Banderas receives
Latino arts award
PASADENA,
Calif. (AP) — An
tonio Banderas
was honored with
two American
Latino Media Arts
Awards for por
traying a positive
Hispanic image.
Banderas won
for his work in The 13th Warrior, a
mythological melodrama, and for
the first movie he directed, Crazy
in Alabama.
Ricky Martin and Jennifer
Lopez were among other winners
Sunday. The show was taped for
broadcast June 17 on ABC.
Lopez was named female en
tertainer of the year, and Martin
was honored as male entertainer
of the year.
Last year, Banderas was
named outstanding actor for The
Mask of Zorro.
Winfrey discusses
new magazine, O
NEW YORK
(AP) — It may not
be all Oprah, all
the time, but
Oprah Winfrey’s
new magazine, ti
tled 0, comes
pretty close.
Guess who
will grace the cov
er of every issue for the “foresee
able future”? And there is plenty
more of Oprah inside, too.
Essays from the magazine’s
creator and lead personality, titled
“Let’s Talk” and “What I Know for
Sure,” are at the very beginning
and very end of each issue.
Then there is “Oprah to Go,”
cutout cards with inspiring quota
tions chosen by the television talk
show host.
The magazine, which is a part
nership with Hearst Corp., goes
on sale Wednesday.
Fans need not worry that Win
frey’s new project will dominate
her time.
“For me, the Oprah show is still
the mother lode,” Winfrey said.

tiers fail to end rumors about Garbo, socialite’s relationship
i PHILADELPHIA (AP) —After years of a rumored
love affair between Greta Garbo and socialite Mercedes
i deAcosta, secret letters from Garbo that were unsealed
'over the weekend failed to put the decades-old specula-
to rest.
H The 113 items, including 25 letters, plus notes that ac-
Mipanied flowers, telegrams, photos and poems, chron-
:Ied a 28-year friendship of ups and downs, but gave no
Iplicit evidence of a lesbian relationship between, said
Jpo grandniece Gray Reisfield Horan.
■“I see nothing that refers to a liaison,” said Horan, 40.
Idon’t think there’s much here to back it up. I only knew
Hto be interested in men.
■“Garbo’s mystery remains intact,” she said.
■The items were unsealed at the Rosenbach Museum
and Library in Philadelphia on Saturday — the 10th an
niversary of Garbo’s death at age 84 — before museum
officials and Horan. About half of the letters was on ex
hibit for reporters today and will be open for public view
ing from Tuesday through June 4.
“The fact that the letters didn’t say anything explicit,
like I love you or I need you, says a lot. Mercedes would
have demanded that from her lover and pasted it in her
Bible,” said Garbo biographer Karen Swenson. “But, it
still left the question mark there. People will interpret
things however they want to.
“For anyone to have expected she would say anything
explicitly was contrary to Garbo’s character, ” Swenson said.
The museum would not allow any excerpts of the let
ters to be directly quoted, citing the wishes of the Garbo
estate, which is reserving the right to publish the material.
Some of the letters reveal a friendship that involved vis
its and birthday wishes.
Others were of Garbo telling Acosta of her wishes to
be left alone and her unhappiness with the acting profes
sion. In one letter Garbo tells Acosta not to bother her, but
a later letter shows them back on friendly terms.
Acosta gave the letters to the Rosenbach in 1960 with
the stipulation that they not be opened until 10 years after
the death of Garbo or Acosta, whichever came later. Acos
ta died in 1968. Garbo died April 15, 1990.
The two women were very close friends and sustained
an on-and-off relationship from 1931 to 1959. Biogra
phers, historians and family members have disagreed for
years on whether they were lovers.
