XQ Part Mar. 28, 1972 JOYCE HABER gpg flngfltd mmtt distinguished company: He'll re-create his excellent stage portrait of "Hadrian VII" on film, The director will be John Schlesinger, which isn't bad. The Columbia movie shoots in Italy in the fall Hal Ashby and has a project in mind for Carole King, the quadruple-Grammy winner' and lady of the tapestries. Ashby wants Carole to warble pastoral tunes in a folk opera set in midwestern wheat fields. All of it sounds like a sort of updated "Sea of Grass." Miss Harvey said she really didn't fancy Marlon: "I mean I found him attractive because of his personality, but when you first meet him he's quite a fat little guy, and so unpretentious.

I suppose he looks smaller than he Is because he's got a little paunch." Another eminent actor, Britain's Alec McCowen, is making "Travels With My Aunt" for Robert Fryer. The scene is Madrid. The title role, once cast with Katharine was taken over by -the more amenable (even, yes, I'll say it, the more professional) effervescent Maggie Smith. McCowen, on his next, will also be in very New Hollywood Even in London LONDON The New Hollywood is not only there, but everywhere, as you've often heard. I was reminded of that the moment I stepped off my plane at London's Heathrow Airport There in customs, along with me, were Suzanne (Mrs.

Billy explained they went to Robert Mitchum and he said (Kirk used a southern drawl) 'I don't want to play with no black They went to Marlon Brando and Marlon said 'yeah, I'll be in the picture, but I want to play the black They went to Kirk Douglas and he said 'okay I'll do it, but I want to play BOTH So Billy knows me," said Kirk, "very well." Kirk had flown from Rome, where he's making his 51st film "A Man to Respect." He tipped the audience to his plans for his next: He'll become a kind of one-man studio, producing, directing and starring in "Scalawag." The movie, which he described as "a charming adventure story set in 1840 about a one-legged bandit and a young boy, was written by Sid Fleischman.

Kirk will start shooting in Yugoslavia in June. More Talk About Brando Starlets-Even-in-London-Will-Be-Starlets Ver-na Harvey, a newcomer who plays opposite Marlon Brando in Michael Winner's upcoming "The Nightcom-ers," uttered the nasty put-down of the week. Asked about Brando, the prominent U.S. thespian who's drawn raves and cover stories for his role as "The Godfather," IaI Miss Gabor didn stay long. A muggy noontime vision in her floor-length white Halston and floor-length evening coat of white mink I just don't know about all this Zsa Zsa was quickly cleared by her majesty's men to pose for a slew of waiting photographers.

Honor for Kirk Douglas That is not to mention Ann and Kirk Douglas.

Kirk's being honored with a retrospective by the British Film Institute. Kirk, like Otto, appeared at the National Film Theater in discussion with Michael Parkinson, the British TV talkman who's hailed as "the new David Frost." During a question-and-answer session, one of the English film buffs asked Kirk's name. "My name was originally Issur Danielovitch, which is "A doubly welcome addition to the year's pleasures startling, engrossing, affecting and impassioned, warm and human!" Ciarfii CWpfiit Wickedly N.Y.0-r,Kw The Sorrow and The Pity a wonderful name if you want to be a dancer," quipped Kirk. "The public decides what you are," he continued. "I played a soft guy at first Barbara Stanwyck's husband in 'Martha Ives' and a schoolteacher in 'Letter to Three But when I made 'Champion' people pointed and said 'that's the real Kirk Douglas that no-good, lousy, s.o.b."
