spielberg, to play a role that seems preor
dained—cartoon hero Fred Flintstone.
Goodman’s personal life has been as fulfilling as
his professional one this year. In October he married
21-year-old Annabeth Hartzog, a student he met
while shooting Everybody’s All-American in New Or¬
leans. Last summer he quit smoking. Next, he says,
he wants to work off some of those 250-plus lbs. A
native of St. Louis, Goodman still goes back to the old
neighborhood to visit his mom and hang out with high
school friends. For a big-time TV and movie star, this
guy sounds awfully, well, real “Ten years ago,’’ says
Goodman, “I was doing regional theater in Baltimore,

e is the virtual Rain Man of corporate fi
nance, a fiercely concentrated boy genius
adrenalized by playingthree-dimensional
chess with corporations as pieces. With
one revolutionary tactic—aggressively helping com
panies raise capital with high-yield “junk” bonds—
Michael Milken, 43, made $3 trillion available to
high-risk ventures, godfathering many new busi
nesses and touching off a frenzy of controversial
corporate takeovers. From 1984 to 1987, his own
cut of the action was $1.1 billion. In 1987 he set the
all-time record for Most Money Earned in a Single
Year by a Mortal—he was paid $550 million by his
employer, Drexel Burnham Lambert. That works out
to $62,785 an hour, year-round.
From that height, then, there was little to wait for but
his fall. It came this year in the form of a 98-count feder
al indictment on charges of racketeeringand securities
fraud. Despite the fact that his most notorious client,
Ivan Boesky, and his former employer, Drexel, have
pleaded guilty to similar felony counts, Milken says
he’s innocent. What is certain is that his fall brought to
an end a decade of deal making on Wall Street.
Friends of Milken say that the size of his income in
spired the puritan envy of federal prosecutors. And
there's no question that some top capitalists hated
him, fearing his boardinghouse reach. (Donald
Trump, on learning that Milken earned $550 million
in one year, said, “You can be happy on a lot less
money.”) Intriguingly, Milken did everything with
money except spend it. No breathtaking shopping.
No lust for fame. At Drexel he was known for his
worn-out shoes and was so keen on privacy he kept
his photo out of the firm’s annual report. Raised in
Encino, Calif., he returned thereafter attending the
Wharton School in Philadelphia and working a few
years in New York City to lead a quiet suburban life
with his onetime high school sweetheart, Lori, 42,
and their three children. Only since his indictment
has Milken taken any pains with his public image, al
lowing a few reporters a glimpse of his unostenta
tious home and stepping up his charitable donations,
which have now topped $350 million. Personal
wealth, he insists, has little to do with his machina
tions. “I think of myself as a doctor,” he has said. “So
many companies and people need help.” u

ences want most from him is just Billy
Crystal. This is some revelation for the
consummate impersonator, but then it
has been some year. In When Harry Met
Salty... (a film beloved by audiences but
not all critics, see page 14), Crystal
seemed an unlikely choice as love lead
being short, skinny and longer on lip
than on looks. But from these dubious
assets he forged an attitude—at once
snappy, unselfconsciously sexy and re
laxed (even when discovering orgasms
can be faked)—that set a new standard
for male romantics in 1989.
As a result Crystal now finds his name
on rosters of America’s sexiest men. An¬
other honoree might frame the list, but
just mention it to Crystal—happily mar¬
ried to his wife, .Janice, for nearly 20 of
his 41 years—and he squirms with em

Abdul might have remained simply the owner
of Hollywood’s happiest feet if she hadn’t decid

an LP, Forever Your Girl, and strut her own stuff

To celebrate, she recently bought a house and a

t takes a politician to turn
I
an artist into a martyr. So
the fact that photographer
Robert Mapplethorpe was
made the center of the year’s
most incendiary artistic battle
was due less to the power of his
art than to the prominence of
his foe: Sen. Jesse Helms. It
was Helms who denounced
Mapplethorpe for pornography
and set off a controversy that
threatetied to bushwhack fed¬
eral funding of the arts. The
iconoclastic Mapplethorpe
might have enjoyed the uproar
over artistic freedom if not for
the fact that he was dead ■a ■
victim of AIDS in March at the
age of 42.
At issue was a national tour of
Mapplethorpe’s astonishingly
vivid photographs, which in¬
clude dramatic portraits (like
Ken Moody and Robert Sher¬
man, 1984, right) and graphi
cally homoerotic scenes. Mapplethorpe’s illness and
artistic power had already given him macabre, heroic
stature in the gay community. But even though his ex
hibit drew crowds in Philadelphia and Chicago, public
outrage, stridently voiced by the senior Senator from
North Carolina, was growing over federal support of
such art. Fearful about future funding, the director of
Washington, D.C.’s Corcoran Gallery of Art abruptly
canceled an appearance of the show—and angry art
ists withdrew two exhibits booked for the gallery.
Helms fired back with an amendment, revised and
passed by Congress, banning subsidies for‘‘obscene’
works, including those showing homoeroticism and
other “sex acts.”
Part of Mapplethorpe’s legacy was his last self-por
trait (left), which seemed to emphasize that after he
was gone, homosexuality, AIDS and his art would re
main. That was a likelihood Jesse Helms could not
legislate away. The show is now in Hartford. □

Last June the actress and her husband, actor Phil

on Saldana nearly took her life. Shockingly, prison of

though he had continued to threaten to kill Saldana.
Two weeks after the People story, the actress re¬

California’s legislature passed a new law that may

Santa's new sleigh is the exciting wide-track 4x4 sport utility vehicle, named Rocky, by Daihatsu—one of the most
respected automobile manufacturers in Japan for over 80 years. The Rocky comes standard with a 1.6-litre,
16-valve engine, flip up/lift out sunroof, lift up/fold forward rear seat, full carpeting and is available with either a
retractable soft top or a removable hard top, and much more. The Rocky SE Soft Top has a manufacturer's suggested

causes cystic fibrosis among the thou

by others. Indeed, during their 4y2-year
search for the elusive gene, Collins ad

T One of the great traumas
of Amy Tan’s life was when
she learned her Chinese-
born mother had left three
daughters behind, fleeing
her homeland in 1949. Amy
fictionalized the loss and
worked it into one of the sto
ries in The Joy Luck Club,
her first published book and
one of the year’s unexpected
best-sellers. Tan, 37, says
she wrote the stories for her
mother, as an attempt to ex
plain to her what it means to
be Chinese-American.

come. They take their turn at bat—and they
strike out in a major-league way, leaving the
field littered with the peanut shells and soda
cans of their once lofty careers and reputations.
It was, again, a banner year for mis-hits, run-ins
and errors. Here’s our 1989 All-Star team:
Zsa Zsa Gabor struck out swinging.
Steve Garvey kept swinging—with too many
misses.
Former HUD Secretary ‘‘Silent Sam” Pierce
went quietly, humming the Fifth Amendment all
the way to the lockers.
Sean Young raised her battling average and
lowered her career chances in a well-publicized
rhubarb with James Woods.
Morton Downey Jr. got a bad haircut, worse
ratings and—finally—the hook, relieving a nation
of Mort-ified TV viewers.
Jim Bakkerand Leona Helmsiey complained
loudly about the umpiring as they were thumbed
out.
