By Jay Sharbutt NEW YORK (AP) -When his two sons were still in school, Lloyd Bridges never tried to dampen their enthusiasm for acting. It's no mean feat when you consider their first paid jobs were in his old "Sea Hunt" series.

The sons Jeff, 24, and Beau, 31 have since gone on to establish successful acting careers of their own, a fact which visibly pleases Bridges the Elder. He says he'd like all three Bridges to appear in the same movie or TV show at the same time, but the opportunity hasn't arisen. In lieu of that, he and Beau are co starring in a CBS special. It's "The Whirlwind," the second in a series of four 90 minute dramas based on the life and times of Benjamin Franklin. In the Dec.

17 show, Beau Bridges plays Franklin in the latter's younger years as a journeyman printer, while Lloyd Bridges portrays the great American statesman in his middle years. A native Californian whose Broadway debut came in "Othello" 37 years ago, Bridges grinned when asked if he'd ever counseled either son against the thespian life when they showed signs of having the acting bug. "No, because I love it myself and I've always loved acting," he said. "It's a great profession, although precarious." ty house that has never before been used for musical comedy. "The story in the musical, by the way, is not at all like that in the film.

It covers a number of years in Andersen's life in which he attains fame and fortune, and an influence in his success is the Swedish singing star, Jenny Lind." Mrs. Osborn knows about singing stars. She was one. She came out of Mound City, 111., and had little trouble in making her way in the New York musical world. She achieved her peak as the leading lady of one of the great musicals, the almost operatic "The Most Happy Fella" by Loesser in 1956.

Three years later she married Loesser and retired from the stage to become the mother of Hannah and Emily, now 11 and nine years old, respectively. i Loesser's untimely death turned her into a businesswoman, and in 1973 she married Jack Osborn, head of an industrial design firm who likes the theater but has nothing whatever to do with Frank Music. with an inquiry from London about the possibility of doing a stage musical built around Loesser's score. "Meanwhile, I had been digging into Frank's voluminous files and found three numbers he had written for the movie that were not used," Mrs. Osborn said.

"We also decided to included In the stage score three of his songs from other sources that fitted the mood of a stage musical about Andersen." Whatever its fate, London's "Hans Christian Andersen" is first class all the way. The producer is Harold Fielding, Britain's premier producer of musicals. The star is Tommy Steele as Andersen, probably the most popular of all English players in the variety musical field. The book is by erly Cross, who wrote Steele's tremendously successful show of a few years ago, "Half a Sixpence," which also was a Broadway hit. "The last I heard," Mrs.
