Problem Child
Was it really necessary to have two pictures of Shannen Doherty on
the cover ( 167, April 23)? Andy Warhol once said that everyone gets
15 minutes of fame. If that is true, then Ms. Doherty has already had
14 minutes too many.

Shannen Doherty already thinks like Marilyn Quayle. Why make her
wear the same outfits?

It amazes me how some people confuse actors with the characters
they play. Brenda Walsh is a bitch. Shannen Doherty is not. To quote
Shannen from Heathers: ''Jealous much?''

What's all the fuss over Shannen Doherty? I commend her for being
strong, spirited, and bitchy. I'm sure a lot of young women are very
jealous of her. To Shannen: You go, girl!

The Girls of Summer
I was 11 years old in 1962 and played sandlot baseball. After
reading your review of The Sandlot, I had one question: Where are the
girls in The Sandlot?

Best Westerns
Great. After Star Wars was released we had space flicks galore;
today Hollywood's churning out copycat psycho-thrillers inspired by Fatal Attraction (itself similar to Clint Eastwood's Play Misty for
Me). Movies such as Dances With Wolves and Unforgiven were successful
because they were well written and directed, not just because they
were Westerns. Aren't there any original ideas for a new genre?

Aero' Mail
Wow! Who put the chip on David Browne's shoulder? He doesn't like
the new Aerosmith album and, boy, this surprises me. I like it.
They're opening their world tour in Topeka, Kan.; you can't go wrong.
Thank God I don't base my music selection on what the critics say.

Robbing De Niro
Robert De Niro is a wuss''? Good grief, one does not write things
like that about the greatest actor in the universe. Besides, I'm sure
his impersonation of Richard Widmark in the remake of Night and the
City is every bit as good as his impersonation of Robert Mitchum in
the remake of Cape Fear.

Hot Sheet Takes Heat
I am so tired of Jim Mullen's sexist, racist Hot Sheet! I was
extremely outraged by his ''back in the kitchen'' comment. Does he feel
''cool'' making such biased ''jokes''? If so, he has a lot of growing up
to do, and that's coming from a 14-year-old girl.
