Toronto's Frozen Ghost, shown here during a gig in September at the Hi Arrow Arms Motor Hotel, won K.D. Lang beats out Murray for top Juno TORONTO (CP) — K.D. Lang had ended an era but she wasn't about to gloat about taking the Juno Award as the top female country vocalist and ending Anne -Murray's string of seven consecutive wins. “It's a great honor because Anne Murray has been an influence on me since an early age,” Lang said backstage at its success as the first Canadian group to score top 10 hits in the 1960s, but singer Burton Cummings was angry the band had not been given a chance to talk on TV. “I think it's cheesy with a capital C,” Cummings ex claimed backstage. But Peter Steirimetz, president of the Canadian Monday night’s 1987 Juno Awards live on the CBC TV network from the O'Keefe Centre. The native of Consort, Alta., who was celebrating her 26th birthday Monday, also won the rising star and top entertainer award at this year’s Canadian Country Music Awards and her debut album on a major label sold 50,000 copies in Canada. Bryan Adams was the only multiple winner. The Vancouven rocker took the new Entertainer of the Year award, which was voted on by the public, and the top male vocalist for the fifth consecutive year. Adams, who was unable to attend the show because of commitments in London, was nominated for six awards and his lacklustre showing Monday can be attributed to his dis- appointing Into the Fire LP. The album was a move to more socially conscious song. writing, but sales stalled at 300,000 copies in Canada compared to his 1984 Reckless album which sold more than a million copies in Canada. Montreal's Luba captured the top female vocalist award for the third straight year which shut Murray out of the, winners’ circle this year. Luba was also reluctant to applaud herself. “T'm excited today and will be tomorrow but then it's business as usual.” The big loser was Corey Hart, who came up empty despite four nominations.

Kim Mitchell won the best album award for his Shakin’ Like a Human Being LP which sold more than 200,000 in Canada but bombed in the United States. But the lanky Mitchell said: “America isn’t the be all and end all. I got a pretty good thing going here.” Glass Tiger, last year’s big winners with three Junos, won best single for Someday. Jim Vallance wrote Someday and was honored as best composer for the second straight year. Tom Cochrane and Red Rider won best group on the strength of its self-titled fifth album. Even though Rita MacNeil, the 42-year-old native of Cape Breton, N.S., has more than fulfilled her promise during a 17-year career in the Maritimes, she was named most promising female vocalist. Tim Freehan of Edmonton won most promising male vocalist. The Toronto group Frozen Ghost was named most promising group. Ian Tyson, ex-husband of singer Sylvia Tyson, won the first Juno of his long career as top country male vocalist. Tyson also won three awards at this year’s Canadian Country Music Awards. Toronto's Prairie Oyster won the top country group award for the second consecutive year. safety, the thugs re-appear. While a company official says the visually exciting ad stands out, critics say it's a medium without a message. “If General Motors is in the entertainment business, I think it's great,” said Chris Yaneff, who runs a Toronto ad agency. “But it won't sell cars.” “It's a technique in search of an idea,” said Gary Prouk, chairman of agency Scali Mc- Cabe Sloves in Toronto. “It’s self-indulgent without being elegant or even interesting.” But the cinematography for the 60-second ad is ex. cellent, Prouk admitted. GM is sensitive about the controversy, said the official Ad creates controversy in charge of the campaign, who refused to comment in any detail. “We feel pretty good about the ads,” said Barry Kuntz, Pontiac-Buick marketing manager. “We're please be- cause we gave our agency a direction to take the cam- paign into’a new realm.

Romance videos the latest MONTREAL (CP) — the market support more ro- mance videos? The producers of the Shades of Love series are betting it can. Five months after the first eight Shades of Love ro- mance videos were released on pay TV and in retail outlets, production continues on another batch with color- ful names like Indigo Aut- umn, Little White Lies, Tan- gerine Taxi, and currently, The Emerald Tear. The formula is simple enough: Combine a high-pro: file American actor with a low-profile Canadian actress and put them in a Harlequin romance-style plot. Film the whole 80-minute episode over a two-week period on a $1-million budget — and presto — another video which retails for $19.95. The latest American hunk to be recruited for this pro- ject is actor Ed Marinaro, best known in his post-foot- ball incarnation as Officer Joe Coffey in the now-de- funct TV series, Hill Street Blues. In this Shades of Love video, Marinaro plays reclu- sive millionaire Edward De- coursey who is pursued by an ambitious young journalist (actor Gordon Pinsent’s daughter Leah) attempting to find the valuable Emerald Tear. “The main thing about this character is that you wouldn't know that he’s a millionaire,” says Marinaro, 87. “I'm trying to play him like a guy who's totally un- pretentious.” Marinaro’s first big break came in 1981 with a 13-week stint on Laverne and Shirley.

