People in the news Partridge Family survivor matures

LOS ANGELES (AP) Actress Susan Dey said her character of tough deputy district attorney Grace Van Owen on NBC’s “LA. Law” will loosen up this season and be more sexy and confident. Confident enough, perhaps, to go without Kuzak’s socks. The love scenes between Miss Dey and actor Harry Hamlin, who plays lawyer Michael Kuzak, were steamy last season but Miss Dey said she may have been a bit inhibited. “Some of the specific sexual, sensual scenes between Van Owen and Kuzak ... it was different. And I felt the difference,” she said. “At times, it was breaking through for both Harry and myself. “One scene there was a negligee, and we hadn’t seen Grace Van Owen in anything like this. She was going to be in a negligee and lying in bed, going over legal briefs. I said, ‘I can’t handle it.’ I said, ‘See if I can wear Kuzak’s socks. That would make me feel more comfortable.’ They cleared it and said OK. You never saw the socks on film, but it made me feel more comfortable, more balanced.” Miss Dey, 34, who once played a singing teen in “The Partridge Family,” was nominated for a best actress Emmy for “L.A. Law” but lost last month to Sharon Gless of “Cagney & Lacey.” • LOS ANGELES (AP) The lawyer for Peter Holm, who quit when Holm phoned in sick from France before a hearing on his demand for SBO,OOO a month in alimony from ex-wife Joan Collins, was back on the case Thursday. Frank Steinschriber agreed to re-enter the case because of signed statements from Holm’s French doctor confirming that the former Swedish rock star had flu that rendered him unfit to travel, said Lynn Roache, Steinschriber’s legal secretary. The lawyer is scheduled to argue for a re-opening of the case at a hearing Oct. 30, Roache said. Documents filed with the court contains a declaration from Holm answering questions about his marital status. “Rumors that I remarried are untrue,” Holm wrote. Miss Collins’ attorney, Marvin Mitchelson, told reporters Oct. 7 that Holm, 40, had married Cathy Wardlow, the former secretary to Los Angeles Lakers and Kings owner Jerry Buss. Mitchelson has said Holm received $1.9 million during the couple’s marriage and deserves nothing more. • MUSKEGON, Mich. (AP) Miss America Kaye Lani Rae Rafko returned to Michigan and told wellwishers that coming home would be the highlight of her reign. The 24-year-old nurse from Monroe stepped from her plane Friday onto a red carpet at Muskegon County International Airport. It was her first trip back since she was crowned Miss America Sept. 20 in Atlantic City, N.J. Balloons were released and the Ravenna High School Band played as Miss Rafko was greeted by five area mayors and a crowd of about 100. She spent a half-hour hugging fans and signing autographs. At a brief news conference, she said her Miss America experience already had included dinner Wednesday night with President Reagan and his wife, Nancy. She was reunited with her parents Friday for the first time since her crowning. NEW YORK (AP) Actress Kathleen Turner and her newborn daughter are both reported doing fine. Miss Turner gave birth Wednesday to Rachel Ann Weiss, 4 pounds, 5 ounces, said her publicist, Donald Ingram. Miss Turner is married to Jay Weiss, who works in real estate.

Staying power Encyclopedia tabs Michael Jordan, Toyota

CHICAGO (AP) The staying power of pro basketball star Michael Jordan, British actor Sir John Gielgud and the Toyota Motor Corp, has put them among 70 new entries in the 1988 The World Book Encyclopedia, editors say. “You can’t be of temporary interest like rock stars such as Madonna, who may be here today, gone tomorrow,” said Executive Editor A. Richard Marmet. The new edition, celebrating the Chicago-based encyclopedia’s 70th anniversary, is the most extensive World Book revision in 26 years, he said. “We wanted to see what we could do to make World Book more useful and usable,” Harmet said Thursday.

NEW YORK (AP) Mayor Edward I. Koch turned the tables on the star of television’s “The Equalizer” by placing actor Edward Woodward under his protection. Woodward was at City Hall on Friday to shoot a scene for the series, in which he helps people in trouble. Koch came out and presented him with a tie bearing the official seal of the city of New York. “If you wear this tie,” Koch said, “and if someone comes along who you think is going to mug you, you show the tie and you say, ‘l’m under the protection of the mayor.’” When a reporter suggested, “If the tie doesn’t work, you could always call the equalizer,” Woodward responded, “If the tie doesn’t work, I will call the mayor.” • BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) Rosalynn Carter, the former first lady, says the news media have helped promote a stereotypical image of the mentally ill as dangerous people. “The media can make so much difference,” she said Thursday. “People need to be made aware of the fact that it can happen to anyone. It can happen to their families.” Mrs. Carter, who has been married to former President Carter 41 years, was in Birmingham Thursday for the annual meeting of the state Mental Health Association. Earlier, she spoke at Judson College in Marion as part of the induction cermonies for the Alabama Women’s Hall of Fame. Alabama author Leila Warren and neurosurgeon Elizabeth Caroline Crosby were the inductees. BUTTE, Mont. (AP) Former motorcycle stuntman Evel Knievel owes almost $5 million in taxes and penalties, according to court papers filed this week. The government filed a motion in U.S. District Court here Tuesday seeking a judgment in the tax case, which dates to 1983. Authorities acted because they believe a settlement “is not feasible,” said John D. Steffan, a Justice Department attorney. The court papers alleged that Knievel and his wife, Linda, are $4,815,040 in arrears in taxes, interest and penalties for the tax years 1972-76. VERMILLION, S.D. (AP) The University of. South Dakota basked in the limelight as homecoming brought back graduates Joe Robbie, owner of football’s Miami Dolphins; NBC anchorman Tom Brokaw, and Al Neuharth, founder of USA Today. The three held a news conference Friday to promote the university’s fund drive. Plenty of reporters attended, but they didn’t ask any questions about the fund campaign, which the three men serve as cochairmen. Instead, reporters wanted to hear about the football strike and listen to Neuharth, chairman of Gannett Co., and Brokaw debate the merits of their respective media. Neuharth said network newscasts spend too much time in faraway places such as the Persian Gulf and China and “they do not really cover what happens in Vermillion or Yankton or Sioux Falls or Sioux City.” Brokaw, who grew up in Yankton, recently reported from China for a week

Jordan, the ninth professional basketball player to be included, was chosen for his NBA scoring record and spectacular dunk shots, the World Book editors said. Gielgud was selected for his distinguished 66year acting career. Toyota became the first Japanese car maker to make the World Book. “A person, event, or subject must have historical significance, must have made a major contribution to his or her field or must be a topic of great interest to a large number of people,” Harmet said. “We often take a wait-and-see attitude.” New topics in the revised edition include nuclear winter, homelessness, extraterrestrial intelligence, the “Star Wars” defense program, Rastafarians, and team handball.
