topical dramas The film to be shown Sunday at 930 pm also stars August Schellenberg in story of young glrls discovery of her Metts roots Inner serenity gives appeal to the star of Soap series By JOHN BOGEHT opley News Service HOLLYWOOD It isnt just the aged golden color inside the Hollywood Brown Derby that makes her shine Theres an inner serenity not to mention her classic good looks that makes Katherine Helmond such an eyecatcher Slight and greeneyed her antique rings and elegant low cut tress suit the auburnhaired actress completely On top of this the Texasborn Jessica Tate of Soap is the essence of gentility managing to be softspoken talkative and all together charming at the sametime She says she acquired this nature from her grandmother now 91 while growing up in Galveston She gave me sense of con tinuity familial love and security that has held me well in business that can drive perr pledrazy quickly Today grandmothers no longer live with the family That sense of security and respect is gone from the scene In the place of respect for age and experience we see only respect for stardom and feeling that one must be suc cess by age or youve fail ed HEADLONII RUSH Oddly enough for time she too was driven by this headlong rush for success Until that is European tour in an ONeill play demonstrated to her that fame was not the only reward for her labors Doing ONeill at the Edin burgh Festival made me realize how differently actors are treated in Europe Its not fame or wealth that causes peo ple to hold you in esteem there its the fact that youre practic ing an art that makes what you so special no matter how well known you are Surprisingly when she made these conclusions and returned to New York big breaks and success came her way Until that time four years ago llelmond had been travell ing long and very rocky road to her present status through succession of little theatres and nowhere jobs Ive been very discouraged in my day but it is curious how life works

wellguarded secret but few facts can be leaked It is plane with an in ternational crew Alain Delon David Warner and George Ken nedy representing France Great Britain and the US are in the cockpit and it is enroute from Washington to Moscow It is heading to the 80 Olym pics and it has some American and some Russian athletes among its passengers and for some reason it is attacked but what the attack

Im not sure said the director David Lowell Rich if this attack is an explosion or missile attack or drone at tack Presumably then there are several attacks There is also another subplot which pro ducer Jennings Lang told me about This picture was designed for the Concorde Lang says The story only fits the Con corde Weve got heart in New York and weve got woman whos got kid in Paris and the only way you can get that heart to that kid in time is by the Con corde So theres race against time too in addition to the story of the attack and whatever else they are plann ing to throw into the heart stopping hopper The biggest problem however wont be seen on the screen As Lang tells it the big gest problem was getting per mission to use the mane Con corde He says the story alone could make book because of the ramifications of the ar rangements Lang says he first wrote the story feeling that to make new Airport film almost cried out for Concorde background as that is the cur rent queen of the skies After his story was written he began trying to get the necessary OKs to use the name He began making inquiries to find out who to contact He would up having to deal with literally dozens of people because the plane is joint BritishFrench creation And he had to deal with manufac turers and air lines in both countries The whole process of getting the official 0K from all con cerned took Lang about year And some conditions were set forth too They wanted to make sure that the crews were not made to look like jerks Lang says and the plane had to survive And they were afraid that it might give the wrong impres sion if the crew discussed broads or booze with frivolity in the cockpit We made one slight devia tion about that We have cou ple of funny lines in there that they didnt understand and we got them through OK ONLY at LIST PRICE ALBUMS OLIVIA NEWTON JOHN TOTALLY HOT YES GOING FOR THE ONE NAzAmII No MEAN cm VILLAGE PEOPLE CRUISIN SATURDAY ONLY 69 DUNLOP ST BLOCKS WEST OF
