YOU'LL LAUGH AND LAUGH AND LAUGH. AnnGuarino, N. Y. Daily News JACK LGMMON ANN6 BANCROFT TH PRISriNCR What Fran Brill Knows By ROBERT WAHLS SIR JAMES BARRIE, the Scottish author of "Peter Pan," died in 937 and with him the vogue for his plays.

In life, Barrie was always dependent upon his leading: ladies, from Maude Adams to Helen Hayes. And today he owes a debt to Fran Brill, who is recreating his Maggie Wylie in "What Every Woman Knows" at the Roundabout, 833 W. 23d St. It's a beguiling performance. A slim actress with gray-green eyes, chiseled features and an aquiline nose, Fran has been uncelebrated in Manhattan, although she is national soap opera image as the TV star of "How to Survive a Marriage," for which she just won an award.

Oddly enough, "What Every Woman Knows" is another lesson in the survival of a marriage. "Personally, I don't believe in marriage," Miss Brill declared over chicken salad last week. "I've never been married, and I never want to be. I think marriage takes all the romance out of a relationship. Yes, I do have a gentleman caller.

"Of course, my mother was ill most of her life, and I rather raised myself. But I remember she kept telling me to stay a virgin, stay a virgin. It seemed very important to her. Not to me. "I think all this women's lib is a lot of phooey.

I'm sick of it. I'm bored with Maggie Wylie. She's the kind of woman who doesn't exist much any SCQND AVcNUc SEE Pryavrsiofi Tecrtrncoloi 9 From warnet Bros fpgl A Warner Communicai ons Compony dj exPuooE 2nd BIG WEEK FRENCH IN THE ALL NEW, r.ivnmm GOtMECtlM lit A WHOLE NEW SET UP.

She's the kind of woman who can be supportive without saying: 'Look what I did for you' all the iiwe. She carries her secret with pleasure." The daughter of a Swarthmore, general practitioner, Dr. Joe Brill, who, Fran says, still makes house calls, she almost became a professional ice skater. "It's just that when I was 15 I got into summer stock Belleport, L.I. and Backs County Pa.

It worked out to be acting. And at Boston University I majored in acting. "Look, I'm not the kind of girl who finds her identity in the roles I play. Not at all, I'm a person first, well organized, who makes plans that always get screwed up. I never intended to come to Broadway, but I arrived in that satire on Lester Maddox, 'Red, Blue and straight from Atlanta.

Off to the Big Apple "I was working at the Thomas WTolfe Playhouse in Ashville and went over to see friends and was hired. Atlanta closed the show, to national publicity, and Ed Padula brought us here. I'd intended to job myself out to regional theater first." Fran found herself living at theatrical rates In a 42d St. hotel. A girl was murdered on her floor, and she decided that "taking a pad with a girl friend offered fewer risks." "Another reason I haven't married is that I've always been financially independent.

I'm very successful in voiceovers for TV commercials, have a Kool Aid running now. I prefer them to visuals, because the pay is and the voiceover takes an hour instead of three on camera. Also, I'm not overexposed or identified visually with products." For her audition as Maggie, Fran modeled her hair after a Charles Daria Gibson drawing, wore a black floor-sweeping skirt and a turtle-neck ruffle. "I think you have to dress the part to help get the image to the director. Gene Feist told me the costume was decisive." Although she loves acting, Fran doesn't want to work all the time.

On free weekends she commutes with her gentleman caller to a rented house in the middle of a potato field in a small town near Bridge- bampton. Paul Rausch, the elected, is producer of the first hour-long daytime TV soap opera, "Another World." "I have nothing to do with that. But we did meet because Paul saw me on TV in 'How to Survive a I've also been a regular on Sesame Street as the only female Muppet." As an actress, Fran says she turns down parts she doesn't feel are right for her. She. turned down the recent Tennessee Williams play because she couldn't see herself as a 20-year-old gypsy dancer.
