"We're going for a look very far removed from the Boris Karloff, bolts-in-the-neck, square-head thing," the Irish-born actor-director-producer told The Dallas Morning News. Branagh is directing and acting in the recently announced movie, and Robert De Niro will play the monster. Francis Ford Coppola will produce the film. Mary Shelley's classic horror novel has been made into more than two dozen films. "We're trying to stick as closely as we can to the book," Branagh said.

Last week's news that after five years of marriage to Loni Anderson, Burt Reynolds had filed for divorce, came as a blow to romantic Americans everywhere.

You don't have to take this lying down. If you wish to write to Burt and Loni, reminding them that there's still time to put their differences behind them, Thomas Burford's new book, "Celebrity Access," provides addresses: Burt Reynolds, 1061 Indian Town Road, Jupiter, Fla. 33458; Loni Anderson, Sandy Hook Productions, 20652 Lassen No. 98, Chatsworth, Calif. 91311.
