No 72 Gavin Lambert
After a Hollywood orgy, a young girl emerges from a swimming pool in morning light. \"Is there anyone you should call?\" asks the host, \"anyone who'll be wondering where you are?\" \"No, there's no one in the world,\" she replies.
Stress sufferers take terrorism risk to heart
[Gavin Lambert] said it was unlikely the findings could be extrapolated to people who watched TV reports of the Bali terrorist attacks of October 2002, saying the two events were like \"chalk and cheese\" as Bali received much less coverage. The effect noticed in the US study, where acute stress became long-term due to ongoing warnings and fears about repeated terrorist attacks, also probably would not apply to Australia, where terror threats have been less immediate, Lambert said.
Lift in mood cuts heart risk
The discovery is based on the theory that heightened nervous system activity was to blame for heart disease. Although it has been recognised for just three years that depression increases heart disease risk, what was causing the extra risk was still a mystery. Gavin Lambert and colleagues from Melbourne's Baker Heart Research Institute decided to explore one of the theories, involving heightened nervous system activity. Treating the depression with a modern antidepressant such as Prozac not only improved the depression but \"substantially reduced\" the activity in their cardiac sympathetic nerves, Dr Lambert said. \"So it's essential that they do get treatment for their depression - - that's really the take-home message.\"
Author wrote screenplays, expose novels

Obituaries; Gavin Lambert, 80; British-Born Screenwriter, Chronicler of Hollywood
A former editor of the prestigious British film magazine Sight & Sound, Lambert arrived in Hollywood in the mid 1950s as director Nicholas Ray's assistant. From then on, he devoted much of his life crafting what one book reviewer called \"elegant, elegiac, arch fictions about his adopted home, Hollywood.\" Kevin Thomas, The Times' veteran film writer, said Lambert \"was tremendously knowledgeable about Hollywood people and history, and very perceptive, very insightful and very comprehensive. I consider him a big loss as someone who I think had a real understanding of Hollywood's legacy and how Hollywood has worked.\" [Gavin Lambert]: Also an author, Lambert wrote the novel \"Inside Daisy Clover\" and biographies of actresses [Norma Shearer] and [Natalie Wood]. He arrived in Hollywood in the mid 1950s as director Nicholas Ray's assistant.
