People in the news Breland punches out dual career NEW YORK - Mark Breland, the professional boxer, recently finished shooting his second episode of “Miami Vice.” For his film and television roles, Breland was obliged to find different ways to get into character. For his portrayal of the cadet, Breland said he needed to be tired to open himself to the requisite emotions. So he would lower his emotional guard through exercise. “I would run or do jumping jacks,” said Breland. “THE LORDS OF DISCIPLINE” contains scenes in which hostile white cadets try to unnerve Breland’s character with racial epithets that Breland said he would not stand for in real life. In fact, when the director, Franc Roddam, urged Breland and the actors portraying his tormentors to stay in character off the set and continue the racial harangue, Breland declined. “I told him I’m not going to joke like that,” Breland said. “It’s not going to work. I don’t like to be embarrassed.” Breland used that aversion to being embarrassed to get into character for the role of an up-and-coming fighter he played in the “Miami Vice” episodes. During the shooting there were times when he forgot his lines and would hear laughter that he thought-but could not be absolutely sure-was directed at him. The idea of being laughed at, he said, would allow him “to build up the aggressiveness in my voice and the emotions in the scene.” The same sort of visualization is at the core of the way Breland, a world-ranked welterweight, gets into character when he fights. But what he conjures up hardly fits the traditional ideas of getting a game face on. “TO GET REAL MEAN,” Breland said, “I think of wild animals. I sit, with my head lowered, and think of tigers or panthers or my doberman, Scannon.” • RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif. (AP) Frank Sinatra, recovering from emergency surgery, is walking hospital corridors and joking with doctors and nurses, hospital officials say. Sinatra, 70, had normal vital signs Thursday, according to a statement by Dr. Alan Altman, the singer’s physician at Eisenhower Medical Center. Surgeons removed a 12-inch section of Sinatra’s large intestine Sunday after the entertainer became ill in Atlantic City, N.J. His stay in the hospital was expected to last several more days. LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) Seventy-six-year-old former Gov. Orval E. Faubus has announced plans to marry an elementary school teacher. Faubus said Thursday that he and Jan Wittenburg, 43, of Conway, who teaches fifth grade in Mayflower, will wed Nov. 23 in Little Rock. “I teach Arkansas history, and I’m just really proud to be married to the former governor,” Ms. Wittenburg said. Faubus divorced his first wife, Alta. His second wife, Elizabeth, was killed by an intruder at their home.

MARK BRELAND Two-fisted career

LOS ANGELES (AP) Actor Chad Everett says he hopes the unveiling of his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame is just the beginning. “Just put a “t” on the end of ‘star,’ and you’ll know how I feel about this whole thing,” Everett, who has been acting for 26 years, said at ceremonies Thursday. Everett played Dr. Joe Gannon on the old CBS-TV series “Medical Center” and starred in the television series “The Dakotas,” “Hagan” and “Rousters.” He was a contract player for Warner Bros, and MGM and has appeared in several feature films. • LOS ANGELES (AP) Cindy Williams stars as a former orphan who returns as a self-appointed den mother when hard times strike the old orphanage in the ABC Disney Sunday movie called “The Leftovers.” John Denver co-stars in the lighthearted drama about a battle to save the home from greedy land developers who get the city to order the place closed. It’s set to air this Sunday. “It was one of those things they asked me to do on a Thursday and we started work on a Monday,” said Williams, who got her big break in “American Graffiti” and is now best remembered as the dark-haired half of “Laverne & Shirley.” She also starred in the first Disney Sunday movie, “Help Wanted: Kids.” She has a contract with Disney to develop a new series. Besides the series, she has a movie in development about a camp for teetotalers. She did guest roles in a number of TV shows, but the turning point was a role in “Travels With My Aunt.” After working on that in Spain she returned to this country and was cast as Ron Howard’s girlfriend in “American Graffiti.” “When we did ‘American Graffiti’ I couldn’t remember all the names George Lucas had written for me,” she recalled. “It’s a scene at a dance where I have to talk about the people at a picnic. I couldn’t remember the names so I used the names of people I went to high school with.” She agreed to play Shirley on “Happy Days” as a favor to Garry Marshall, the show’s executive producer and Penny Marshall’s brother. The two women were brought in at first just for a double date with Richie and the Fonz in 1975. “I thought it would be just a one-shot,” Williams said. Instead, “Laverne & Shirley” became a series on ABC in January 1976 and was the top-rated program in the 1977-78 and 1978-79 seasons. Williams left the show before its final season in 1982-83. J
