Headly

starting

to be noticed

NEW YORK (AP) — When
Glenne Headly started audi-
tioning for movies, she was
told she looked “too soft and
sort of dazed” and her voice
was too high.

But that was before she
appeared off-Broadway as
the good friend of a would-be
rape victim in Extremities,
as the iey Celia in Chris
topher Hampton's The Phil

ypist, and as a hard

boiled hooker in a revival of
Lanford Wilson's Balm in
Gilead.

Now people are beginning
to notice the shy, fragile-
looking young woman with
curly blond hair, the latest
member of Chicago's Step-
penwolf theatre company to
shine in New York.

Headly, currently appear.

making her Broadway debut
in a revival of George Ber-
nard Shaw's comedy Arms
and the Man, directed by her
husband John Malkovich.
And her name is above the
title with her better known
co-stars, Kevin Kline and
Raul Julia.

It was Malkovich, along
with Gary Sinise, one of
Steppenwolf's founders, who
first made the Chicago
troupe known in New York.
They starred off-Broadway in
October 1982 in a Step-
penwolf revival of Sam Shep
ard’s True West, which was
also directed by Sinise. Three
other critically acclaimed
Steppenwolf productions
have followed, including the
recently opened Orphans.

COMPANY IS 10

Steppenwolf began in 1975
in the basement of a Catholic
high school in the Chicago
suburb of Highland Park.
Many of its 10 founding
members came out of Illinois
State University, but Headly
didn't.

She grew up in New York
and graduated from the High
School of the Performing
Arts. She went to college in
Switzerland.

Headly had first seen Chi-
cago during a visit with an
old boyfriend to meet his
parents.

At that time, Chicago the-
atre was beginning to flour.

THE THREE PHASES OF EVE

Arden finishes book

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Eve Arden, the sly
wisecracker of TV's Our Miss Brooks and countless movies,
calls her autobiography The Three Phases of Eve.

“And this is my fourth phase,” she said as she continues
her career without her husband of 35 years, Brooks West.
He died Feb. 7, 1984,-at the age of 67.

They had been together almost constantly, co-starring
throughout the country in plays and musicals. During a rare
separation a year and a half ago, she was in New York to
appear in The Purple Rose of Cairo for Woody Allen, a
longtime Eve Arden fan and received news from California
that West was in a coma after suffering a stroke.

Arden dropped out of the Allen movie and hurried to
her husband's bedside. For months afterward she could not
reconcile herself to his death.

“Brooks had given me the title for my book,” she
remarked. “He had been a great help while I was writing it.
He and I used to drive up to see friends in Berkeley.

“He wouldn't let me drive, so on the way up I wrote a
chapter. When we drove back, I read it to him. He made

“On the first day of rehearsal, all of the actresses sat around
a table for the reading of the script — all except Hepburn,
who was sitting on a ladder. Some of the lines weren't
assigned to anyone, and when no one else volunteered, I took

the first one:

“I got a laugh. Then I took another line nobody wanted.

I got another laugh. Tha’

when Hepburn said, ‘Oh, she's

the one to look out for, girls!”
Stage Door set the pattern for Eve Arden’s film career.
USES HUMOR

Usually she was the best friend of the heroine,
brightening the dramatics with her deadpan humor. Her
most memorable role came as Joan Crawford's pal in
Mildred Pierce, which won an Academy Award nomination
as supporting actress.

Most people remember Eve Arden from Our Miss
Brooks, which she played for five years on radio and then
four on television in 1952-56. She was everybody's dream of
a high school English teacher, whose wisecracks belied a
warm heart.

“I found it impossible to write anything after he died.
He had loved life so much and had always been in the best of
health; I couldn't imagine that he was gone. It was eight
months before I could write the last chapter.”

Sorrow tinged her conversation as the 73-year-old
actress discussed her marriage and her long, busy career.
She also enumerated the “three phases of Eve.”
DIVIDES HER LIFE

The first is her life in the theatre, films and television.
The second, her role as mother of four on a sprawling ranch
in the San Fernando Valley.

The third, her travels to Europe with West and the
children.

In her latest phase, she has returned to acting, making
recent appearances in Steven Spielberg's new TV series,

She followed with The Eve Arden Show, which lasted
only a season, then The Mothers-in-Law with Kaye Ballard

in 1967-69.

Though Arden was praised for one of her rare serious
roles in The Dark at the Top of the Stairs in 1962, she has

never yearned for more.

“I love making people laugh,” she said.

praised by reviewers. RKO brought her to Hollywood in
1937 for Stage Door, starring Katharine Hepburn, Ginger
Rogers and Lucille Ball.

“I had a very small role in the pictures,” she recalled.

COMMUNITY NEWS

Spending a
weekend at
EXPO '86

By ADRIAN CHAMBERLAIN
Stall Writer

The editor looked up from his battered typewriter, and
looked me in the eye.

