GINALOLLOBRIGIDA Inspects the plot

ilwoigb dmw

By JOEY SASSO EYE ON TV: The money grubbing "J.R. Ewing” of the top-rated television series, "Dallas,” probably wishes he earns the money that Larry Hagman does - about $3 million every year. "I get *150,000 an episode and I'm asking for *200,000 next year,” Hagman, who portrays the "biggest heel in Texas” on the show. Hagman said in an interview in Las Vegas that he thinks he is worth that amount of money. "When you say show business you better stress the business," he adds. "That's what the whole thing is about. If I wasn't making money for the network and the sponsors they'd throw me out the door so fast I'd bounce all the way to my pad in Malibu." Hagman said the show is watched by 400 million people a week throughout the world thanks to satellites and that he is as well known on the globe as Ronald Reagan - "and I don't have his headaches." Hagman doesn't think that success will spoil him as he feels he has been successful all his life. "I was born successful thanks to my parents (his mother is stage star Mary Martin) and I have been able to handle good fortune all my life. People keep asking me if I am like 'J.R.' I don't think so. My wife says she would turn me in if I was and I have been around for 27 years now. I'm obviously doing something right." Charlene Tilton, still reeling from her traumatic divorce from country singer Johnny Lee, was dealt another staggering blow when the producers of "Dallas” decided to drop her because they'd run out of ideas for her character, Lucy Ewing, say insiders. Concerned friends say that Charlene was badly jolted when she learned that her contract was being allowed to expire at the end of the current season. "Charlene has had to deal with a lot these past few years,” says a source close to the 26-year-

old actress. "The reality of her demise on 'Dallas' hit her hard." TV INSIDER: Gina Lollobrigida is in the forefront of a fight to clean up prime-time TV. The Italian star discloses that before accepting her role on "Falcon Crest," she double-checked to make sure the plot didn't involve her in incest. "We all hear in Europe how the plots on your shows can get very tangled," she said. "I had it written into my contract that I wouldn't be called upon to take part in any overly sexy scenes or have to do any sort of nude or semi-nude shots. A little kissing, but nothing else. I also checked with the producers to make sure that the men I became involved with weren't related to me. I didn't want to be involved in that sort of thing." ★ ★ * INSIDE STORY: Joan Collins feels the women's liberation movement has proved to be a disappointment for most women. "I think they got a raw deal on this equality thing,” the "Dynasty” star says. "They were expecting full equality, and all they got was sexual equality. There aren't enough positions for women - and the government hasn't created facilities where working women can leave their babies during the day. Nobody is doing anything about that. It's a dead subject. "It seems as if the only pioneers in the women's movement are women like me, who are saying:"Okay, girls, don't give up just because you are over 40.” Joan admits that the attitude of men toward women is more sensitive and caring than it was a generation ago, but adds: "Women have always understood men a great deal more than men have understood women.” She refuses to think of herself as being past 50 years old. "I feel like I'm about 34."
