Ask Dick Kleiner
Call her Bronx-lace
DEAR DICK: I would like to know why Lawrence Welk
has not celebrated Mother’s Day with a special program
like he used to do. Doesn’t he realize the majority of his
patrons are mostly elderly mothers? I do feel he owes them
that much recognition one day a year.—GLADYS
JOHANNES, Bellflower, Calif.
I'm sure Mr. Welk is very pro-mother, but the problem is
bis program now is syndicated. That means it’s part of a
package sold to various stations for them to put on the air
when they choose. It is impossible to produce one show
designed to be played on a certain date or even in a certain
week. The show you see today may not show up someplace
else for six months.
DEAR DICK: Could you please tell me what happened to
John Gavin. Has he made any movies recently? —B.H.
Muncy, Pa.
Gavin has been pretty occupied, the last few years, as
president of the Screen Actors Guild, virtually a full-time
job. He recently was defeated for reelection by Dennis
Weaver. Look for him to resume his acting career pretty
soon.
DEAR DICK: 1 am confused about the technique of mak
ing TV shows. Do the actors memorize the script or do they
read the dialogue by means of cards or prompters of some
kind? — E.C. SMYLY, Mobile, Ala.
Ninety-nine per cent of the speeches you see on TV are
memorized. The actors have ample time between scenes to
do that. Most scenes are shot in relatively short takes. Once
in a while, an actor with a long speech — such as a summa
tion before a court — will use some mechanical means of
reading the words. On the old Perry Mason show, Raymond
Burr did that very often. But today most dialogue is
memorized.
DEAR DICK: What effect, if any, will the divorce of Son
ny and Cher have on their current show? I like it and
would hate to see it go off the air. —BARBIE DANIELS,
Williamsport, Pa.
It will almost inevitably go off the air. The network has
toyed with some ideas — almost like grasping at straws —
for ways to keep it on. (One suggestion: an hour in which
Sonny would have half and Cher halil It's still too early to
say for sure but there would seem to be no way of salvaging
it.
DEAR DICK: I would like to know if that is Cher’s real
hair, or a wig? —MRS. EARL FISHER, New Orleans, La.
A little of both. Most of the time what you see is all Cher.
Once in a while she adds a Call or, from time to time, a full
wig. But usually that’s her own hair.
DEAR DICK: I hope you can tell me if Gilligan’s Island
will ever come back on. If it will, when will it? —EDDIE
WELLS, Monroeville, Ala.
The show will never come back, with any new episodes.
The old show is still being sold for reruns and it may turn up
on your local channel again someday. You'd have to ask
vour local station more about that. But it’s dead as far as
any more shows being shot and there aren’t many who
would have it otherwise.
DEAR DICK: Concerning the March J, 1974, showing of
“Swan Song" on Mystery Movie, with Columbo and John
ny Cash — was that based on an actual case? — L.K.C.,
Moss Point, Miss.
No, that was strictly a work of fiction.
By Dick Kleiner
DEAR DICK: I have relatives in Ferriday, La., who have
known Jerry Lee Lewis since way back when. Practically
the whole town of Ferriday say that Linda Lovelace is Jer
ry Lee’s sister. It sounds so far out but is it really true? —
MRS. 5.8. K., Houma, La.
No way. Linda, the porno princess, comes from The Bronx,
(she grew up in Yonkers) where her father was a New York
city cop. If she has been in Ferriday, La., it’s only been in her
dreams which are probably pretty exotic, at that.
DEAR DICK: Please tell us if “Boy" in the old Tarzan
movies, with Johnny Weissmuller, is the same person as
James MacArthur on Hawaii Five-O.— 0.H., Mobile, Ala.
No, these are two different people although there certainly
is a resemblance. MacArthur has always been MacArthur,
and Boy was played by a young actor named Johnny
Sheffield.
DEAR DICK: On a TV game show not long ago, the ques
tion was asked by the host, “Yes or no — was Douglas Fair
banks Jr. the son of Douglas Fairbanks Sr.?” The answer
given was yes. The host of the show said it should have been
no. I’d like to know the truth — was Fairbanks Jr. the son of
Fairbanks Sr.?— L. BAGGETT, Blytheville, Ark.
The answer should have been yes. The two Fairbankses
were definitely related by fathership. Doug Sr. was Doug
Jr.’s daddy and the resemblance is so striking I wonder that
anybody questions it.
DEAR DICK: Can you please tell me if the heavyweight
wrestling on TV is a put on? I’m really wondering. — L. 8.,
Montoursville, Pa.
Those guys are finely trained actors, as well as finely
trained athletes. It’s all done according to a rough script but
they sort of improvise as they go along. The blood is real and
so are the bruises, but it’s really a show, not a sporting event.
DEAR DICK: Where is Chastity Bono going to live when
Sonny and Cher get divorced? — PAMELA BONGMA,
Brockville, Ont., Canada.
She’ll stay with her mother, wherever Cher goes. In most
divorces, the mother gets custody of the child, and there is no
reason to believe Sonny will contest that right in this case.
DEAR DICK: Did Monte Markham ever make movies
long ago under the name of Eric Linden? — G.E.8., Jersey
Shore, Pa.
Eric Linden is surely old enough to be Monte Markham’s
father. Linden made many movies in the ’3os — including
“Gone With the Wind” — but he’s now 65.
DEAR DICK: Is the MC of the game show, The Wizard of
Odds, married? Where is he from? He sounds English. —
S.K., Ventura, Calif.
You’re referring to Alex Trebek, who was still a bachelor
at last report. He s not English, but he is from Canada, and
has a bit of the jolly old in his speech.
