And I've started hating my father. All I can say is I looked at a picture of him, after crying over all the other pictures, and he just didn't seem punished enough."

MICHELLE PHILLIPS, it seems, has always taken her auditions seriously. That's how she got her early film, "Dillinger," with Warren Oates. "I'd forgotten about the interview I was to have with the director, John Milius," she said.

"So when I finally turned up to see him I wasnt prepared. Fortunately, the casting director was a fan of mine, and on my way in he told me the part they were casting was that of a Cherokee. "So when Milius started questioning me about my background I casually slipped in the fact that I was half-Cherokee. That's a he said. The girl in this film is Then he took a closer look at me.

he said. 'Now I see it Those cheekbones. They're definitely Indian." OF COURSE, she got the part "People say I've got lots of confidence," she said. "Really, it's just that I have the confidence usually associated with a man. Women are supposed to be afraid and protected and coddled.

Well, I wasnt raised like that I was raised to believe that nobody had to protect me or take care of me. "In fact the reverse. My father brought me up to believe that being a woman gave me an edge on life. I was raised to feel lucky that I was a woman." She tossed her head and smiled widely. "And I do." Ted Kennedy A Profile In Courage LONDON Teddy Kennedy 17 year-old son of United States Senator Edward Kennedy, is among the nominees for the annual International Award for Valor in Sport to be presented at London's Guild Hall tomorrow.

Teddy, who will be accompanied by his father, has been nominated for his courageous return to sport after his leg was amputated because of cancer.

Mitchelson has been signed by Simon and Schuster to write "Live Ins" a book on the problems of living together without benefit of clergy. Trouble is, with all the preoccupation of the Marvin trial, he hasn't gotten around to writing it yet. Tony at Bat For Tony Orlando, superstardom on the stage isn't nearly enough.

All his life he's wanted a shot at home plate in the big leagues and he's ont to pet it if nniv as By RODERICK MANN 3padalamDBjHcmt "NOT LONG AGO," said Michelle Phillips, "I picked np a magazine and there was a picture of Ryan O'Neal and myself coming out of a restaurant together. Really nice. We looked good together. The only trouble is Fve never had dinner with Ryan O'Neal. The magazine had just made up a composite picture." Well, there you go.

That's the price you pay for being an attractive young woman who's gone around with two of Hollywood's most famous actor-consorts Warren Beatty and Jack Nicholson. Movie magazines get confused. They think you must have gone with others, too. Not surprisingly, all that to-ing and fro-ing between Warren and Jack landed the beautiful Miss Phillips in many a column. That was to be expected.

IN TIME, SHE LEARNED to live with it, and only got good and mad when the stories became outrageous such as the one linking her with 17-year-old actor-teenyrocker Leif Garrett. "He's someone I've known casually for some time," she said. "So when he ran into me in New York one day he naturally gave me a big hug. Next thing I know, it was in the columns. My new romantic interest was a.

teen-age boy. That made me really angry." Another thing that makes her mad: film stardom still eludes her. But if anyone thinks she's given up hope, they dont know Michelle Phillips. A recent magazine article stated flatly. "Michelle wants to be a star.

The men she's had were merely stepping stones" "That's ridiculous," she snapped. "People just dont understand my kind of independence. It's not so much that I'm tough as that I'm, well, an executive at heart, fve discovered I like making decisions. "BEFORE THAT, because I'd come from a singing career people were not inclined to take me seriously. And having had my name linked with Warren didnt help, either.

But now it's quite different "If funny, looking back. When I left The Mamas and the Papas I had a fantasy about walking straight into leading roles in films. If I had it would have been a disaster. Fortunately, Jack Nicholson told me I had to study acting. So I did, for three years.

There was so much to learn. I even had to learn how to cry. "When I first tried, I couldn't I Hew up to Canada to audition with Jack Clayton for a film and he gave me a script and said: 'By the time you get to line 17 1 want you very upset By the time you get to line 18 1 want you hysterical. And by the time you get to line 19 1 want you crying your heart out' Then he left me to study the script "I went down to my room and tried to cry and nothing happened. So I called room service and asked them to send up an onion.

It came on a tray with pepper and salt and a knife and fork. I scratched it with my nails and then, when I got to line 17, put my hands to my face. The tears just gushed. "When I went up to Jack's suite to read I was all set By the time I got to line 19 1 was weeping hysterically. The poor waiter came In at wreath, he will become the second snrres.
