Cattaneo reveals trust technique
NEW YORK (AP) —Peter
Cattaneo used a revealing tech-
nique to gain the trust of actors
in “The Full Monty.”
“I took my clothes off,” said
the director of the hit movie
about a motley crew who turn to
stripping. “Not all of them, of —
course. I didn’t want to make
them ill. But it helps build cama-
raderie once you’ve seen each
other’s buns.”
“I was very nervous,” the 34-
year-old said in the March issue
of Entertainment magazine. “I
had to deal with dancing, crowd
sequences, and kids, and for
much of the time I thought I was
making complete rubbish.”

| NASHVILLE, Tenn.(AP) —
Peyton Manning is keeping
busy as he awaits the NFL dfaft,
even trying his hand at singing
country music.
Manning, who as a University
of Tennessee quarterback fin-
ished second in voting for the
Heisman Trophy as college foot-
ball’s best player, joined his
friend Kenny Chesney on stage
at the country singer’s concert in
Bristol.
When the chorus of “Back
Where I Come From” rolled
around, Manning sang along.
“As big a thrill as I’ve gotten
watching Peyton Manning throw
a football, it was an even bigger
thrill to have him share the stage
with me,” Chesney said.
Chesney, a native of Knoxville
who grew up in Luttrell, has a
hit on the country music charts
titled “A Chance.” Manning is
considered a top choice in next
month’s National Football
League draft.
The painting is in the style
Warhol pioneered in the 1960s.
He would enlarge a snapshot of
his subject and soften the image
in the silk screen-printing
process, often adding brash
work, as he did with the bluish-
gray Rockefeller portrait.
Rockefeller died in 1979 at
age 70. Warhol was 58 when he
died in 1987.

son Rockefeller went on display

complex that was built while
Rockefeller was governor.

LONDON (AP) — Princes
William and Harry plan to join
their dad on his working trip to
Canada this month and then
head for the ski slopes for a
mini-vacation.
William, 15, and Harry, 13,
will accompany Prince Charles
to his official engagements in
Vancouver, British Columbia, on
March 23 and 24, his office
announced Tuesday. The three
princes then will spend some
time skiing at a nearby resort.
Charles last visited Canada in
April 1996 and was there in
October 1991 with the boys and
their mother, Princess Diana.
Harry accompanied his father
on official engagements in South
Africa last year, but this will be
William’s first such trip since his
mother’s Aug. 31 death in a Paris
car crash.
MALIBU, Calif. (AP) —
Robert Downey Jr. will be let
out of jail again long enough to
work on movies, over objections
from the sheriff and prosecutors.
A judge on Tuesday cleared
the way for more working'field
trips by the actor, who is serving
a six-month jail sentence for
drug violations.
Downey has been allowed to
leave jail twice before.
Los Angeles County Sheriff
Sherman Block has said the
excursions were disruptive to the
jail, and a prosecutor argued that
Downey was getting preferential
treatfnent. ,
“I don’t view Mr. Downey as
being treated specially at all,”
Municipal Judge Lawrence Mira
said.
Downey will leave jail
Wednesday and Friday to do
post-production work for the
film “In Dreams” at Paramount
Studios.
As in the previous trips,
Downey must pay for the
deputies who escort him all day
BATH, Maine (AP) —
Stephen King, who wrote about
the horrors of domestic violence
in the best-selling novel “Rose
Madder,” gave $50,000 to open a
shelter for abused women and
children.
The gift by King and his wife,
Tabitha, means the shelter in
Bath will open sooner than
expected, said Lois Reckitt,
director of Family Crisis Ser-
vices.
The check arrived on Christ-
mas Eve, when the financial out-
look for the shelter \y|s bleak..
“We started dancing around
and hugging each other in the
office,” Reckitt said Wednesday
in The Times Record of
Brunswick. “That’s how huge a
gift it was for us.”
The Kings, who live in Ban-
gor, do not comment on their
charitable efforts, a spokesman
said.
