Best actor tough to pick.

Oscar race offers raré
range of portrayals

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A
disabled Marine, an old woman's
chauffeur, a cerebral palsy victim, an
English teacher and a king of England
— these are the widely divergent
characterizations nominated by the
Academy of Motion Picture Arts and
Sciences for the best performance by
an actor in 1989

Rarely has the Oscar race offered
such a range of portrayals, making
perilous any predictions of the win-
ner on March 26. Daniel Day-Lewis
and Tom Cruise have been termed the
favorites.

An Oscar for Cruise would reward
a star who is already on top of the
Hollywood heap. After four smash
hits in a row — The Color of Money,
Top Gun, Cocktail and Rain Man —
he is the actor studios want most

Cruise took a chance with Born on
the Fourth of July, devoting painful
months to portray Ron Kovic, the
paraplegic Vietnam veteran who
became an anti-war activist.

“Tom worked for nothing for 18
months to make this picture happen,””
says director Oliver Stone. ‘He came
from the same background as Ron:
working class, Catholic upbringing.
He was motivated by the same desires
to be the best at what he does, to be a

HOLLYWOOD (AP) — For the
third week in a row, The Hunt for
Red October was the favorite movie
inthe United States.

nery as a renegade Soviet submarine
commander, collected $11.1 million
US for first place, figures released
Monday by Exhibitor Relations Co.

interview Cruise said of his

'd like people to see that Kovic
is not simply a victim. Instead, he
creates his life every day in the face of
more difficulty than most of us have
experienced.’"

Christy Brown’s adversity seemed
insuperable. Born into a large, poor
Dublin family, his cerebral palsy
made control of his body impossible
— except for his left foot. Yet he
managed to-become an acclaimed ar-
tist and writer.

Daniel Day-Lewis, last seen as the
libertine surgeon in The Unbearable
Lightiless of Being, undertook the
punishing role in My Left Foot. The
son of a one-time poet laureate of
England and an actress, Day-Lewis
spent time in a Dublin clinic studying
how children with cerebral, palsy
coped with their handicaps.

“It became very important to me
that it didn’t become a film about a
supposedly able-bodied actor taking
on the physical manifestations of this
supposedly disabled man,"’ the actor

says. ‘‘That seemed to me of secon-
dary importagee."’
Morgan Freeman, who won an

Dead Poets Society provided an
ideal vehicle for Robin Williams,

actor with his vicious pimp in Street
Smart, plays a far different role in
Driving Miss Daisy. He is the patient,
understanding chauffeur for a can-
tankerous Southern Jewish woman,
Jessica Tandy. Freeman, who spent
his early years in Greenwood, Miss.,
had no tfouble understanding the role
of a black man in the postwar South.

“Having grown up in the South, I
knew this man,”’ he said. ‘I don’t
think of him as being ‘subservient.’
You live in a certain society, and that
society has rules, and you abide by
them: You can always do that with a
certain amount of dignity.’*

Fot Kenneth Branagh, having
played Henry V in the theatre was a
distinct advantage. He directed as
well as starred in the film version.

“Since I had already played the
role with the Royal Shakespeare
Company,’’ says the Belfast-born
Branagh, ‘‘it was in.the blood. When

by director Peter Weir.

“The first draft had the whole
thing where Keating was dying of
cancer and that’s why he was coming
back and doing one last good deed
before he died,’’ the actor said in an
interview. ‘It would be real
melodramatic that way, like ‘Love
Story.’ It was too much. Let's focus
on the boys, let’s make their story
stronger. And (Weir) did just that.

“*It’s not about one man against the
system . . . It’s about one man coming
with some ideas and boys taking them
and going off in every direction."”

Williams’ suggestion cut down his
role to what some actors would con-
sider a supporting part. But the im-
pact of his personality was strong
enough to prompt academy voters fo
give him a second nomination as best
actor. His first was the Good Mor-
ning, Vietnam in 1987.

Station gets new fir beam

By JOHN CHARTERS

The baggage room post is gone!

It Was an architectural eyesore in-
stalled in the Castlegar Rail Station to
support the baggage-room ceiling
beam after the building was moved
and has been an object of bitter
debate for the past two years.

Last week it was replaced in a long
and carefully planned, but swiftly
executed, cooperative operation in-
volving several local businesses and
several station craftsmen. The beam
was Custom cut. by Kalesnikoff Lum-
ber Co. from first-growth fir and
measures 16 feet, 10 inches by 16 in-
ches. It was then donated to the
station by Ken Kalesnikoff and
delivered free byy Terry Ackney of
Mitchell Supply Ltd.

Scottie Tait of Scotties Marina lent
a number of planks to reinforce the
baggage room floor. The beam was
then brought into the baggage room
on rollers by. the Castlegar and
District Development Board crew un-
der the supervision of Dick McLeod.

Arrow Builders lent a forklift and
operator Gino Maida who lifted the
1,000-pound beam into place. In a
combined operation involving the
skills of restoration superintendent
McLeod and craftsmen Karl Koreen
and Gordie Hill, the old post-and-
beam was removed and the new one
fitted into place. Hill and Koreen are
completing the job by facing the beam
with tongue-and-groove boards cut
earlier by Selkirk Cedar and Lumber
Co. to match the rest of the baggage
room. The new beam not only more
than satisfies the requirements of the
building code, it is an esthetigally at-
tractive and valid piece of restoration.

IN PLACE . . . a worker at the Castlegar Rail Station eyes the new fir beam installed
to replace a post in the baggage room.

It is also an outstanding example of
a local cooperative endeavor and the
Castlegar and District Heritage
Society, extends its grateful thanks to

al of those who made it possible.

The only expense to the society for
4what could have been a very costly
Project was the $30 paid to the gover-

nment for the licence to operate the

forklift over the highway between

Arrow Builders and the station.
