What are we doing running through the jungle? “ Robert Mitchum was her frequent leading man in ‘the taut, cynical melodramas filmed on slender budgets at RKO. Married to attorney Edward Lasker and mother of three sons, Greer quit her career 22 years ago. She is now divorced, her sons are grown, and she has returned to acting. The mature Jane Greer can be seen on CBS-TV's Falcon Crest for six episodes starting Dec. 14. She plays Charlotte Pershing, long-lost mother of Maggie (Susan Sullivan). She of course becomes a pawn in the manipulation of Angela Channing (Jane Wyman). TV viewers will find Greer retains her cool, unattainable beauty — and that voice. Its dark tones still hint of intrigue and untellable secrets. She enjoyed the Falcon Crest experience, especially seeing Wyman again, but admitted: “I'm glad I'm not a regular in a series. I don’t really like working that hard. I'm too old for 4:30 (a.m.) calls.” BECOMES SINGER Born Bettejane Greer 60 years ago in Washington, D.C., she became a band singer. In the Second World War, she was one of three young women chosen to model the new Women's Army Corps uniforms. Her beauty eaught the vigilant eye of billionaire industrialist Howard Hughes, who signed her to a movie contract. “I found him rather endearing, like a child,” she said in an interview about the late Hughes. “His idea of fun was to go to the amusement pier at Ocean Park. He won a large collection of cupie dolls for me. But then he got very annoyed with me. He didn't want me to get married.” She married Rudy Vallee at 19 and bought her way out of the Hughes contract. The marriage ended after three years, and she pursued an acting career at RKO. When Hughes gained control of the studio, he found Jane Greer under contract. “He said I would never work there,” recalled. the actress Connie's back and she's tough LOS ANGELES (AP) ie Francis says her. autobiography forced her to “face some things — painful things,” but shows how she survived stardom and some traumatic times. Francis, 46, took the name of the book from her first hit: the early 1960s, her life has also been filled with catas trophes: a rape, the murder of her brother, bouts with depression, bad marriages. But Francis says no one should think she's weak kneed. “I'm pretty tough,” she said recently. “If I came off as Who's Sorry Now, which this noble weakling in the propelled her into stardom in book, that’s not intended.

The lyrics are more adult but the sound is much younger.” ‘SPIKES UP’ IMAGE Laat year's success of Telefone on both the dance and pop charts influenced her to “spike up” her music and move away from her image as a ballad singer. The Spanish album was an even bigger transition. “The reason I recorded in Spanish is I'm an inter- national artist and I sell records around the world. I felt if I could sing in people's native language it would open up more of the world to me, more of the public as an audience. “I don't speak a word of Spanish,” she continued in her Scottish brogue. “I learned the sounds phonetically and the translations literally so I knew what emotions | was performing.” next material afd her own hits ‘with A new English album is on next yest's Easton is winding up a U.S. tour, including a stop here at Caesars Tahoe. She spends months choosing the material for her stage show, writing the material she uses between songs and overseeing set construction, costuming and arrange- ments. “I need to project me, so when you see my show, you go away thinking, ‘Well I hate it or I love it.’ I don’t want somebody going away saying, ‘Who did I see? Just some girl singing songs.’ ” The current tour will run into late December. After the holidays, she will take a rare vacation to marry Los Angeles agent Robert Light. “I think my wedding deserves at least a two-week honeymoon.” Bergman quits films By LARS FOYEN STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN (AP) — To Ingmar Bergman, the creative genius that goes into award-winning ast films can mean using a vacuum cleaner to create a desert sandstorm or even making a pact with the devil. It was hard, draining work, made more so by a lingering fear that the next film wouldn't be as good as the last, and that's why Bergman quit. Fanny and Ak der was the last effort for the 66-year-old Swedish film-maker, though his stage and TV ‘work continues as prodigiously as ever. “I don't want to go through the physical and mental strain (of movie making) again,” Bergman says. “With advancing age, I find I'm demanding more and more of myself and becoming increasingly fearful that I won't live up to my own high standards.” Bergman, whose Fanny and Alexander won the Academy Award as best foreign film of 1983 and three other Oscars — for a foreign-l movie — recently screened a documentary at the Swedish Film Institute on the shooting of his $4-million epic, the most expensive project of his four-decades-long film career. Fanny and Alexander, produced in three-hour and five-hour versions and as a TV miniseries, is a rich, colorful fresco with motifs from the Swedish upper classes in the years preceding the First World War. Bertil Guve, who starred as 10-year-old Alexander, once said with youthful perceptiveness: “It's a film where a lot of bad things happen. People die — and they get married.” CROWNS CAREER Crities generally considered the film an upbeat crowning of s career comprising mostly introverted and pessimistic works. Two of his films, The Virgin Spring and Through a Glass Darkly, made Bergman a darling of the intelléetual elite and won him Oscars in the early ‘60s. Dressed in his customary baggy leisure wear, the notoriously shy director seemed relaxed and in a humorous mood as his associate Arne Carisson’s two-bour-plus docu- mentary was screened. He drew laughs as he ad-libbed about the nuts and bolts problems of film-making. They included instructing a black cat to cross a road at precisely the right moment — that didn’t work; keeping a Christmas smorgasbord photogenic during four days of shooting; and reversing a regular vacuum cleaner to blow whirling sand over desert wan- derers in a Hebrew legend included in the long version of the film. Bergman, son of a Luteran priest, said he made a pact with the devil while shooting exterior scenes for Wild Strawberries in 1957. “I had 16 actors waiting for the sky to clear up, so I tapped the ground and offered my soul to the devil if he would give me sun,” Bergman said. “Would you believe it, 10 minutes later there was glaring sunshine.” Holiff helps. the stars CHILDREN’S CHRISTMAS PARTY For children of Branch members, associates of L.A. members Sunday, Dec. 16 12 noon to 2 p.m. At the Legion Hall Children 9 ond under PLEASE CONTACT 365-6849 6-9 p.m. or 365-2401 or 365-3804 anytime.
