Entertainment Highlights in History Wednesday January 5 1:14 PM ET dailynews.yahoo.com By The Associated Press Entertainment highlights during the week of Jan. 9-15: 60 years ago: ''His Girl Friday,'' directed by Howard Hawks, premiered at New York's Radio City Music Hall. The film starred Cary Grant, Rosalind Russell and Ralph Bellamy. 30 years ago: Singer Diana Ross and the Supremes made their final live performance together at a show in Las Vegas. And an exhibition of John Lennon lithographs was raided by police in London, who were acting under the Obscene Publications Act. 20 years ago: The Grateful Dead, Jefferson Starship and the Beach Boys performed at a benefit concert in Oakland, Calif., to aid the people of Kampuchea. 15 years ago: Nearly 3,000 people packed New York's Carnegie Hall for a tribute to Myrna Loy, the red-haired actress who played opposite William Powell in six ''Thin Man'' films. And on her first day as co-anchor of the ''CBS Morning News,'' Phyllis George interviewed a movie heartthrob, a heart specialist and a computer hacker. ''This has been great so far,'' Miss George said while chatting with co-anchor Bill Kurtis midway through the broadcast. 10 years ago: Bob Dylan kicked off an international tour at a nightclub in New Haven, Conn. Backed by a three-piece band, Dylan played ''Rainy Day Women Nos. 12 and 35'' and ''One More Cup of Coffee,'' as well as new material. ''The Simpsons'' premiered as a weekly half-hour series on Fox television. And LaToya Jackson, Roseanne Barr, Demi Moore and Kim Basinger led Mr. Blackwell's 30th annual list of worst-dressed celebrities. Five years ago: Janis Joplin, Frank Zappa, Led Zeppelin, Neil Young, Al Green and the Allman Brothers Band were among the artists inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. ''Without trying, Janis became an icon, the only goddess in a sea of rock gods,'' Melissa Etheridge said as she inducted Joplin, a blues-rocker who died of a drug overdose in 1970. And the E Street Band, which backed Bruce Springsteen for 15 years before splitting up in the late 1980s, reunited briefly to cut a pair of new tunes for a greatest hits album. It was the first time since 1984's ''Born in the USA'' that Springsteen had recorded with the entire band. Spoken 15 years ago: ''Violence is nothing new. It's given to kids out of the Old Testament in stories that are much more violent than any film I've made.'' - Tough-guy actor Clint Eastwood. Spoken 10 years ago: ''The show is ultimately a celebration; it's about having a good time.'' - Matt Groening, creator of ''The Simpsons,'' a new series on Fox television. Spoken five years ago: ''I've got to remember why I'm in this. I don't know why people don't stay grounded. I'm aware of what happens to some young actors, but I don't know why. I mean, they act and then they think they're hot. It's really stupid.'' - Twelve-year-old actress Kirsten Dunst.
