PERSONALITIES, ETC. Warrai CudM Wash (Mdfc.Out of lis Hair 11 A XL vN' i BERGMAN: Candid about cancer. LUCAS: Paying for credit. Since the breakup of her marriage, whom has Gol-die Hawn been seeing? A Hawn has kept a low ro-mantic profile since she and Bill Hudson separated. In fact, there's been more talk about Hudson's brief fling with Ali MacGraw than about Goldie's private doings.

Lately, though, Hawn has been stunning Hollywood by dating none other than fellow actor-producer Warren Beatty. They worked together in "Shampoo" and have remained in touch ever since. Is there actually a tree in New Jersey that inspired the Joyce Kilmer poem A There was. The tremen-dous oak that Kilmer gazed at and sat under as a Rutgers student in 1905-06 lasted more than 300 years on the campus at New Brunswick, reaching a height of almost 70 feet and a spread, of more than 100 feet Kilmer's 12-line poem was published in August 1913 by a Chicago magazine, Poetry, five years before he died in action in World War T. The oak stopped budding sometime in the 1950s, and in September 1963 the tree was cut down.

Souvenir hunters carried off logs, limbs, acorns, seedlings, chips, twigs, leaves and even pinches of sawdust We've heard that Bob Hope tripped and fell, breaking his famous ski nose. True? A No. His wife, Dolores, took the falL As she and Bob were leaving a Toronto hotel lobby, Dolores tripped over a luggage carrier and took a nasty spill. She suffered a mild concussion, bruises and a black eye. How many operations did Ingrid Bergman have for breast cancer? A Two, the first in 1974, the second in 1979.

Bergman wrote candidly of the operations (both were mastectomies) in her recent book, "Ingrid Bergman, My Story." At 65, she lived quietly in London for a while before going back to work, portraying Golda Meir in a film. cJ 4 GOLDIE HAWN: Her marriage broke up, but things are Beatty now. What's the real story behind filmmaker George Lucas resigning from the Directors Guild of America? A He disregarded a Guild rule and was fined heavily. The rule calls for a director's credit to appear at the beginning of a film, but Lucas put director Irvin Kershner's name at the end of "The Empire Strikes Back." Kershner himself had approved the credits for "Star Wars" had appeared at the end and was ticked off about Lucas' being fined which didn't seem to matter. Is Hazel Scott, the pianist and singer, still alive? Wasn't she married to a U.S.

senator named Scott? A Scott, who's still playing and singing, was never married to a senator, but she was the wife of U.S. Rep. Adam Clayton Powell, pastor of the largest church in Harlem, who died in 1972. Their son, Adam is a CBS producer, and there is a chance that a Broadwp.y musical may be done on Powell's life, but Scott has no connection with it What can I look forward to seeing Meryl Streep in next? A After "The French Lieu-" tenant's Woman," from John Fowles' best-seller, she'll be in "Stab," directed by Bob Benton of "Kramer vs. Kramer." Incidentally, filmmaker Joe Le-vine, whose "Tattoo," starring Bruce Dern and Maud Adams, is his 495th film, met Streep recently for the first time.

He congratulated her on "The French Lieutenant's Woman," promptly offered her a role in any of his pictures, then in true Levine style exclaimed, "I wish I were making a hundred more pictures and you were the star of every one of them!"
