People in the news Complaints don't make Clint's day

CARMEL, Calif. (AP) Clint Eastwood says people who want him to change the name of his upcoming movie, “Heartbreak Ridge,” are “shooting from the hip” when they complain because the hero’s a Marine, not from the Army. “It’s not a war story,” Eastwood, the mayor, said Tuesday night during a break in a City Council meeting. “It’s a character story.” A Pentagon official responding to requests from Korean War veterans called Tuesday for a change in the movie’s name, saying it wrongly credits the Marines for one of the Army’s bloodiest battles of the war. Only a few Marines were involved in the Army battle that raged in North Korean territory from Sept. 13 to Oct. 13, 1951. Eastwood said that the character he portrays is that of a modern-day gunnery sergeant going through the heartbreak of losing a woman in his life as he nears the end of his career with the Marines. “It’s not a period picture. It’s today,” Eastwood said. “The Marines were there, t 00... He just happened to be in the area. There’s a dual meaning in the Heartbreak thing: his life as opposed to the battle.” Of those criticizing the title, he said, “They don’t even know the plot line. It’s a good story.” • SHERIDAN, Wyo. (AP) The premiere of rock star Prince’s new movie brought actress Rosanna Arquette, singers Joni Mitchell, Sheila E., and Ray Parker Jr. and jazz musician Thomas Scott to this mining and ranching town of 15,000. The celebrities also attended a party for “His Royal Badness” after viewing “Under The Cherry Moon” Tuesday. Lisa Barber, 20, a hotel maid, won the chance to host the premiere of the movie and the party afterward by being the 10,000 th caller in an MTV national call-in contest. The rock video cable TV channel carried the party live. Prince played a medley of his songs with his usual band, Revolution, which made a surprise appearance following his performance with another band. • LANAI CITY, Hawaii (AP) Singer Kenny Rogers’ appearance before residents had nothing to do with singing he was arguing as “a concerned potential citizen” on behalf of developing two resorts on the island. “I’m not here as a singer tonight,” Rogers told about 140 residents of Lanai Island during a public hearing Tuesday night. He said he supported resort plans and would pay to set up a junior tennis program for island youngsters. “I care about you,” Rogers said, shaking hands and signing autographs. The island, known as “Pineapple Island,” is owned by the Dole Co.

JOHNNY CARSON Unannounced visit

AVOCA, lowa (AP) Johnny Carson’s spokesman isn’t saying it happened, but Morris Berndt is sure it was the star of “The Tonight Show” who knocked on his door one quiet afternoon. “As soon as I opened the door I recognized who he was Johnny Carson,” Berndt said of his Monday visitor. “He asked if I knew that it was his house he used to live in, and I said we had heard that,” Berndt said Berndt said the Carson family moved to Avoca in 1930 and lived in his house for six years before moving to Nebraska. Charlie Barrett, a Carson spokesman, said the star was on a one-week vacation and was in Malibu Tuesday. Barrett said he “knew nothing about a trip to lowa.” “Carson said it was a spur-of-the-moment thing,” said Berndt of the 20-minute visit. Berndt said Carson asked him “for a good place to eat, so I directed him to the Embers restaurant.” Kevin Albers, a dishwasher at Embers, said Carson stayed at the restaurant between 30 and 45 minutes. “I got his autograph,” he said. • WIMBLEDON, England (AP) Sarah Ferguson, the fiancee of Prince Andrew, was among a packed Centre Court crowd for the men’s quarterfinals at Wimbledon, although she had to make a dash for it. Ferguson and a friend were traveling by limousine Wednesday to the All-England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club when the car got stuck in traffic. She and Carolyn Beckwith-Smith, her former roommate, left the limo and dashed for the club entrance, weaving past jammed cars. The crowd gave Ferguson a round of applause as she entered the Royal Box. • COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) Poet and novelist James Dickey is recovering after surgery to remove a blood clot from his brain that his wife said was lifethreatening. “He came very close to death,” his wife, Deborah, said Tuesday night. “He has had brain surgery very major brain surgery. But he rallied very, very well.” Dickey, 63, author of “Deliverance” and a professor at the University of South Carolina in Columbia, underwent emergency neurosurgery Monday night at Richland Memorial Hospital, said Mrs. Dickey.
