...battlefield again. Only this time it was in Deventer, Holland, on location with Producer Joseph E. Levine's $25 million war movie A Bridge Too Far. "It was completely real, everything grindingly, crushingly normal - everything except the bullets," reported Duncan after taking pictures of Actor Robert Redford and cast recreating the 1944 Battle of Arnhem. A good assignment, then? "The greatest," answered Duncan, "because after the day's work, the dead and wounded got up, hosed themselves off and went home. Beautiful...
...lives quietly in a modest three-bedroom house in Laurel Canyon with his Japanese-American wife Teruko and three children, Williams spends free time meditating, sketching, writing poetry and working out daily in a gym. His life-style more closely resembles that of such famed loners as Robert Redford and Paul Newman than that of Billy Dee's gregarious idol Clark Gable. "I am still searching," says Williams seriously. "I think I have been chosen to be recognized in a certain kind of way. Producers are beginning to see me in situations other than black. I am part...
...minor miracle that began when Viking bought an agentless, over-the-transom novel called Ordinary People did not stop there. Sales to Redbook, Ballantine Paperbacks, Reader's Digest Condensed Books and the Book-of-the-Month Club soon followed. Robert Redford's company has just bought the film rights.

Movie Star Robert Redford also joined their cause. The anti-nukes sent up to 5,000 young people a weekend on doorbell-ringing visits throughout the state. They harped on the idea that a reactor meltdown could release a cloud of radioactivity that, in the words of one pamphlet, "could contaminate hundreds of square miles, forcing you to abandon your home, bankrupting your employer and giving thousands of children thyroid cancers." Toward...
...first-quarter loss of $1.6 million. But moviemaking costs have risen so rapidly that it is just about impossible to attain special-event quality without a huge budget. Special effects like those in The Poseidon Adventure or Earthquake are frightfully expensive to film. Such "bankable" stars as Robert Redford and Barbra Streisand can easily command $1 million a picture; top-name directors like Hal Ashby (Shampoo) can earn up to $500,000. Craft union wages are up 15% over last year. Even a middling movie can end up costing $6 million, which makes it a gamble: such a movie generally...
