While the film's three
friends share the fantasy of
"For a Few Dollars More,"
Mr. Crystal is clear about
what colors and gives shape
to his dreams.
"My greatest fantasy
vacation would be to spend
three weeks with a really
great painter and learn how
to paint," he said. "I admire
Picasso so much. I'd like to
play him one day."
However, Billy Crystal,
comedian-cum-movie-mogul,
doesn't paint himself into
corners. He has made a
name for himself in movies,
"looked marvelous" on tele-
vision ("Saturday Night
Live," host of the Grammy
Awards and Oscar
ceremonies) and impressed
with his uncanny impres-
sions of legendary stars in
nightclub acts greeted with
acclaim around the country.
Mr. Crystal's Jewishness
has always been part and
parcel of past and present
accomplishments, including
his taking an HBO special
and turning it into a vehicle
for a return to his Russian
Jewish roots. "Midnight
Train to Moscow" won an
Emmy Award and two ACE
Awards.
The concept of tzedakah
has been important to Mr.
Crystal. He obviously rel-
ishes his role as co-host of
cable TV's "Comic Relief,"
which has raised $16 million
for the homeless over the
years.
Perhaps Mr. Crystal feels
most at home talking
baseball. A diehard fan more
accustomed to sporting a
Yankees cap than the
cowboy hat he wears in City
Slickers, Mr. Crystal sounds
as if he would drop every-
thing for a shot at shortstop.
"Tonight I'm meeting
Mickey Mantle at a screen-
ing of the film," he said in
awe, his eyes reflecting a
field of dreams that has Mr.
Crystal punching out hits
not punchlines.
Indeed, in City Slickers,
Mr. Crystal's character talks
about the best day in his life,
when he saw Mickey Mantle
slam one out. Reel and real
life collide.
"My best day?" said Mr.
Crystal as he smiled. "My
fondest memory is my first
baseball game — Mantle hit
one out, just like in the
film... It was May 30, 1956."
There's another date Mr.
Crystal will probably re-
member — the day he came
up with the idea for City

Slickers.
A year-and-a-half ago, the
comedian "was watching a
TV show about fantasy vaca-
tions, and suddenly I had an
