He gazed up at the Cheops pyramid, shopped in the bazaars and once even cried out, "This is one of the happiest days of my life!" In other words, Israeli Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan, 64, behaved like any other tourist on his first trip to Cairo and environs. Visiting, by coincidence, on the twelfth anniversary of the 1967 Arab-Israeli war, Dayan was in town with his wife Rachel to talk to Egyptian officials about opening the borders between their two countries. At one point a storeowner proudly showed him a copy of a pharaonic deity. "It's very nice," said Dayan, an accomplished archaeologist, "but I don't collect replicas."

The first bench sitter once worked with a woman named Gracie, the last one with a man named Jackie, and the middle one with Marilyn Monroe and Marlon Brando. Today, Actors George Burns and Art Carney and Actors Studio Patriarch Lee Strasberg are teamed for Going in Style, now filming in New York City. "It's about three old guys living together on Social Security," explains Burns, who at 83 is the oldest of the trio. "I asked Lee how old he was. He told me 77, so I asked him to get me a glass of water." Burns cracks that he has no trouble looking the part --"with a lot of makeup." Say good night, George.

Now Steven Ford, 23, son of the former President, has discovered more happy trails: he plays a deputy in an upcoming comedy western called Cattle Annie and Little Britches. Has the seasoned rodeo rider had any acting training? Sure, says Ford: "The 2 1/2 years I spent being a President's son."

With her sinewy shanks and thewy thighs, the new nurse in Pine Valley Hospital on ABC's daytime soaper All My Children could easily be a pro- athlete. She is: it's Czech-born Tennis Czarina Martina Navratilova--, 22, making her acting debut. As a nurse named Bolasni in episode No. 2,448, Navratilova is on-camera for exactly four seconds, time enough to walk past a couch and out of the picture. She only emotes during an off-camera stethoscopy by the show's heartthrob, Dr. Chuck Tyler (Richard Van Vleet). "They probably didn't know I spoke English," grumbled the 1978 Wimbledon champ.
