Let There Be No Mistake ...

A resemblance to a famous personage is a readily exploitable commodity, but few have taken as much advantage of natural coincidence as Actor James LaRoe. In case anyone is uncertain as to whom Mr. LaRoe, 44, favors, here is the last clue: his stage name is Richard M. Dixon. The transmogrification from LaRoe to Dixon has brought the actor unwonted success. He will impersonate the President in a six-page fashion spread in Harper's Bazaar in January, as well as in the more cerebral Harper's magazine. He has recently finished filming a satiric movie--titled Richard.

Dixon relies solely on visual impact; he makes no attempt to out-Milhous Comedian David Frye, an uncanny mimic. Dixon is often mistaken for Nixon on the street, and though he has never been introduced to the President, he did meet Julie Eisenhower in Washington recently. Says Dixon: "She reminded me of my own 22-year-old daughter Kathy." Well, of course.
