NEW YORK~(REUTER — The ghost of Marilyn Monroe is haunting America as a British reporter challenges almost every known fact of her death 23 years ago and stirs a debate about a cover-up, the Mafia and the morals of John and Robert Kennedy. ‘American newspapers and magazines are filled these days with the sweeping conclusions reached by ex-BBC reporter Anthony Summers after three years. of research and interviews with 600 people from ambulance drivers to housemaids to friends of the late movie star. One of Summers’ informants even claimed to have paraded naked on a California beach with Marilyn and Robert Kennedy, with Marilyn wearing a wig and Kennedy a facial disguise. A major U.S. television network, ABC, finds itself in turmoil after abruptly cancelling a show based in good part on Summers’ work and Los Angeles officials are demanding an investigation to verify the details he revealed about her death. On Friday, the BBC will broadcast a Summers written yy that is d to fuel the controversy. Summers said he never expected he would be the one to reveal that Monroe conducted affairs with John Kennedy when he was president and then had an affair with his brother, Robert, and that Robert Kennedy was at her apartment to break off his affair on the day of her suicide at age 36 on Aug. 4, 1962. Nor, he says, did he expect to discover information about attempts by Mafia figures and the corrupt former Teamster union leader Jimmy Hoffa to wiretap her home to gain material they could use to- blackmail the Kennedys. TRACES GOSSIP “] had heard all the gossip about Marilyn and the Kennedy brothers and when I started this project, I thought here was the ultimate example of the power of gossip because people just accepted it. Then I found out it was true,” he said in a recent interview. “I found a number of witnesses who had no cause to smear the Kennedys who place them with her. I also had access to notes taken by her psychiatrist referring to affairs with senior political figures and to the original notes and reports of the suicide prevention team which investigated her death.” He also-had interviews with two ex-wives of former Kennedy brother-in-law Peter Lawford. Summers says the late British actor was a key figure in setting up the Kennedy affairs and allegedly received Monroe's last phone call and then searched her home to remove evidence of her relations with the president and his brother, then U.S. attorney general. The reporter charges that Los Angeles officials covered up details of Monroe's death and that the police report on her death disappeared, probably winding up in Washington where Robert Kennedy had it destroyed. PLANT BUGS But he says, the most important part of his story is “the discovery from first-hand witnesses that criminals were watching the Kennedys during their affairs. with Monroe and in particular . . . Hoffa commissioned wire- tapping and the planting of electronic listening devices in Monroe's East and West coast homes and in the home of Peter Lawford.” Robert Kennedy and Hoffa were implacable foes and it was Kennedy as staff attorney for a Senate investi- gating committee who discovered evidence that led to Hoffa's jailing. Summers thinks the Kennedys had to dump Monroe because she had become a political risk. He says there is —-ARTS= Calendar 10:30 - eon Sat. £ .

Award-winning actor Sir Alec Guinness wrote in his new autobiography that he suffers “nightmares of in- adequacy,” but the British media have warmly applaud- ed both the actor and his memoirs. “Novelist Anthony Burgess hailed the- 225-page auto- biography, Blessings In D guise; as “a marvellous Guin- ness record... of a great period in the British the- atre.” He and other reviewers made special note of Gui ness’ modesty and readiness to praise fellow actors. In the foreword to his book, the 71-year-old Guin- ness wrote of himself: “He is well aware he is not in the same class as (Sir Laurence) Olivier, (Sir Ralph) Richard- son, (Sir John) Gielgud, or the other greats.” Blessings In Disguise was published recently in Britain by Hamish Hamilton and is to be published in the United States by Alfred A. Knopf Inc. next June. In his book, Guinness des- cribed. Gielgud, 81, as a “superb actor” who refuses “to show off his ability ‘against third-rate talent.” ‘The two first met in 1934, when Gielgud was on a panel of judges that awarded a volume of Shakespeare's works to Guinness, then a student at London's Fay Compton School of Dramatic “Art. = Guinness went on to ap- pear with Gielgud, often un- der his direction, in Chek- hov's The Seagull, Shakes- peare’s Romeo and Juliet and Andre Obey’s Noah. Guin- ness met his future wife, Merula Salaman, in the latter production. Richardson, who died in 1983, is remembered as a compelling actor who -once received Guinness in his hotel suite by punching him in the jaw during the filming of David Lean’s Dr. Zhivago. “It wasn't typical of him (Richardson) to welcome guests in that way, but it isa fair example of how unpre- dictable such a steady, kind- ly, and courteous man could be if the mood seized him,” Guinness recalled. Lean, who has directed Guinness in six films from Great Expectations in 1946 to A Passage To India in 1984, was described as “a man of genius cocooned with out- rageous charm.” Lean directed Guinness in his Academy Award-winning role as the strong-willed Col. Nicolson in the 1957 film The Bridge on the River Kwai. Guinness was knighted by Queen Elizabeth in 1959 and received an honorary Aca- demy Award in 1979 for the bulk of his work.

