(AP) — Amy Irving heard the news on her mountaintop home near San- ta Fe, N.M., and she was both thrilled and shocked. Her agent called to tell the actress that she had been nominated ‘for an Academy Award for her supporting rote in Yentl. “I couldn't believe it; I honestly didn't expect to be nominated, and I certainly didn’t do anything to prom- ote it,” she said in an in- terview here during a recent visit. “MGM took two trade paper ads, and they embar- rassed me. Since the nomin- ation, my heart has been so alive I've hardly been able to sleep.” Irving admitted with a de- gree of chagrin that she italy rejected the role of tmarries they young student disguised as a ma) played by Barbra Streisand. “I was bullied into Yentl,” Irving recalled. “When I read the script, I didn't recognize much potential in the role. T'm 80 now, and I couldn't see myself playing another sweet young thing. Virgins were a thing of the past for me. I saw no challenge to me as an actress. “My agent was astounded. ‘How dare you turn down a chance to work with Barbra Streisand? he said. ‘At least meet Barbra and let her ex- plain what she's doing.’ Her feelings may have been ¢olored by her only meeting with Streisand. Ir- ving and her then-boyfriend, film-maker Steven Spielberg, visited Streisand at her Mal- uu home. Streisand focused all her attention on Spielberg and couldn't remember Ir- “Now I realize that was evidence of Barbra’s tunnel vision,”, Irving said. “When plained her vision, Irving not only signed on board, she be- came a zealot. She considers Yentl the greatest experi ence of her professional life. She also was surprised that Streisand did not re- ceive Ocscar nominations for directing Yent! and starring was sure she would be recognized in at least one category,” Irving said. “It didn't seem fair. I was only a part of what Barbra created with her enormous talent.” Cable CABLE 10 Access Television Thursday, March 15 5:30—Sign-on. she setoes. in op.something, 4. 5:35—SHSS Report — Fea- ‘she can-think of-nething else: ~ That's part of her greatne: The second Streisand-Ir- ving meeting was more suc- cessful.

All in day's work for company WINNIPEG (CP) — The electronic laughing box went off without warning in the orchestra pit and the piano leg collapsed, but it’s all in a day's work — or a nightly performance — for the Royal Winnipeg Ballet. “Right in the middle of the pas de deux you could hear this (laughter),” master carpenter Doug King re- called of the night some time ago when the ballet was performing in Ottumwa, Iowa. The laughing box, usually used for gags, was stuffed in the purse of the ballet orchestra's cello player. The sound it emitted was just one of many mini-disasters that have struck the ballet over the years. To silence the laughing box, the cellist “took the point of her cello and started stabbing her purse,” says King, who has travelled with the troupe for 17 years. “That was the saitie night the piano leg collapsed and the conductor had toenduct with one hand holding up the piano.” Some of the zany occurances associated with the touring company hardly seem to fit in with the world-wide respect given the ballet, which travels across the globe strutting its stuff. One night, a dancer banged into a sound speaker in the wings off-stage and knocked herself out col night, a dancer was locked in the bathroom during inter- mission; on another occasion, the transport trailer that hauls costumes and sets sank on the lawn of a university. TUTUS AND TOE-SHOES While ballet-goers rarely notice such disasters between the tutus and the toe-shoes, for dancers and crew they are the stuff nightmares, and later laughter, are made of. Soloist Svea Eklof is still chagrined at Wednesday night's performance here of Pas D'Action. Fresh from an 11th-hour rehearsal with choreographer Brian- MacDonald she stepped on stage for her part and danced past a whole section of the humorous ballet. “This is the kind of thing I'll think a year from now (is) funny,” she says. “I really don't know what happened . I was totally convinced I was- fine. “As I came up off the floor, I looked at Martin (Schlaepfer on stage) and he had this look of absolute horror on his face.” It was then that Eklof realized she had another 16 counts of music to fill. Like a trooper, she started inventing. “I just started doing my own stuff and the audience kept laughing so obviously they didn’t notice it,” she said. But an audience in Glace Bay, N.S., couldn't help but notice soloist Patti Caplette’s grand exit at a performance there a few years ago. It was a grand leap into the crowded wings when the stage went dark after the first segment of the dance. “I thought I'd cleared the wall when I caught the speaker right between the eyes,” she said. “I just remember going ‘ahhh.’ That was it, out cold. Meanwhile, the audience could see half of what was going on.” A doctor in the audience went to Caplette’s aid and an ambulance was called. She was later carried down the middle aisle of the theatre on a stretcher. Evelyn Hart, now the ballet’s principal dancer, filled the role. Another night, Friday the 13th in Portland, Ore., the ground in the civie auditorium wasn't shaking because of thunderous applause. A small earthquake, compliments of an eruption from Mt. St. Helens, was the culprit. Oa MILY OUTE at pricesgodcan afford!!!
