The Gossip Column BY ROBIN ADAMS SLOAN
Q: Is it true, my favorite
singer, Tom Jones, has had
plastic surgery? H.H.,
Birmingham, Mich.
A: Yes. Tom has had a
couple of things done that
have improved his looks
tremendously. His nose, for
instance. Photographs of him
before 1972 are remarkably
different. We say bravo .to
this.

Q: We've always been
fascinated with the scan-
dalous Sarah Miles. Has her
husband, Robert Bolt, tried to
get her to come back to him
since she left England to live
in Hollywood?— R.Z., Yum,a,
Ariz.
A: Bolt seems much too
busy with his own affairs to
bother with Sarah. For a while
he was seen everywhere with
a beautiful 24-year-&ld model.
However, the man who wrote
the script for "Lawrence of
Arabia" has now taken up
with Debbie Condon, the 35 -
year -old daughter of Writer
Richard Cond'6n ("The
Manchurian Candidate").. We
think Sarah has been
'replaced.

Q: Why does Burt Reynolds
say those outrageous things
when he is sitting in for
Johnny Carson? Insyults and
everything. Doesn't he have
any tact? — H.O., Naples, Fla.
A: Burt likes to think of
himself as a fighter who
believes in the virtues of plain
talk. Some Reynolds com-
ments from a recent in-
terview: On criticism: Peter
Bogdanovich is so afraid of it
that he has a secretary screen
all reading matter and cut out
derogatory items; Al Pacino
runs away and hides from it
between pictures; Robert
Redford is as immune from it
as the American flag. On
Marlon Prando: He's a genius
as an actor but he has the
mi'nd–of an 11 -year-old. On
Raquel Welch: Nobody
thought less of Raquel than I
did until I saw real tears when
she accepted the Golden Globe
award; maybe she's not en-
tirely plastic after all.
Q: I saw Bing Crosby on TV
during his golf tournament in
California. He looked good.
Didn't he have lung cancer?
T.M., Naples, Fla.
A: He's reported to be doing
fine. Apparently his problem
was not cancer, but a fungus
growth on his lung and it had
to be scraped off. The ex-
perience is said to have
brought a deeper dimension to
his marriage and softened up
the old "Groaner" who can be
pretty obgtinate at times.
When his daughter, Mary
Frances, 15, defied him and
insisted on going to school in
Mexico he refused to_ answer
het. letters. When she called
during his illness, however,
they made up.
SCANDAL OF THE WEEK:
We hope for the sake of a
famous American writer
(married, supposedly happily
for years) that the economy
doesn't get too bad. His former
mistress says if money gets
really tight, she'll have to sell
the ardent and highly indiscreet
letters he wrote her.
Q: Does Mick Jagger's wife,
Bianca, work? — H.W., N.Y.,
N.Y.
..A: She does model. The
London Sunday Times
(usually reliable) reports
Bianca's fee for a day's work
is $2,500.
