Address 4 letters to Ask co THE TENNESSEAN, 1100 Broadway, Nashville, OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Term. 37202. ASA WHO My brother and I have a bet we hope yon can solve for us. On the soap opera "One Life To Live," my brother says Asa Buchanan is Charles Heston.

I say he is the actor that used to on "Laredo." Could you tell us and what Asa's real name is? This is play the captai which is right my last resort. lay the captain which is right B.H. Nashville Give yourself a point and your brother zero. Asa Buchanan is played by Philip Carey, and he used to portray Captain Parmalee on "Laredo." sJt. PS As "-'lit.

CAPONE CHARACTER-Who was the actor that used to play Al Capone on "The I can see him as clear as day, but I can't think of his name. M.J. Nashville Try Neville Brand. LIFE OF RILEY I bet a friend of mine that William Bendix was the only Chester Riley on TV in the early 1950s. He claims that Jackie Gleason clayed Riley first.

Do I pay up and shut up, or does V.B. Murfreesboro You do. Your friend is right. Gleason was the first Riley. DOLL VALLEY SEQUEL-I've written several times but have never been answered.

I hope you can answer this one as there is a $10 bet riding on it. I say there was a movie titled "Beyond the Valley of the Dolls" made some years ago. My friend says no, only "Valley of the Dolls." Ann Martin Nashville You're correct. "Beyond the Valley of the Dolls" was made in 1970. It had very little in common with "Valley of the Dolls." DUKES CAR I would like to know what model the General Lee, the Dukes' of Hazzard automobile, is? Do Bo (John Schneider) and Luke (Tom Wopat) do their own stunts? Robert Parsons Celina The Dukes drive a Dodge Charger.

We do not know for sure if the two stars do their own stunts, I r.V' r-NjJ J8Ty' 1 fclll hl 1 VilHOWifiifllii ililTi Ti iHWif ffi 0 -HtllWli i Neville Brand Philip Carey As Capone In "Laredo" hat leMiriGohd: I aQBS SUNTAN SALON 4005 Travis Drive BW 834-3943 JctSt1t.i 1 Block North of Harding Mall i -if 4 -i" i if i William Bendix The second Chester RHey but we really doubt that they do. Even if they were qualified stunt drivers the producers wouldn't want to take a chance on them getting injured. Recently while shooting a chase scene for "The Dukes of Hazzard," the camera crew filming the cars in the chase wrecked, and the camera man was killed and eleven crew members were injured. Although many of the stunts on TV may look easy to viewers, it's only because experts are performing them, and even the experts don't escape without some injures. STATION: HAWAII ACTRESS-Last week I saw the movie Station: Hawaii" with Jared Martin and Jack Lord.

Who was the actress that co-starred as Karen Holt? What has she done before this? J.H. Nashville Wasn't Jo Ann Harris who co-starred with Jared Martin and Jack Lord in Station: Hawaii" once on a show called "Most Wanted" with Robert Stack a few years ago? I have a $15 bet that she was. Celia Madden Nashville You're right. Jo Ann Harris did star with Stack on "Most Wanted." She portrayed Officer Kate Manners. WESTERN a REAL SINGER-Scoopy Bruce Harper, veteran DJ of 30 years, called Ask Showcase last week to acknowledge that there really is a singer named Johnny Western.

Western sang the theme song, Paladin, to the Richard Boone series, "Have Gun Will Travel." Scoopy Bruce says that Western recorded for Columbia Records and toured with Johnny Cash and Buck Owens.
