It was 1969 before she revised her old surroundings, talking about her brief but effective roles as a junkie opposite Marlon Brando in Hubert Cornfield's strange, failed movie The Night of the Following Day and as Alan Arkms Puerto Rican girl fnend in Popi. It was becoming clearer that inside the stereotyped spitfire of ail the corny roles was a fine actress waiting to be heard. By then she had married Leonard Gordon, a Manhattan internist, and nad had a daughter, Fernanda, who is now 10. Calming Humor (Dr. Gordon has a dry and calming sense of humor. Recently, while their New York apartment was being redecorated, Ms. Moreno had to pile all her beauty vials, Bacons, jars, tubes and bottles on a counter beside the kitchen sink. Dr. Gordon took a slow look at the display and said, My God, nobody is that ugly ) She was also then keeping continuously and adventurously busy on stage, touring in The Rose Tattoo and, she says, playing dotty Victorian ladies, doing farce, doing anything to stretch. She starred opposite Janies Coco in "Last of the Red Hot Lovers, did The National Health at the Long Wharf in New Haven and won an award for her performance.

She sang almost incomprehensible Spanish accent, as if auditioning for a bus and truck touring company of "Gypsy." After a series of happy coincidences she went public in The Ritz on Broadway a couple of years ago, causing an upward run of the yo-y- o and a fresh outbreak of stardom for her creator. Sweet Triumph And now Ms. Moreno returns to Hollywood in sweet triumph as the same y Googie in Richard spectacularly Lesters filming of The Ritz.

The engendering of The Ritz is one of those upbeat stones that keep show biz going. She had been doing the spitfire as a party piece for years and Do her, Rita, please, had come to be a common late evening cry. There was indeed a late evening cast party when James Coco left Last of the Red Hot Lovers Dr. Gordon slyly suggested that in addition to the spitfire songfest, it would be a nice going-awapresent if Ms. Moreno offered Coco some hints on improving his performance, in the fonn of the Flayer King speech from Hambt," recited in Googies unforgettable accents. It was a smash, and one of the listeners was playwright Terence McNally and another was Robert Drivas. As writers will, McNally vowed that he was going to build a play around the character.

But leave us not worry about the Sinatras having a roof over their heads. They have their choice of many. In the Sinatra compounu are several guest cottages. And Barbara told me they plan to stay in one of them until they leave for New York next week. Frank will use New York as home base while he does several weeks of on the East Coast. That telethon reunion between Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin, arranged for by Sinatra, didnt happen just like that. Frank worked on the reunion for 10 months. It was truly a total surprise to Jerry.
