TME COURIER-JOURNAL, THURSDAY. JANUARY 2), K-3 MARILYN BECK Lead-actress nomination is sought for Cher for 45 and Dime' role THE EIG-SCREEN SCENE: Columbia Pictures intends to rush "Spacehunter Adventures in the Forbidden Zone" into release on June 3 to beat the rush of other three-D pictures that will be flooding the screens this summer. The $11 million "Zone." which doesnt complete production until late this month in Vancouver, is being directed by Lamont Johnson and produced by Don Carmody and Ivan Reitman and has Peter Strauss playing a junkman in space who chases after creatures and monsters and such.

"The studio has been campaigning to get Sandy Dennis a leading-actress nomination for "Jimmy Dean. but when you think about it, I did have more lines than she did in the movie." Cher says she agrees with most of the industry that no one has a chance besides Meryl Streep for "Sophie's Choice" in the best-actress race, but. as Cher notes, "just a nomination would be enough. I want one so badly, I'd kill for it." Even without an Oscar bid, she will be ever grateful to "Jimmy Dean" for what it's done for her career and her self-esteem.

It was Robert Altman's shortlived Broadway play, from which the movie sprang, she says, "that gave me professional credibility for the first time in my life. For the first time, I didn't feel like an industry joke. You can be stupid about your life and I have been many times but not stupid enough not to know when you're considered nothing but a joke." No one's poking fun at her talents these days, thanks not only to tnrillers that Ballantine is planning to reprint the author's works, seven books at a time. The firm purchased the rights to the Woolrich stories from Chase Manhattan Bank years ago. at a very minimal cost And if even a fraction of the film deals come about, they could generate enough of a rebirth of interest in Woolrich books to make a handsome fortune for the publishing firm.
