Rocker Robert Palmer Dies of Heart Attack ROBERT PALMER from A5 separately and edited them onto a clip of him singing. In Palmer's heyday, Toni Senecal, now entertainment reporter for WB11's "News at 10," was cast in a Palmer video for the song "Stone Cold," shot in a club in the Gansevoort Meat Market district of northwestern Greenwich Village. An NYU student at the time, she remembers Palmer as "witty and charming" during the shoot, which she said lasted a couple days.

"He thought the Meat Market was cool way before 'Sex and the City' did," Senecal said. "I guess he had an eye for aesthetics." His GQ sense of style also won Palmer the title of best-dressed male artist from Rolling Stone in 1990. A side project, Power Station, formed in 1985 with John Taylor and Andy Taylor of '80s supergroup Duran Duran, scored U.S. Top 10 singles with "Some Like It Hot" and a cover of the T. Rex hit "Get it On." The son of a British naval officer, Palmer was born in Yorkshire, England, on Jan.

19, 1949, and spent his childhood in Malta. He began developing his soul-rock style as early as 15, when he joined his first band, the Mandrakes. He had his first hit album and single, "Sneakin' Sally through the Alley," in 1974. Palmer is survived by Ambrose and two children. This story was supplemented with staff reports.

Plimpton also wrote in Sports Illustrated about his experiences. Among his books were "Out of My League" (1961), on baseball and "The Bogey Man" (1968), about professional golf. Hemingway called "Out of My League" "beautifully observed and incredibly conceived." The books and the acting were fun, but it was the influential journal, which published the early work of such figures as Jack Kerouac and Philip Roth, that is his lasting contribution, said playwright Edward Albee. "My admiration for George's work with The Paris Review is unbounded," he said.

In a May interview with Newsday, Plimpton said he was surprised the Review, which he edited from its start, made it to 50. Literary magazines, he said, are "delicate creatures, like butterflies." No one thought of Plimpton as delicate. He had just played racquetball or tennis, Sports Illustrated managing editor Terry McDonnell said, before they met for dinner Tuesday. "He was in high spirits," said McDonnell, as they discussed plans for an Oct. 14 Review gala (which will now celebrate Plimpton's life as well, a staffer said).

Plimpton had proposed fireworks at the event, said McDonnell, a longtime friend. He was generous to young writers, often inviting them to parties at his home, said David Yezzi, a poet and director of the 92nd Poetry Center. "We always felt we were being cherished." "He was just great," said author Paul Auster, recalling an appearance with Plimpton this summer in Central Park, at which Plimpton "had the audience in stitches." Essayist Roger Rosenblatt recalled "sitting on his porch getting slowly and beautifully drunk" in Amagansett last month as Plimpton told him about a book on birds he was writing. Plimpton was to have written a memoir soon, too. He was planning to write an article for the New York Review of Books about his visit to Hemingway's home in Cuba, said its editor, Robert Silvers, another longtime friend.

Plimpton had planned an Oct. 1 Cuba trip where he was to portray F. Scott Fitzgerald in a play, said Mona, Schreiber, program manager of Fundacion Amistad, the trip's sponsor. Schreiber is the sister of Plimpton's first wife, Freddy Medora Espy, to whom he was married from 1968 to 1988. Their children are Medora and Taylor.

In 1991, Plimpton married Sarah Whitehead Dudley, with whom he had twins, Olivia and Laura. There were no funeral arrangements as of Friday. of Remem- PINELAWN MEM PK Gdn of mandy 1 crypt for 2. 201-391-5406 845-626-7067 PLAIN LAWN CEM. Hicksville, Mausoleum, Crypts and Niches.
