DISCUSS YOUR FUTURES OVER LUNCH! HOLLYWOOD LEGEND TONY CURTIS isn't afraid of letting a little thing like modesty get in the way of a television tribute. The 76-year-old, being honored by England's BBC Hollywood Greats pro- gram, said, "When the BBC wanted to celebrate my life, I wasn't surprised. I intrigue me. There's no ego in this, but I've had such an interesting life." Curtis, scheduled to appear in a musical version of Some Like It Hot at Detroit's Fisher Theatre next year, can no longer be bothered with Tinseltown. With a hint of bitterness, he says, "Hollywood — who needs it? I paid my dues in that town. I dedicated myself for 20 years, when I worked and lived there and put money back into that economy. And I've given some excellent performances on screen, but I never got an Oscar." No uncomfortable phone calls. No plans to coordinate. It's Just Lunch!, the best approach to dating for busy professionals. BOB DYLAN'S RAREST RECORD- INGS are to be saved as part of a $22,600 project by America's National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences. The Academy is handing over the money to preserve the recordings by transferring them from tape to CD. The rare Dylan recordings were taped in the New York apartment of Agnes Cunningham and Gordon Friesen in the early 1960s. The couple started a recording studio and maga- zine, Broadside, in their living room and brought in folk stars, including Dylan, to record. The collection now includes 1,500 songs and interviews, which will soon be transferred to CD. ACTRESS AND SINGER BARBRA STREISAND, who just celebrated her 60th birthday, has had to accept a third of the price she was demanding for her plush New York apartment. The star has finally sold her Manhattan penthouse to a single businesswoman for $4 million, after originally asking $12 million when she put the property on the market four years ago. Streisand's problem has been her apartment building's co-op board, which can veto prospective buyers, such as troubled singer Mariah Carey, who had previously bid $10 million. Said a friend, quoted in London's Gwyneth Paltrow: "Stand up straight!" Daily Mail: "This has been a time of re-appraisal for Barbra.
