With Lee Majors
getting his career off the
ground with his new
movie “Look Down and
Die”, it is time for Farah
Fawcett to give hers
another shot. Poor
Farah, all three of her
movies have been bombs.
In fairness their failure to
perform at the box office
was not all her doing. The
three movies were cursed
with substandard scripts.
Now comes word that
Farrah is going to be
starring in a TV
miniseries based on the
Joan Hill murder. John
Hill was a Texas socialite
whose murder was the
basis of Tommy
Thompson’s best selling
novel Blood And Money.
This mini-series will not
be based on that book but
will still deal with the
same story. Farrah has
always been more suc
cessful on TV than in the
movies so maybe this will
be a big hit for her.
Commercials on
television were the
means by which Ms.
Fawcett launched her
career and it seems to be
doing wonders with the
career of Mariette
Hartley also. Her
Polaroid commercials
with Jim Garner coupled
with her substantial
acting talent make her
one of Hollywood’s
brightest stars. She has
two new TV movies
coming up this year and
also a feature film that
should be playing in our
theaters in the spring.
Out here in California
people were glued to their
television sets to see who
shot JR just like they
were in Georgia. But out
here the “Dallas” cast
was having a party the
night the crucial episode
was aired and they all
had comments on the
eleven o’clock news. 1
particularly liked what
Mary Crosby had to say
about her character
having fired the crucial
shot. Said Mary, “1 like

the idea of leaving the
show with a bang.”
Wonder who wrote that
line for her?
California was also the
scene of the recent
demise of the forty
million dollar film
“Heaven’s Gate”. All of
the ads were up an
nouncing the start of its
run during the middle of
November. Then came
the advance showing of
the film in New York with
the scathing reviews by
the critics. The film was
yanked for “re-editing”
by Michael Cimino and
was said to be “cut and
pasted” for a later run.
Word here though is that
the movie will never see
the light of day. Forty
million down the tubes.
All rave reviews are
being sounded for the new
Robert De Niro film

“Raging Bull”. I have
never seen such glowing
comments about a new
movie. How a movie
about boxing could be so
good is beyond me but I
intend to see it and find
out. De Niro stretched his
weight from 150 pounds to
over 200 to show the full
range of the disin
tegration of his character
and to me that is really
suffering for your art. I
remember reading one
time that Shelley Winters
gained 30 or 40 pounds for
a movie. I don’t think she
ever got rid of it again. In
the recent biography of
Mario Lanza I read, one
of his main problems was
with weight fluctuation.
He needed weight for the
pre-recording of the
musical numbers and
then had to lose it for the
actual filming. And we
think we have problems.

Co-producers for the
show are Brad Kidwell of
Perry from the WRCT

performances will be four
dollars for adults and two

tickets for the matinee
will be a dollar and a half.
Tickets can be purchased

Truth To Perform
At First Baptist
The Christian singing
group TRUTH will be
appearing at First
Baptist Church on
December 9 at 7 o’clock
p.m. ADMISSION IS A
LOVE OFFERING. The
public is invited to attend.
TRUTH appear
regularly on top-rated
Christian television
programs in the U.S. and
other countries and have
received both “Dove”
and “Grammy award
nominations for their
recording excellence.
TRUTH is made of 18
college-age musicians
who are constantly on the
road. And that road has
led them from their
beginning in Mobile. Ala.,
to New England, the West
coast, Alaska, Jamaica,
Mexico, Canada and on a
tour of Europe.
The leader - founder of
this group is Roger
Breland who grew up in
Mobile Ala, and, as he
recalls, music was
always special to him:
“Music was the one thing
that put a real tingle in
my heart.”
TRUTH was born as a
youth choir while Breland
was serving as minister
of music at Spring Hill
Baptist in Mobile. The
original group was called
Varsity and for awhile,
Varsity was the only
group in the Mobile area
performing the newly -
arriving contemporary
Christian music.
Varsity became
TRUTH in 1971. The
name, which stands for
Trust, Receive, Un
changeable, True Hap
piness, was picked by
Breland’s wife, Linda,
while they were reading
the Bible one night.
TRUTH’S early days
were not always easy and
the group performed
many places, including
back yard barbecues, gas
station openings and in
shopping malls.
But, through it all,
Breland began to see the
foremost purpose for
TRUTH. “1 found out that
I was trying to be a
A CHILD IS BORN
musician and it wasn’t
working because I don’t
feel like that’s what we’re
called to be. I think as
Christians we’re called to
be communicators, and
music is the tool we use to
communicate the
gospel.”
The group has six
singers, 3 guys and 3 gals,
a miniature orchestra
with nine in
strumentalists (four
brass, four rhythm, and a
woodwind) plus elec
tronic keyboards and a
grand piano wired for
sound.
TRUTH members are
selected mostly by
Breland and they come
from a dozen states and
as many denominations.
Auditions are held
everywhere they go.
Breland says, “I can hear
them sing ‘Amazing
Grace’ and know if they
can do it or not.”
Breland’s concept of a
concert is simple: “The
whole thing is to let you
know at the end that we
have told you three
things. One -- God loves
you. Two-- that Jesus is
the answer. And three --
committing your life to
Him is really what life’s
all about.”
Breland feels TRUTH
is the kind of group
“where you have to sit
down and give us a
chance. And if you’ll sit
through one of our con
certs and test our spirit, 1
believe that it’s possible
you may not like us. But,
I also believe, given an
opportunity, that you
can’t say we’re dishonest
in what we’re doing
spiritually.”
Breland sums it up this
way: “The bottom line in
life is not how much
money we’re going to
make, how many people
we’re going to sing in
front of, how many
friends we’re going to
make the bottom line is
what are you going to do
about the cross where
God demonstrated His
love for us when Jesus
died for us?”
