FIELD EARNS

GRUDGING RESPECT

By BOB THOMAS

BURBANK, CALIF, (AP) — There is, Sally Field admits, a lot of Scarlett O'Hara in her.

Not that she is possessive, fickle or vindictive. But she often harks back to the gospel according to Scarlett: “I'll think about it tomorrow.”

That philosophy has helped Field survive 20 busy years in Hollywood, getting her through the years when she was known as Gidget or the Flying Nun or Burt Reynolds's girlfriend.

Only with her Oscar-winning Norma Rae did she gain some grudging reapect And when she collected her second Academy Award for Places in the Heart last year, the scoffers cited her effusive speech: “You like me! You really like mbt”

She “Brigtles slightly when the Oscar speech is mentioned. \

“Yes, I know it offered a lot of material for people to play with,” she said. “I have no regrets. What I said is

lutely what I am. If I offended anyone by being honest, straightforward and emotional, I can't help it. I can’t turn away and cloak my feelings at a moment like that. Some people can play cool. I just can’t fake it.”

Even with the awards, she still gets knocks from critics who deride her famous spunk.

‘IGET HURT

“Sure, I get hurt feelings. I say, ‘Ouch — go away!" But you know something?Bad reviews hurt for a moment, but you don't remember them.”

Field was reflecting on her life and career in the office she occupies just inside the gate at the Burbank Studios. It is

modest by Hollywood standards and strewn with the envelopes and cards presenters used for her two Oscars; posters of Places in the Heart and her latest movie, Murphy’s Romance; a bulletin board cluttered with future projects (she has five films in development); a Norman Il painting of a pi is as she holds a fan magazine photo of a movie star.

“That's me, I guess,” Field said, “living in a dream world and playing dress-up, which is, I suppose, what I do for a living.”

She was dressed casually — heavy-weave wool sweater, jeans, black-mesh high running shoes. But her attitude seemed businesslike, befitting her new role as head of her own production company, Fogwood Films.

Murphy's Romance is Fogwood's first movie. It reunited Field with her Norma Rae director, Martin Ritt, and its co-star is James Garner.

ROLES NOTABLE

Her most notable roles have been as a small-town factory worker and a farm widow during the Depression. In Murphy's Romance, she's a divorcee struggling to herself and her son on a horse-boarding ranch.

“T'm not a big-city kid. There is no aura of sophistication about me. I can't convey that well-bred, old-money kind of feeling. It's more of a rural, get-out-and-do-it-yourself feeling. Maybe that's because I grew up in the San Fernando Valley when it was all orange and walnut groves with horses everywhere.”

She was born in Pasadena, Calif., 39 years ago. Acting seemed inevitable, since her mother was a Paramount contract player, Margaret Field, and her stepfather was Jock Mahoney, television's Range Rider and later a screen Tarzan. She started acting three weeks before her 18th birthday.

Enrolled in Columbia's acting workshop, she was chosen for the TV version of Gidget, then The Flying Nun. The latter haunted her until 1973, when she electrified TV audiences as the split-personality Sybil. An Emmy award for that pertenpal helped win her better roles.

“There are certain things you learn if you stay around the business long enough,” Field said.

British Columbia, Alberta and several other provinces also have programs where a counsellor will try to help people dig themselves out of their debts on their own if he thinks they can do it.

“The counsellor acts as a kind of mediator, making arrangements for the repayment of debts,” says Don Bench, director of Alberta's consumer credit program. “There is no involvement of the courts.”

O'Shea tak

NEW YORK (AP) — Things are not what they seem to be in Corpse! says Milo O'Shea, analyzing the murder mystery laced with laughter that has brought him back to Broadway after a four-year absence.

In 1982, O'Shea played Father Tim Farley, the pragmatic if pleasure-loving Irish priest in Mass Appeal. It was the perfect union of the right actor and the right role, winning cheers for O'Shea from the critics as well as a Tony nomination.

In Corpse! O'Shea feels he has another good part.

He plays Major Ambrose Powell, an incompetent hit man hired to kill the wealthy brother of an unsuccessful actor, portrayed by Keith Baxter.

“There hasn't been anything written like this play before,” says O'Shea.

“People have tried to compare it to Sleuth and Deathtrap but it’s not like them at all,” he adds, referring to two of Broadway's biggest mystery hits. “It’s sort of black comedy, like Joe Orton.”

O'Shea, a dapper gentleman dressed in brown, sits in a theatre district restaurant while discussing the play that has kept him occupied for the last 18 months.

He and Baxter first did Corpse! for eight months in London beginning in July 1984 and then went on a lengthy American tour where the play was refined.

ALLOWS CHANGE

“The playwright, Gerald Moon, is an actor and he's been very generous about revising the seript, within the framework of the play, of course,” O'Shea says. “We have changed it a great deal.

“The London production was a bit blurred in that we didn’t have the comedy and the drama sharply defined. Now I think they are.”

O’Shea’s career has taken many twists and changes that he has weleomed.

“T'm not a conservative actor. I like to take chances,” he says. It's a pattern the 59-year-old O'Shea has followed since he began as a child actor in Dublin.

His father was a singer who appeared in musical revues and operas, his mother a dancer and harpist. O'Shea grew up goihg to the theatre at least once a week.

His father would take him to the Abbey and Gate theatres, the finest in Dublin.

“So it came as no revelation when at 17 I said to my dad ‘I want to be an actor for life.’ He equipped me very well for it,” O'Shea says. O'Shea joined the Gate Theatre and took singing, acting and dancing lessons.

He eventually ended up in London, making his West End debut in 1949 in an Irish comedy called Treasure Hunt, starring Dame Sybil Thorndike and directed by Sir John Gielgud.

es chances

jobs were few and he returned to England.

His break came in 1967

What brought O'Shea to the attention of American audiences was the movie version of James Joyce's Ulysses, which is still being shown on the revivial house and college film club circuits.

His success in Ulysses led in 1968 to Staircase, a play ahead of its time, according to O'Shea. The story of two aging homosexuals, it was later made into a movie starring Richard Burton and Rex Harrison.

Now he moves easily from theatre to movies to television and back again

“Most youpg actors have a very small target.” he says. “They want to be just an actor, a dancer or a singer.

“I remember playing the gravedigger in Hamlet while filming Ulysses during the day. In my next production, I was playing the ugly sister in a pantomime of Cinderella”

Today, he's just as busy

He’s even finished a Duran Duran rock video, which was released in January. O'Shea's relationship with the group goes back to the late 1960s when he appeared in the Jane Fonda film Barbarella.

“I played the mad villain, trying to pleasure her to death,” O'Shea laughs, “and my name was Duran Duran. These boys liked the name and used it for their rock group.”

TORONTO (CP) — It was hard to read the market for trends in a roller-coaster week on the Toronto Stock Exchange.

Even Friday's trading was a mixed bag of trends. The ‘TSE 300 composite index fin- ished the day off 2.15 points to 2,789.81 on volume of 18.8 million shares, cutting the week's losses to 44.15 points. But that represented a re covery from a 16-point drop