Ramis portrays yuppie in film LOS ANGELES (AP) — What's this? Harold Ramis, the hippest of the hip, the fellow who helped supply shack investment banker who shares a Manhattan apart- ment with business executive Diane Keaton. “I am a yuppie, t's perfect for me,” Ramis insists. “Even when I was a hippie I was a yuppie at heart. I was an ambitious hippie. “My character in Baby Boom is very uptight and precise. I'm actually quite compulsive myself, very h gh and troupe and the National Lam- (Meatballs, Stripes, Back to School). “Td like to be a main- stream film actor,” he said. “It’s my not-so-secret ambi- tion. I always thought . of writing as a way to pay the rent, “I thought I was a timid actor in some sense, in that I didn't want to stake my whole livelihood and happi- ness in being an actor, but I was always eagerly looking for parts to play. “Probably if I had been a less writer I would about doing things. I share a lot with the character in the movie,” he said. “Still, the stuff I do in the movie is comic. It's in the realm of reality but it’s the broadest thing in the movie, although Diane's handling of the baby is quite funny. “Charles Shyer and Nancy Meyer, who wrote, directed the film, Hamilton's Quest — the 10-part television mini-series which starts airing on BCTV tonight at 7:30 p.m. — was created by a Winlaw couple. The series chronicles the adventures of Sonny Hamilton and explores the issue of adoption. Sonny has everything going for him when tragedy strikes on his 18th birthday. His parents are killed in a car wreck and Sonny uncovers a secret which changes all his plans. Sonny realizes he must search down his past before he can get on with his future. Tom and Sally Drake, who have lived on a seven-acre farm in Winlaw for the past 17 years, created the mini-series. The Drakes wrote seven of the 10 half-hour episodes and worked as story consultants on thé show. »o.former. Slocan. Valley residents guest.star in episodes in the series. “Ruby Truly and Tom Heaton both moved to the Kootenays at the same time we did,” Sally Drake said in a CTV news release. “We became friends because we all came from similar backgrounds in U.S. television.” Both actors have continued to work professionally in Canada. Truly was a long-time member of the local troupe Theatre Energy. When casting sessions began in Calgary, the Drakes recommended Truly and Heaton. “We'd written the parts with them in mind, but we didn't have creative control regarding casting. It was wonderful when they got the parts on their own ability,” said Tom Drake. ‘The $2 million mini-series was produced in Calgary by Penta One Productions, a consortium of CTV station owners and managers. Hamilton's Quest is the first TV series ever privately financed in Canada. “Penta One Productions took a big chance with this series,” said the Drakes. “We're extremely grateful to the men at Penta. All the Canadian broadcasters pay lip service to the idea of producing Canadian drama, but TV series created by Winlaw couple these men put their money where their mouths were.” The mini-series has sold to every CTV market in Canada. The fan mail has begun pouring in and there is talk that the series may be picked up for another season. “We'd love to write more shows if the public wants them,” said Tom Drake. “This show was a real pleasure to do. It was nice not to write for Hollywood, and even nicer to write something shot ‘in Canada which wasn't pretending it took place in the U.S.” ‘The Canadian prairies makes a spectacular backdrop for Hamilton's Quest. “Good drama can take place anywhere,” said Sally Drake. “We think the show will be successful in the U.S., too. Americans can relate to the stories and they'll be even more. interested in them because they're taking place in Canada. Canadians don’t realize how fascinated Americans are with Canada. I don't think most U.S. producers realize this either. When I'm in the States and tell people I live in Canada, they open right up. They're, much more friendly than they'd be if I still lived in California.” The idea for Hamilton's Quest came out of a real experience in the Drakes’ lives. Tom Drake lost his son by his first marriage to adoption, was heartbroken and could only hope that someday his son Tad would be told about his natural father. Eleven years ago, when he turned 18, Tad wrote his father, quoting the Bob Dylan lyric, “. . . and where are you now, my blue-eyed son?” The Drakes and their three sons were overjoyed when a few months later Tad came to visit. them at the family farm. Tad has remained extremely close to Tom and Sally and his three half- brothers, and though the Drakes know that nothing will make up for the lost years, they wrote the series as a gift for him. “Many of the story ideas besides the adoption theme came from living on our farm in Winlaw,” said Tom a.
