ae Castlegar News January 13, 1985" ENTERTAINMENT LOS ANGELES (AP) — Acting can be a punishing e game. Take it from John Hurt, who has endured more punishment than a pro football linebacker. Take the English actor's role in Nineteen Eighty-four, his latest bid for Oscar recognition. He is beaten, whipped, tortured on the rack and attacked by ravenous rats. Last year he was seen in Champions as a steeplechase jockey stricken with cancer, emaciated and bald. Then there was The Elephant Man. “The makeup took seven hours, from 5 a.m. until noon,” Hurt recalled. “We shot the film from noon until 10:30 at night. I did this routine every other day, 24 to 26 makeups.” John Hurt is fiercely dedicated to his craft. For more stardom and wealth, as Hurt freely admits. He continues to make his home in England, despite tax and career advantages elsewhere. Said Hurt, 44: “People have often counselled me: ‘John, if you really want your career to blossom, you must come and live in Hollywood.’ “That may have been true for English actors in the 1930s, but I'm not,sure it applies now. I like it here and I have a lot of friends in California. But I think it might be to come here DRAWS ATTENTION Hurt, who looks less severe in person than on the screen, was in Los Angeles to help draw attention to Eighty-four during its one-week run to qualify for than two decades he has p a series of performances on the London and New York stage (Inad- missible Evidence, Man and Superman), in films (A Man for All Seasons, Heaven's Gate) and on television (I, Claudius, The Naked Civil Servant): Dedication does not necessarily lead to international Academy consideration. The film broke the house record at the UA Raroten ja Surprisingly, the two actors had never met until 18 months ago, when Hurt was filming The Osterman Weekend in Los Angeles. “We had dinner together and hit it off immediately,” he said. “He was very complimentary and he had seen some of the more esoteric films I had done, like Forbush and the Penguins. We declared then that we would like to work together on film or in theatre. Neither of us knew it would happen so soon.” Nineteen Eighty-four had a curious history. Producer Simon Perry acquired rights to the George Orwell classic in late 1983 and assigned Michael Bradford to write and direct on a hurried schedule. Obviously the film needed to be released during 1984. “There was a sense of urgency during the filming,” Hurt “But we weren't pushed to the limit. We shot for and drew Hurt’ 's powerful performance as well as for Richard Burton's 's role in his last feature film. Videos too violent By E.A. VARE The National Coalition on Television Violence has re- leased another study of vio- lence in music video clips. They have gone on record to criticize Warner Com- munications and CBS as being “by far the leading producers of violent music videos.” Out of the 900 videos the NCTV monitored during a year, they say that Warner was responsible for 20 per cent of the most vielont - forst, while CBS d CARS, WEIRD AL work, is currently program- ming six hours a day, but says that responses to the channel has been so good that they plan to soon increase to 12 hours a day. The channel also plans to put a French-language sub- sidiary on the air, primarily for viewers in Quebec, which will broadcast a mix of Eng- lish and French clips with French announcers. Lionel Richie again hosts Dick Clark's “American Mu- sic Awards,” a glitzy alter- native to the Grammys, which airs Jan. 28 on ABC. This is the first time the show goes to a three-hour length. The number of awards has been increased from 18 to 27 to accommodate new video categories. Few videos by tiny inde- pendent labels based in STREET HAWK ON ABC per cent of the baddies. However, the Coalition's definition of “violence” doesn't limit itself to your basic Billy Idol or Scorpions (neither of whom happen to be on Warner or CBS). They cited the Cars’ award-win- ning “You Might Think” for its cartoon portrayal of a King Kong monster; Weird Al Yankovie's “Eat It” for a parody of gang fighting; even Jump 'n the Saddi “Curly Shuffle” for using footage of old Three Stooges ‘shorts. The NCTV did find some- thing to recommend, how- ever. They named U2, Donna Summer, Missing Persons, the Clash, Red Rockers and Black Uhuru as examples of artists using video to bring a “message of peace and under standing” to viewers. . .

