2D Hid Journal Timos, Friday, Doc. 9, 19fifi Wis Presley Her life, In short, was fascinating If not always easy. She met Elvis one night when she was 14, chastely shared his mansion at 16, became his Mrs. and his good luck charm at 22. Obviously, life with Elvis gave her fame and fortune.

She travels under an assumed name with a huge bodyguard in tow. Even now, many of Elvis' fans refuse to let her go on with her life. When she had her son (by beau Marco Garibaldi), many of his fans felt betrayed. "It's true," Presley said. "I do have a new life.

His fans sometimes have a tendency to want to keep in the past. But I had to move on." Presley also wants the world to know that her celebrity has at times, ironically, worked against her in securing acting work. "It's amazing but true. You constantly nave to prove yourself." (Continued from Paga Wl After five years of the turgidity and turbidity that "Dallas" is known for, Presley was ready for some lauhfi. The slower working pace of a feature film also allowed her more time to be with her son, Navarone Garibaldi, now 20 months old.

Cutting her teeth in film was no easy task either. "I was exhausted," noted Presley. "I tired myself out from laughing all the time and also trying to keep a straight face. If we laughed on there was no problem getting into the seriousness of the moment, but this? I know we did three, four, five takes for every scene. I mean, you had to laugh.

But you couldn't laugh. It was not easy." Her life, which began as Priscilla Bcaulicu (pronounced Bowl-year), was as an Air Force brat in Brooklyn. (The family later moved to Connecticut.) Wilburys (Continued from Paga 1D) cord. "Volume One" sounds like a group of friends, albeit extremely talented friends, enjoying them- selves together. All five trade lead and backing vocals and strum guitars.

The results are a cross between Harrison's early '70s solo work and the electronic flourishes Lynne brought to the Electric Light Orchestra. Orblson's "Not Alone Any More" is in the vein he's mined for a quarter-century and the three songs Dylan dominates are some of his best work in year. The song "Dirty World" pokes fun at Prince with a series of sexual double-entendres and the wickedly funny "Tweeter and the Monkey Man" is littered with Bruce Springsteen references. The record was a true collabo for Instance, he and Dylan spoke ly-' rics into a tape recorder then edited them into a story. Other Wilburys added the chorus, he said.

Credit non-rocker, Prince Charles of Great Britain, with the name Traveling Wilburys, Petty said. Harrison and Lynne performed at the Prince's Trust concert last year and were complimented by the host following the show, he, said. The prince said the two should form a band, and when they asked for a name, he suggested the Traveling Wilburys, Petty said. The quintet quickly adopted the persona. Harrison is Identified throughout as Nelson Wilbury, Lynne is Otis Wilbury, Orbison is Lefty Wilbury and Dylan's called Lucky.

"Besides, it's nice to be remembered for something that is wholesome and that the audience liked. "You know, people don't meet me on the street and say, 'Yuck, I saw you on They walk up and say, 'Hey, Alice, how are you Although best remembered by the 70's generation as housekeeper Alice, to older folks Davis will always be Schultzy, the role she played for five years on "The Bob Cummings Show." Casually admitting that "I was never the leading lady type, even in my prime," Davis says she has no qualms about spending her career as a second banana. "Oh, gosh, playing those roles gives you all the good stuff to do," she said.

"In the 'Brady for instance, I got to be best buddies with the kids and best buddies with the adults. That was a great spot to be in." The spot she's in jiow is pretty great too, she says. She doesn't actively seek acting work, although it occasionally seeks her, she said. That leaves her plenty of time to serve as a volunteer in a homeless shelter in Denver, where her duties include what else? doing laundry and keeping house. "They figured they'd put my previous work experience to good use," she said with a chuckle.

"So when we get together now, it's much more like a family thing," she added. "We want to know what each other is doing, and what's happened to so-and-so, and how is that working out and all that sort of Btuff." Davis joins Robert Reed, Florence Henderson and five of the original six Brady kids (Only Susan Olsen, who played Cindy, won't return) in "A Very Brady Christmas," which airs Dec.

18 at 8 p.m. on channels 2 and 6. The telefilm marks the third time "The Brady Bunch" has been resurrected since it left the air in 1974. It was preceded by "The Brady Bunch Variety Hour" (1977) and "The Brady Brides" (1981). Davis, whose Alice returns to the Brady fold in the new movie after being ditched by her husband, says people are interested in the further exploits of the now-grown Greg and Peter and Bobby and Marcia and Jan and Cindy because the original series a perennial in rerurn syndication was such a family show.

"When the show first came out now I'm talking 19 years ago there was a whole spate of stuff that was on television that was slice-of-life, and that always meant something rotten," she explained. "And plopped in the middle of that was this 'life-as-we'd-like-it-to-be series called 'The Brady "It was basically aimed toward young people, but at the same time we didn't want any adult who happened to be wandering through the living room at the time to throw up or anything," she added. Despite the show's success, critics were never very kind to "The Brady Bunch," labeling it unrealistic fluff.
