...KRON to win the blessing of the California department of social services for its The Waiting Child feature. "There were a lot of questions about sensitivity and commitment," says News Director Pat Stevens.

...bios of studio film stars for a juicy part are as thick as autumn leaves-and some even thicker. And so with her Wonder Woman tights permanently stored away in some back-lot prop warehouse, Television Actress Lynda Carter dons a red wig and sucks in her tummy for Rita Hayworth, the Love Goddess, an upcoming two-hour CBS television movie. Carter learned how to dance and watched some of Rita's old films to strive for what she calls "the essence" of her character-goodness knows, she's 100° short on the smoldering look. Her performance...
