People in the news Song is mine, musician says CHICAGO A suburban Schaumburg musician is less than thrilled by the blockbuster success of Michael Jackson’s album “Thriller.” Fred Sanford contends in a U.S. District Court suit that the song “The Girl Is Mine” in the 30 million-seller album actually is his tune, composed in 1982 under the title “Please Love Me Now.” Sanford’s suit isn’t aimed at superstar Jackson and Paul McCartney, who sings the song with Jackson on the record, but at the records division of CBS Inc., which produced the hit song. Sanford charges the record company plagiarized his creation after he sent it to CBS records about two years ago for consideration. While Jackson wasn’t named as a defendant, he was cited in the suit as having participated in the alleged “bad acts, at least in part.” Jackson is listed on the album as the song’s composer. Jackson was unavailable for comment, but he reportedly has been summoned by lawyers for Sanford to give depositions. A source at CBS records, who asked not to be named, described the suit as being without foundation and noted that such suits are relatively common, especially in the case of tunes that become huge hits. The “Thriller” album, for example, was named “Best Record of the Year” at the Grammy Awards last month. The source added, “Michael Jackson is the perfect target for something like this.” • LONDON (AP) Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, known for her conservative garb, says she dresses to “look right for Britain” but thinks it’s “marvelous” her country has a fashion-setter like Princess Diana. “She obviously has a tremendous sense of adventure and fashion and she likes change," Mrs. Thatcher, 58, said of the 22-year-old princess in a radio interview Friday. “To have a fashion-setter like that is marvelous ... just what we need at a time when we’ve got a number of superb designers,” the prime minister said. “I have to look right for Britain. I have to feel comfortable and know that it looks right for me so that all my mind can be concentrated on meeting people and what I have to say,” said Mrs. Thatcher, who was holding a reception today at her Downing Street residence for designers as part of British Fashion Week. • “It was hell for her, pinned in that thing all day long, lying around the set listening to dumb fish jokes,” John Candy said, commiserating over the travails of his co-star Darryl Hannah, who plays a mermaid in “Splash!” Candy’s own role is that of the hero’s brother, Freddie, and he describes his character “as a ne’er-do-well, a bon vivant and a playboy, but one with a lot of dimension. You can tell that he’s had a bad life and that he’s got a hurt soul.” Candy said that the role of Freddie hadn’t been written for him specifically, however much it may seem custom tailored to his talents. In fact, Ron Howard considered using Candy for the role in his earlier comedy, “Night Shift,” that eventually went to Michael Keaton. Now Candy has his own development deal and will come up with three films in which he can star, the first of them about a golfer.

Although she's already mimicked a famous Marilyn Monroe pose and has appeared in what the Ladies Professional Golf Assn, considers provocative photo layouts, pro golfer Jan Stephenson says she has turned down a $50,000 offer to appear in Playboy Magazine. She said she turned down an original offer of SIO,OOO and politely refused to pose nude after the ante was upped. ''l wouldn't do anything I think my parents would be ashamed of," she said. (AP Wirephoto). RAPID CITY, S.D. (AP) The judge who gave Robert F. Kennedy Jr. a suspended sentence for possessing heroin says the son of the late senator has taken “some giant steps” in overcoming drug addiction. In handing down the two-year suspended sentence Friday, Circuit Judge Marshall Young also imposed probation conditions including continued drug treatments and 1,500 hours of community service. “I think you have a real good probability and possibility of overcoming your drug addiction,” he told Kennedy. “You’re the only one that can solve these problems. You’ve taken some giant steps.” Kennedy’s 10-minute court appearance came nearly a month after he pleaded guilty to a felony charge of possessing about two-tenths of a gram of heroin when he became ill aboard a flight from Minneapolis to Rapid City in September. The sentence “has nothing to with your name or anything else,” Young said. • .1 •' ' i-' NEW YORK Robert E. Mulholland, president and chief operating officer of NBC for the last two and a half years, announced his resignation on Friday. Mulholland, who is 50 years old, had been with NBC since 1961, when he joined the NBC station in Chicago as a news writer. He became president of the NBC television network in 197, and was appointed by Grant Tinker to the company presidency in 1981, shortly after Tinker became chairman of NBC.