That’s what I'm supposed to do. I'm an actor. putting it together. The Po- lish’ dialect is not like any other dialect. You don't lose it in time. You improve your use of articles and verb tense. And I had to do it out of time sequence.” .Kane and Abel, which spans six decades of the 20th century, was filmed in Tor- onto, New York and France. The contrast between the two miniseries and the two It’s my ibility to shift like that. When I was young- er I did repertory theatre. You changed characters all the time.” Strauss spent seven +months in France and Swit- zerland working on Tender Is the Night as the phlegmatic Dick Diver. He stars in this British adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel about a psychiatrist who marries a mentally unstable woman af- ter the First World War. “When I finished, I had just 10 days to get that Polish accent for Kane and Abel,” he recalls. “I had a Polish musician badger me.

Kane and Abel gallops at a fast clip. It's grab hold and hang on. And Strauss’ Abel is as lively and driving as Diver is stoic and withdrawn. CBC-TV will show the six-hour Tender Is the Night in four parts, beginning Sun- day night and ending in late November. It also stars Mary Steenburgen,-as Nicole, John Heard and Sean Young. CBS and CTV. will telecast the seven-hour Kane and Abel in three parts on Nov. 17, 18 and-19. Sam Neill plays Kane NBC back in first place NEW YORK (AP) — Ser- ies, sports and sexy movies led NBC to another weekly ratings victory and gave the U.S. television network its, largest lead ever after’ the first month of any prime-time season. After a second-place finish in the third week of the sea- son because. NBC's early baseball playoff games. per- formed worse than NBC's entertainment series had been doing, the network bounced back with its high- est-rated week of the season, according to figures released Tuesday by the A.C. Nielsen Co. NBC averaged a 19.4 ra- ting-for the week of Oct. 14-20 to CBS's 16.6 and ABC's 16.3, which included the first two World Series games. Game 1 ‘on Saturday had a 22.1 rating, the lowest opening-game prime-time re- sult ever. The previous low was a 27.7 last year. After four weeks, NBC's average rating is 18.5 to CBS's 17.1 and ABC's 15.0. A rating measures the percen- tage of the country’s 85.9 million TV homes. NBC had eight of the Top 15 shows, including the four World Series games. As it has done all season long, NBC’s The Cosby Show easily topped the ratings chart with a 31.1 rating and 49 share (percentage of sets in use), its highest share ever. Its follow-up program, Family Ties, was second with a 28.1. CBS's Murder, She Wrote was third with a 23.8, beating the second game of the World Series on ABC and and the all-star cast includes Veronica Hamel. “It was very interesting to see how one country inter- prets another's literature,” says Strauss, referring to the BBC version of Tender Is the Night. “I want the show to be successful. The English made an English approach to Fitz- gerald. British viewers loved it. I don’t want to go on rec- ord saying I don't - like it. Let's just say. the pacing is not Miami Vice. “It’s as good as anything I've done. But it’s very diffi- cult to bring Fitzgerald to the screen. It’s a very sad work. No one is going to turn off Miami Vice to watch Tender Is the Night.” “My feeling is that the people who want to see Fitz- gerald will watch it. It's not American style, but it is an extremely romantic story.” NOT FUN About Kane and Abel, ‘Strauss says “I'm not one of those people who find making pictures fun. You would have thought Abel would be a fun part, but toward the end he goes through some very emotional times. I can’t shut myself off from that. But I will say that working with director Buzz Kulik was wonderful and I'd work with him again. I can't say that about BBC.” Besides learning a Polish accent, Strauss also had to learn to be a waiter for scenes early in the miniser- ies. “I'm the worst waiter in the world,” he says. “I: train- ed at La C i at the Tow (Point | Hote tlintitiititilt Grown mel SIT THE C.P. rue OrEN IL 12 NOON -2 A.M.

I want- ‘ed to train well enough so that when I came through the door people would say this is not an ordinary waiter. Do you know why waiter’s pants have a back pocket? To put the tip they cut from a cigar.” - Strauss says he was put through rigorous training and that director Kulik had no mercy on him, either. “I served salads all day,” he says. “They're very heavy and your hand goes dead. A good waiter has to have a sense of timing. He should never interrupt a. joke. My father was a waiter when he first came to America. There's a picture of him in tails and he looks: just like me. I want to go’on record that I'm one actor who wasn't a waiter.