“Chamberlain,” he said.

“Yeah?” I said.

“We want you to cover a preview of Expo 86 this
weekend. It means two free nights at the Hyatt-Regency in
Vancouver, a tour of Expo Centre, free food, and a ride on
the new ALRT transit system.”

The editor rubbed his jaw, and then grimaced slightly.

“Oh yeah. All drinks are on the house. Courtesy of
Expo. Are you up to it?”

I sat back at my desk gnawing on a pencil; thoughtful.
It's a dirty job, I mused, but somebody's got to do it.

*“ 6 «

8 P.M. May 12 — A reception for a handful of journalists

from community B.C. newspapers and a number of

for the province's ity Expo i is

held on the 34th floor of the Hyatt Regency Hotel — one of
Vancouver's most expensive.

Everyone is given their first Expo 86 information
package, along with name tags. The information is in a slick,
expensive paper folder — one of three given out during the
weekend.

ANALYSIS

I join others walking briskly to tables where red and
white wine, crackers and imported cheese are being dished
out. I chat with community volunteers about Expo, wine and
cheese, and the great view from the 34th floor of the Hyatt
Regency. There seem to be a lot of toastmasters in the

d.

7:30 P.M. May 13 — Three buses transport our group of

It j lists and ity Expo it
volunteers for breakfast in B.C. Place Stadium. There's
about 1,000 people there — including Premier Bill Bennett,
Tourism Minister Claude Richmond, Expo chairman Jim
Pattison and Minister of Human Resource Grace McCarthy.
I find myself sitting with five toastmasters.

Bennett begins by saying how impressed a crowd of 150
international journalists invited down for the opening of
Expo Centre the week before were. “Words like amazing,
overwhelming, fascinating, were some of the words that
were the order of the day,” says Bennett.

He announces the “Expo Legacy Committee.” This
means communities throughout B.C. can apply to receive a
free Expo pavilion — there's 40 all told — once the fair is
over.

Communities will be responsible for shipping and other
costs, but the government will consider cost-sharing for
successful applicants. Bennett says practical uses for the
pavilions include recreation and cultural centres, community
theatres, warehouses, offices and indoor markets.

The point is, the rest of B.C. isn't being left out.

“Expo 86 belongs to all British Columbians,” he says.
“We want our world exposition to live on, not just on the
Lower but in our ities in the length and
breadth of our province.”

Bennett's voice echoes weirdly against the walls and
empty stands of the stadium. Everyone is munching on eggs,
fried potatoes and bacon.

, and you get to see the
backyards of some of the poorer homes in the Vancouver/
Burnaby area.

11:30 A.M. May 13 — A Tour through the 17-storey
geodesic dome calleed Expo Centre — which is genuinely
impressive. The highlight is the giant semi-circular Omnimax
movie screen, which provides an image nine times larger
than that of a conventional movie screen.

We are shown the Expo film, A Freedom to Move. This
20-minute short stresses Omnimax's strength, which is
giving the illusion you're right there with the moving
objects. Space shuttles appear to blast off above our heads,
we glide along with hand-gliders, join a high-speed car chase.

Someone jokes that Bennett may be in danger of having
all the free breakfasts given out that morning returned.

12:30 P.M. May 13 — Back to the Hyatt Regency
ballroom for asparagus soup, chicken roll-up things,‘and an
unidentifiable vegetable. I'm sitting with two toastmasters,
and two members of the B.C. Folk Society. The two
toastmasters look at the unidentifiable vegetable suspi
ciously.

All 700 of us are treated to Expo presentations for four
hours, including lots of lavish, slick audio-visual shows.

The numbers given out are unarguably impressive.
During Expo's run — May 2 to Oct. 13 — 15 million people
will visit and spend $283 million. The boost to B.C.’s
economy is estimated at $3 billion. Sixty-three thousand
British C i will get the equival of one year’s
full-time work as a result of Expo. The average stay at Expo
will be 3.5 days, with visitors spending 11 days touring the
province on the average.

As the afternoon wears on, the atmosphere among the
speakers and the audience — mostly Expo committee
volunteers — becomes a little intense; even feverish.
Speaker after speaker applauds audience members for doing
their part for Expo, which everyone agrees is going to be the
best thing to hit B.C. since the Terry Fox Memorial.

Maire Shaw, public affairs manager for Expo, calls up
her crew of three volunteers to the stage for an emotional
group hug. Startled, I glance around the audience, worried
that we might be expected to do the same. Luckily, no.

Later in the afternoon, Chilliwack makes its Expo
committee presentation. Twenty young graduates from the
municipality's special Expo hospitality course do a lively
song and dance number, accompanied by a dance-band.
Dressed in white sweat-shirts and trousers, they sing verses
that are unintelligible, but the word “Expo” pops out
occasionally.
