Movie ’Seizure
true life story
Captain and Tenille
sharpen solo careers
ByJERRYBUCK
AP Television Writer
LOS ANGELES (AP) -
“Seizure” is not so much a
medical drama as it is a story
about the relationship between
a doctor and his patient.
Kathy Morris challenges her
surgeon, the aloof Dr. Richard
Connough, and demands to be
treated like a human being and
not as a medical statistic. His
life, too, is altered by their
association.
Leonard Nimoy stars as Dr.
Connought and Penelope
Milford is Kathy Morris in
“Seizure: The Story of Kathy
Morris,” which airs Wed-
nesday night on CBS. It’s based
on the true story of Miss
Morris, a young singer who
develolped a brain tumor and
nearly died when an unforeseen
complication occurred during
surgery.
“The thing that intrigued me
was that it was a kind of
crossroads in relationships,”
said Nimoy, who also stars as
Mr. Spock in “Star Trek: The
Motion Picture.”
“Here is a girl full of life and
energy, but physically ill. And
a guy who has no physical ills
but whose personal life has
dried up. They have a won-
derful effect on each other.
“She was a person who stood
up and demanded to know the
treatment and” wanted to be in
on the decisions,” Nimoy said.
“Connought was caught short
by this attitude and turned
around by it.”
Christopher Allport plays
Miss Morris’ boyfriend,
Frederic Lehne is Ijer brother,
and Linda G. Miller stars as
Connought’s wife.
The real Kathy Morris makes
a special appearance at the end
to sing “It’s Good Today.”
Nimoy, who spent some time
observing neurosurgeons, said,
“They have a reputation — I
don’t know if it’s deserved — of
being superior and aloof. They
are dealing with so many losing
cases. The theory is that they
are trying to defend themselves
against this kind of failure by
being autocratic and
removed.”
..Connaught is a fictional name
for the doctor, and Nimoy said
he believes much of his per-
sonal life has been fic-
tionalized.
-fc
Nimoy was just back from
New York and Washington,
where he had attended the
premiere of “Star Trek” and
promoted the movie on NBC’s
“Today" show.

LOS ANGELES (AP)-Love
is still keeping them together —
and together they’re still on the
record charts — but Toni
Tennille and Daryl Dragon are
embarked.on an all-out effort to
widen their individual careers
beyond the narrow confines of
the Top 40.
“I just think -the record
business is too damn Jickle,”
says Miss Tennille — Mrs.
Dragon, if you prefer.

Preminger finds
money necessary
By BOB THOMAS
Associated Press Writer
HOLLYWOOD (AP) - “Why
talk about money9 It’s only a
necessary evil”
Otto Preminger can shrug off
the matter now, but earlier this
year he faced financial disaster
with his film, “The Human1
Factor.” The project had been
the veteran producer-director’s
initial venture into the
minefield of movie financing.
• “It is the first time that I
attempted to make a pfcthre
without the financing of a major
company,” he said! “I had
three men line up with a
promise of $7.5 million. But all I
got was promise. I never saw
the money.”
Meanwhile, Preminger had
commisioned a script by
English playwright- Tom
Stoppard, based on the novel by
Graham Greene. A cast had
been ' committed: Nicol
Williamson, Rjchard At-
tenborough, Robert Morley,.
John Gielgud, and the stunnng
New York model, Iman. Studio
space had been arranged in
England, plus a location in
Kenya.
Another moneyman promised
backing, but he too failed to
produce. Preminger then made
the supreme sacrifice.
“I invested my own money,”
he admitted. “Fortunately, I
had $ome available, because I

had just sold my house in the
south of France. I also parted
with two of my favorite pain-
tings by Matisse.”
His contribution amounted to
$2.5 million of the $5 million
budget. Payments to the actors
and others were deferred'— T
must say the unions and the
creditors behaved very well in a
very difficult situation ”
Preminger sold U.S.-
Canadian distribution’ rights (p
MGM and now is in the process
of arranging releases country-
by-country. “At least I own the
picture now," he remarked. “So
if it makes money after all the
"deferments are paid, I’ll be the
one to make a profit.”
hotcakes, if you don’t have one
for six or seven months....”
“Good-bye;” interjects the
laeonic Dragon.
“...nobody knows your
name,” finishes Miss Tennille.
Such grousing usually comes
from people .who haven’t been
enjoying much success, but this
is hardly the case with the
Captain & Tennille, ,as the
Dragons are known to millions.
Their latest release, “Do
That To Me One More Time,”
was in the Top 10 and still
climbing when they were in-
terviewed recently at their
rambling Pacific Palisades
home — she in running shorts
and a sweatshirt, he in his
usual nautical.cap.
However, the Dragons did
experience what they — as Los
Angeles Dodger fans — would
acknowledge as a hitless streak
in the last couple of-years.
After taking the music in-
dustry by storm with their
rollicking 1975 rendition of Neil
Sedaka’s “Love Will Keep Us
. Together,” the Captain &
Tenille were slated to become
the next Sonny & Cher on an
NBC variety series.
The series did respectably
well and made their faces
familiar — perhaps too
familiar. By mutual
agreement, it did not continue
beyond one season;'They felt
they were overexposed on
r television, —ct’n-
‘If you put all your eggs in.-
in repertory theater long before
she met and teamed up with
Dragon, has acted in several
television series.
Dragon is supervising work
on a recording studio the couple
recently purchased.
“They’re looking for the talk
show hostess of the ’Jits,” Miss
Tenille elaborates, adding that
she rather likes the idea.
The talking part would ap-
pear to be no problem for the
tall, blonde-haired Miss Ten-
nille, who- tends to carry the
conversational ball in in-
terviews much the way she
does in the couple’s nightclub
act. Dragon is asked if this ever
bothers him.
' “I’ve got to tell you,” he
chuckles, looking indulgently
at his wife, “if you put up
anyone next to Toni on
television, Toni's going totlank
them right out. So imagine me,
being quiet anyway — I’m
gone! I thought about it in the
beginning and said, OK, just
go with', it.”’
