The telethon's lineup of about100 entertainers is being developed by the Pasadena, Calif., oeuvre partnership of Russ Reid. Among many signed up so far are Paul Newman, Jack Lemmon, Mary Tyler Moore, John Forsythe, Kris Kristofferson, Sally Kellerman, Dennis Weaver, Helen Reddy, Woody Herman, Hal Linden, Rita Moreno, Carmen McRae, Bea Arthur and Jean Stapleton, said Ron Holder, subordinate to endowment mould Bob Precht. But not all the repute appearances worked out! Jane Fonda has failed her fund-raising audition with the Democratic National Committee.
The DNC plans to adapt her out of the portions of its Memorial Day telethon that it will rebroadcast as toss one's hat in the ring specials next year. Fonda was deemed too dialectic for the shows, which will be test-marketed next month. Her air on Memorial Day generated hundreds of anti call calls and letters. Apparently, many still muse of her in the lines of the left-wing activist who visited Hanoi, and not that of the physically apt charitable she now plays. Says one DNC official, "It's as if they adage Jane Fonda on the gauge and abruptly it was the '60s again.".
