DEAR STACY: It was fun to see Candice Bergen on Michael J. Fox's show. What else is she doing? She's a favorite. — Len S., Warren, Ohio

DEAR LEN: Bergen is among the cast of "A Friggin' Christmas Miracle," an ensemble movie comedy from director Tristram Shapeero ("Community"). It's about a guy who realizes he's left all his son's Christmas gifts in another city, and frantically tries to replace them Christmas Eve. Robin Williams, Jeffrey Tambor, Joel McHale, Lauren Graham, Wendy McLendon-Covey and Oliver Platt are also in the flick that is expected to hit screens next year.

DEAR STACY: I would like to know whatever became of the little boy who played Jack Nicholson's son in "The Shining." He seemed to disappear. — Brenda H., Albuquerque, N.M.

DEAR BRENDA: Danny Lloyd, now 40, made one other movie — the 1982 "Will: The Autobiography of G. Gordon Liddy" telepic starring Robert Conrad — then left acting. He became a science teacher in Illinois.

DEAR STACY: Whatever became of Ringo Starr's daughter who had a brain tumor? Did she survive? — Jamie, New Port Richey, Fla.

DEAR JAMIE: Lee Starkey, the 43-year-old makeup artist and fashion designer, was successfully treated for a brain tumor both in 1995 and 2001. She lives a more quiet life than her two older brothers, drummers Zak and Jason, but has occasionally turned up in the public eye. In 1998, she sang backup vocals on "La De Da" on Ringo's "Vertical Man." In 2009, she and guitarist Jay Mehler announced they were expecting triplets. She's been seen at Stella McCartney fashion shows and at her brothers' concerts.

DEAR STACY: Please settle a trivial matter. My friend believes Jude Law is short of stature. I think she is incorrect. Who's right? — M.C., Sherman Oaks, Calif.

DEAR M.C.: Law stands 5 feet 11 inches. However, your friend is not the first person to get the impression he's more slightly built. The actor himself has brought up the fact that some feel he is short, but has noted that's only because "I hang out with very, very, very tall men."