It’s the two-wheeled answer to the thinking man's car on Knight Rider.

Smith is probably best known for his Broadway and film role of Frederick in Pir- ates of Penzance. He has also played Danny Zuko in York. In New York you can always find a place to park a motorcycle.

Some are built just for crash- ing, some just for jumping and some just for street work. Smith said he was re- hearsing Human Comedy for Broadway last year when he agreed to do the pilot for Street Hawk. Despite the fact that the series was pulled off the fall schedule, they kept on film- ing episodes until 12 shows plus the pilot were made. Jackson in movie? By E.A.

The car was being driven by Motley Crue's Vince Neil, who was arrested for invol- untary manslaughter. It's a chilling commentary on both bands’ “live fast, die young” philosophies.

In 1962, he made his stage debut in The House of Fred Ginger and his film debut in The Wild and the Willing. “For the past 22 years I've been able to make a living from no other work but acting,” be said. “It has been a reasonable living, nothing more than that; most of my films have been low-budget.

CosNewsPhoto NEW YORK (AP) — At 73, Vincent Price — The Merchant of Malice — has found a new generation of fans because of his monologue on Michael Jackson's hit song, Thriller, and the film festivals and late-night TV broadcasts featuring his old horror flicks. “You really feel ancient when they start showing retrospectives of your work,” said Price. “That, and when you're in a wax museum. It all makes you feel as if you've been buried.” Back from the coffin, Price's career received a boost from the spooky verse he performed on Thriller. All it took was one day to tape his rap, and now kids are turning up at his lectures, where he performs a campy version of Jackson's trademark dance, the “I'm finally famous,” he told the newletter for his alma mater, Yale University. Price, the suave host of public television's Mystery! series, is also friendly with other rock stars, including Alice Cooper and members of the group Kiss. “They work late and get to see many of my movies on the telly,” he said. It was Price's work in Cooper's music video, to My iz ‘e, that i d Jackson's producer, Quincy Jones. “I think I might be the only one left who is identified with that kind of title,” Price said. About the enigmatic Jackson, Price said: “He couldn't be more adorable. I really don’t know him very well. But he did send me a platinum album.” It might surprise some that Price was born and raised in St. Louis, Mo. Even as a kid he had a distinctive voice. His deep resonance gained a continental flavor when he was a young art student inEngland. “To me, I sound like everybody else in Missouri,” said Price. “I think I sound just like Harry Truman.” Price a reborn hit Price has appeared in more than 100 films, the bulk of them straight dramatic roles (Laura, The Three Musketeers). He says his career direction took a turn toward the bizarre when actors like “James Dean and Marlon Brando came along and stopped speaking English.” His serious films and musical sojourns aside, Price's legacy will always be his horror movies, including The Pit and the Pendulum, The House of Wax and the spoofy Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein and Dr. Goldfoot and the Sex Machine. “[m not the least bit disappointed remembered primarily for my horror roles,” NOT SCARY Price poy ssaty of today’ 's horror that I'm he said. films are r sex and gore for the good old- huablousd & surprises and shockers. “The old ones had a sense of humor. They had a sense of the ridiculous,” he said. Price said the public has become desensitized and immune to violence, but it still appreciates a good BOO! now and then. “I saw one new film that had this grossly violent scene and nobody moved,” he said. “Then the film used one of the oldest tricks somebody walked out of the shadows at just the right moment and everybody jumped out of their seats.” Mystery! is more faithful to the old classics, and that’s why Price thinks viewers are so loyal to this clever, well-crafted series. In April, TV audiences can see Price as Sir Desfard Murgatroyd in Gilbert and Sullivan's Ruddigore. A gourmet chef with two cookbooks for the American Dairy Association and other products.

He said the price of the calendars, featuring Zucker. berg Island, will be reduced by 50 per cent to $3 each. A decision to reduce the price was made at a directors’ meeting. Moroso said that the re- maining calendars represent the profit to be made. “We have broken even at this moment,” he said.
