Sonny
‘Ordinary
By DICK KLEINER
HOLLYWOOD —(NEA) —It
was the first day of their very
first movie. And, noticeably and
understandably, Sonny and Cher
were nervous.
‘‘It’s tighten-up time,” Sonny
said.
They had a long scene in the
patio of an outdoor restaurant
Just below Hollywood. There was
a lot of dialogue and they were
both pressing and blew their li
nes a few times. Finally, they
got it right and director William
Friedkin said it was a print.
We sat around a table, during
the lunch break, and I told them
that the scene was one of the
longest single takes I had seen.
They were relieved to hear that,
Dspite their tension, both sm
ilingly signed autographs for
people who wandered by. It was
easy for the passers-by to spot
them; Cher was all in bright red
and Sonny had on tan trousers
and a tan vest and a yellow-and
white shirt with billowing sleev
es. Besides, there was always
their hair.
‘‘We’re not rebels,” Sonny
said. “People think that we are,
because of our hair and the way
we dress. But we’re not. We’re
ordinary people with ordinary
tastes."
Their clothes — Cher designs
them — and their hairdos are,
of course, their trademarks. Son
ny says there was a time when
they tried to conform, to dress
and cut their hair in. more ortho
dox fashion.
“But,” he says, “we were no
place. It wasn’t until we decid
ed to be ourselves, to look like
ourselves, that we really made
it."
They have, obviously, made it
in a great big way. Records, tel
evision, personal appearances
have made them modestly rich.
And now this, their first film.
It’s called “Good Times” and
Sonny said he had a hand in
writing it. In fact, he stayed up
every night for several months
until 4 a.m. working on it.
He is very ambitious. He feels
that, if he plays his cards right,
he and Cher can stay in show

STUDENT RECITAL
The Griffin Music Teachers
Association will present another
student recital on Sunday after
noon, April 17 at 3:30 p.m. in
the Bramblett Building of the

lic is invited to attend.
YOUTH CHOIR
The Decatur Christian Church
Youth Choir of Decatur, direc
ted by Bob Clark, will present a
musical program at the evening
worship service at Damascus
Christian Church on Sunday at
7:30 p.m.
Cher:
People’
business a long time, advancing
and changing over the years.
‘‘We’re not after the quick
buck,” he says. ‘‘If we were, we
could have made a lot of mo
ney, endorsing things. And It
cost us a lot to do this picture—
we could have made a lot more
by doing concerts. But we’re
thinking of the future.”
In many ways, the life Son
ny and Cher lead is a calculated
sacrifice — they have given up
much in this deliberate gamble
aimed at long-range stardom
and a hefty pot of gold someday.
Today, because of their ob
vious identifiability, they have
absolutely no privacy. There is
nowhere they can go — even to
their home in Encino, Calif. —
where they have privacy.
‘‘The kids all know where we
live,” Sonny says. ‘‘They come
by at all hours for autographs.
We don’t mind — kids are char
ming.”
And they have given up all
thoughts of children for a year
or so. They both want a family
eventually, but for the time be
ing, their personal wants are a
lower priority than their plans
for their career.
' “I’m ambitious,”
very Sonny
says. “I never was — until I
met Cher. She crystallized my
ambition. And the funny thing
is — now she isn’t so ambitious
any more."
Cernan To Take
Longest ‘Walk’
In Outer Space
By ALVIN B. WEBB Jr.
United Press International
SPACE CENTER, Houston
(UPI) — Rookie Astronaut Eu
gene A. Cernan will have a
chance to take man’s longest,
deepest “walk” into space dur
ing America’s Gemini 9 orbital
flight planned for next month.
And his cosmic twin, com
mand pilot Thomas P. Stafford,
hopes to set a speed record in
piloting the ship to a “rendez
vous” with another satellite in
the skies.
But the U. S. Space Agency
isn’t doing much talking about
the details of this, potentially
the most ambitious voyage man
has ever taken into space.
The goals of the journey are
itemized in a Gemini 9 prelim
inary flight plan issued within
the agency’s ranks March 4.
But officials at the Manned
Spacecraft Center near Houston
barely admit the documents
even exists.
“We ar e not releasing it,” said
one spokesman. He refused to
explain why, except to say that
“It is only a preliminary flight
plan. It is not complete.”
Launch May 17
The launching of Gemini 9 at
Cape Kennedy, according to in
formed sources, is set for May
17. But here again, one runs in
to a great deal of reluctance to
discuss flight dates.
Most, of not all, of this infor
mation cannot legally be classi
fied. But the Space agency gets
around that dally by declaring
items such as launch dates and
flight plans "in-house” matters
not subject to public release.
A lew details, however, are
available. One is that Cernan,
who moved into the Gemini 9
copilot seat upon the airplane
crash death of Astronaut
Charles A. Bassett n, is sched
uled to take the most daring
“spacewalk” in the history of
orbital flight.
Cernan, if all goes well, will
step out the righthand hatch of
Gemini 9 to saunter around as
a more or less independent
“satellite” of earth for upwards
of two hours 15 minutes. The
current spacewalk record, held
by Gemini 4 copilot Edward H.
White n, is 21 minutes.
