So to stop things from going south, they've moved production -- north.The late Diane Keaton made one documentary in her entire movie career -- a quirky film called "Heaven". Now that it's getting a posthumous re-release, its producer tells us about Ms. Keaton's vision. A South African town is mourning the abduction of its beloved Beverley. Beverley is a mannequin in a bikini that stood in a reservoir on a country road -- but has vanished without a ripple.As It Happens, the Friday Edition. Radio that believes no body's perfect.
