		Born 81 years ago in the Bronx as Armand Archerd — “Army” is a boyhood nickname that hung on — he sits quietly for an interview in the kitchen of his art-filled Westwood home, facing the UCLA campus — but the daily 4:30 p.m.
		Archerd culls the names of show biz’s great and near-great from an unmatched contact list, stashed in three drawers of his desk, that would make any other reporter, or agent, “plotz” with envy, he said.
		Archerd grew up in what he calls a “very Jewish home,” with a French-born mother and Romanian-born father, and he has on hand the tallit and tefillin from his bar mitzvah.

		Archerd’s “Just for Variety” column has been a regular page-2 feature since 1953, offering a steady stream of inside tidbits on movies, TV shows and their stars with scoops ranging Rock Hudson’s AIDS diagnosis to Frank Sinatra’s last words.
		Archerd, 83, has appeared as himself in more than 100 films and TV shows and was a frequent emcee at movie premieres in town.
		In later years, Archerd tended to focus on Hollywood’s older set, and his column -- seen by some as outdated in an era of round-the-clock tabloid journalism on TV and the Internet -- was scaled back to twice a week in 2003.

	Army Archerd
		Archerd was accomodating, but he also thought of himself as a reporter, so he doublechecked his facts and rarely got the story wrong.

		Archerd is said to have invented the pre-Oscar "red carpet interview", and for many years he manned a podium midway down the red carpet at every Oscars ceremony, facing the fans in the grandstands and rapid-fire interviewing the stars as they walked toward the door.
