Entertainment Safin April 30, 1991 14 Names in the news Sinatra lawyer claims defamation LOS ANGELES (AP) Frank Sinatra's former lawyer sued Kitty Kelley, claiming she -defamed him in her best seller "Nancy Reagan: An Unauthorized Biography." Beverly Hills attorney Milton Rudin seeks unspecified damages from Ms. Kelley and publisher Simon Schuster. The lawsuit was filed Monday in federal court. Rudin alleges the author harmed his reputation by falsely implying he had discussed a client's personal life with her. Ms.

Kelley's book lists Rudin as one of hundreds of sources in her unflattering portrait of the former first lady. Calls placed after business hours on Monday to Simon Schuster went unanswered. Ms. Kelley's books on Sinatra and Nancy Reagan suggest a romantic relationship between the singer and Mrs. Reagan.

Sinatra has denied such a relea- tionship, and former President Reagan said the book about his wife is full of lies. Freeman, Goodman two derby celebrities LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) Actors Morgan Freeman and John Goodman are among scores of celebrities scheduled to be in town for Kentucky Derby week activities leading up to Saturday's race. Freeman, who appeared in the movies "Glory" and "Driving Miss Daisy," will attend a Salute to the Black Jockeys of the Kentucky Derby on Friday. Goodman, of the TV show 'Roseanne," will be in town Friday for a party to raise money for the American Diabetes Association.

Other celebrities expected in Louisville this week include Gen. H. Norman Schwarzkopf, who will lead a parade on Thursday. Best plays nominated NEW YORK in Yonkers" by Neil Simon, "La Bete" by David Hirson, "Six Degrees of Separation" by John Guare and Wash" by Philip Kan Gotanda were nomi- nated for best play by the Drama Desk. The Drama Desk on Monday snubbed "Miss Saigon" in its nominations for best musical of the 1990-91 theater season.

The nominations went to "Assassins," "The Secret Garden" and "The Will Rogers Follies." "Miss Saigon," the big British musical hit, received just four nominations for its two stars, Jonathan Pryce and Lea Salonga, for orchestrator William Brohn and for lighting designer David Hersey. Judge upholds Hall of Famer Jury award LOS ANGELES (AP) A federal judge upheld a jury's $540,000 award to baseball Hall of Famer Joe Morgan, who sued a police officer for roughing him up at Los Angeles International Airport three years ago. There was more than enough evidence to support the punitive damages" of $450,000, U.S. District Judge Mariana Pfaelzer said Monday. The jury also awarded Morgan $90,000 in compensatory damages in February.

Officer Clayton Searle and another officer were looking for a suspected drug courier's companion when they stopped the former second baseman in 1988. Morgan, now a businessman and baseball broadcaster, alleged he was stopped primarily because he is black. He said he and Searle argued and that Searle grabbed him, threw him to the ground, handcuffed him and paraded him past onlookers. Jackson tune song of year NASHVILLE, Tenn.

The award was presented Monday at the Grand Ole Opry House during a live 90-minute special on cable TV's The Nashville Network. The song was Jackson's first hit record. Readers of the Music City News, a monthly country music publication based in Nashville, chose the winner. Pianist, composer to present concert Fredericksburg Music Club performance Sunday Tonight The Fredericksburg Music Club will present a concert by pianist and composer Sister Elaine Gentemann on Sunday, May 5 at 3 p.m. at the Gillespie County Historical Society Center, 312 W.

San Antonio Street Sister Elaine, a native of Fredericksburg and daughter of the late John and Mary Meckel Gentemann, will present a concert that is a slight departure from the usual presented by the Fredericksburg Music Club. Sister Elaine has done extensive work in the area of musical composition, especially church music, such as masses, motets, hymns and choral works, as well as secular pieces: solos, trios and choruses, plus instrumental numbers for piano, violin, organ and wind ensembles. Sunday's performance will focus on one specific area that Sister Elaine calls "Functional Music" piano music geared specifically to the needs of the average music lover who enjoys playing and listening to music that is tuneful, relaxing, technically easy, and in her words "just plain fun" and very enjoyable. Sister Elaine finds that the average music lover is not interested in pursuing advanced knowledge of musical composition, but finds great satisfaction and pure joy in playing beautiful melodies inherent in tunes from musicals such as Camelot, The Sound of Music, and My Fair Lady; also in Beatles' songs, Joplin and Webber favorites, exquisite melodies hidden in the middle movements of sonatas and concerti. Sister Elaine's musical career includes many honors.

The Fredericksburg Music Club invites the public to attend. A freewill donation will be taken at the door.

Town swears off television for a week ANDOVER, Conn. (AP) Life without television can be tough: Just ask 11-year-old Heath Carlson.

It rained all weekend and he missed the last game of the regular season between the Chicago Bulls and the Detroit Pistons. He was reduced to watching his mother make Sunday breakfast, all because his family was one of 300 in town that swore off television for the week. I thought it was he said. His 9-year-old sister, Elke, had an even better word for it "It was a horrible idea." "NTV," standing for No Television, was the brainchild of community activist Dianne Grenier. Her intention was to rouse the couch potatoes, encourage children to be more conscientious about their homework and get families to spend more time together.

The Carlsons certainly did that, although they admit they caved in and watched the news, a sitcom and a movie on cable before the deadline. "Since we could not play Nin- tendo or watch TV, we watched my mom make pancakes, and now we may never eat them again!" Heath wrote in a diary the family kept during the TV-less week, which ended at midnight Friday. Two hundred families signed up for a week of unplugged TV, but Grenier estimated that 100 other families tuned out as word spread. The town of 2,500 people, 20 miles east of Hartford, planned dozens of activities to fill up the time, including volleyball, a puppet show, wine tasting and advice from horseshoe enthusiasts on how to throw a ringer. The three Carlson children were not alone in their grief.

Their mother, Ivy, found the prospect of folding a mountain of laundry grim without her favorite morning talk show. "I'll sure miss Phil (Donahue) this morning my folding partner! I listened to some CDs instead it was OK," read her diary entry for Monday. The family discovered they had time for other pursuits. On Sunday, "I woke up, did my homework, cleaned my hamster cage," Elke wrote. "After that I played with my friends.

I got home and instead of watching 'Charles in I read and went to bed." Like his older brother, 6-year-old Ian sorely missed "MacGyver." They watch the show Mondays nights and the reruns on weekday af- ternoons. Ian spent his free time pretending he was G.I. Joe in war games with a friend. Mrs. Carlson, 32, and her husband, Gary, took in a wine tasting Sunday afternoon.

A couple of nights the family sat around a backyard campfire and toasted marshmallows. Despite his frequent complaints, Heath confided in his diary that he was 'Although I felt sad and bored when I missed some of my favorite shows, it wasn't all that bad," he wrote.
