Winston Hibler produced and Robert Stevenson directed for Buena Vista release. Hobbies? Actor Donald Sinden Has a Million of Them Donald Sinden, one of England's foremost actors, has so many hobbies he hardly has time for acting. "I collect hobbies. The way other people have hobbies, I've got hundreds of them," he says. "I don't go to the cinema, I don't go to the theater, I don't watch television, I have no idea what's going on at all. I just devote myself to my hobbies." Submerged in history, ec- clesiology, genealogy, an- tiquarianism and theatrical memorabilia, Sinden comes up for air only to sit on "thousands of committees." He barely is able to squeeze in a meal, much less make room for the multitudinous demands of an acting role. Still hfe^managed to co-star in Walt Disney Productions' epi£ screen ad­ venture, "The Island at the Top of the World," but not--heaven forbid!--at the expense of his hobbies. "I always carry a briefcase, you see, with my latest news and notes, and I write letters to people all over the world," he says. "I am working on the Sinden family tree and indeed, while in America, I spent a lot of my time contacting other Sindens there. Then I have my maps at hand. I study church ar­ chitecture--I am one of those idiots who likes to climb over the roofs and up in the belfrys and everywhere, measuring and drawing old churches. With my maps all ready, I know which churches to visit and where they are." During his 25 years of star­ dom, Sinden has played more than a hundred roles. Often he does a film or TV show by day, while appearing on the stage by night. At the same time he continues to serve in varying capacities with seven prominent theatrical organizations. He is a founder and chairman of the British Theater Museum Association, which sprang from another Sinden hobby. "I am one of those mad­ dening people who collect theatrical memorabilia- photos, letters, programs, playbills and such. Others were collecting costumes and relics, swords and daggers and wigs and makeup boxes and things like that. So we formed a committee to establish a theater museum for scholastic use and public enjoyment. We have three storage rooms of theatricalia, much of it left to us by old actors and actresses when they sadly passed on," he says. Sinden was born in Plymouth, England, and became an actor as a teenager during World War II. He matured into Shakespearean roles, then film leads ranging from "The Cruel Sea" to "The Day of the Jackal." He left the long-run stage hit, "London Assurance," to do "The Island at the Top of the World," in which he portrays an explorer who finds a mysterious arctic valley inhabited by lost Vikings. His co-stars are David Hartman, Jacques Marin,. Mako, David Gwillim and Agneta Eckemyr. Adapted from Ian Cameron's novel by screenwriter John Whedon, the color by Technicolor production was directed by Robert Stevenson and produced by Winston Hibler for Buena Vista release. David Gwillim Follows Dad's Footsteps With Stellar Role in Disney Adventure Making a movie at Walt Disney Studios is often a family affair. The children of stars there are likely to turn up on the screen themselves, and over the years the studio has welcomed Helen Hayes and her son James MacArthur, Kirk Douglas and son Michael, John Mills and daughter Hayley, Bing Russell and son Kurt, and three generations of Wynns, from Ed to Keenan to Ned. Now comes David Gwillim, son of Jack. Thirteen years after his dad co-starred as the missing Captain Grant of "In Search of the Castaways," David is playing the missing Donald Ross in Disney's adventure epic, "The Island at the Top of the World." As a young ex­ plorer lost in the arctic who takes refuge among Vikings in a time-forgotten valley, David makes his film debut opposite David Hartman, Donald Sinden, Jacques Marin, Mako and Agneta Eckemyr. Gwillini, who lives in London, has just returned after visiting his father in New York when he was paged for the Disney role. En route to the studio he flew over the North Pole, where his part in the picture takes place. "It's a very mysterious, exciting region," he said. "You look down and you see the meetings and also will present an overview of the many and varied ministries of Moody Bible Institute. A second showing of the special will be aired on WFLD, channel 32 on March 7 at 10:30- 11:30 p.m. cracked ice. It appears desolate, empty, and strangely romantic." With his father in the theater and raised in that environment, David Gwillim gravitated toward acting at an early age. He was educated at prep school in Woking, Surrey, and Gor- donstoun Public School, where he was a classmate of Prince Charles. At the age of 16 he played Pistol in a school production of Henry V and from then on. he says, his course was clear. "I entered the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London, spent two and a half years there, and left in December, 1969, at the age of 21 to begin my professional career." Since then Gwillim has ap­ peared on stage in such diverse productions as "Peer Gynt," a musical version of "Tom Brown's School Days," and Robert Bolt's "Vivat, Vivat Regina." At one point he toured Japan in a Royal Shakespeare Company presentation of "Twelfth Night". Also in the cast was actor Donald Sinden's son Jeremy. Gwillim plays Sinden's son in "The Island at the Top of the World." Gwillim's television credits include "Arms and the Man," "The Railwayman's New Clothes," and "The Public Eye." After playing a han­ dicapped football hero in "General Hospital" for Britain's ATV, he flew from London to the Disney Studios in Burbank, California for his motion picture bow. Gwillim was an outstanding .

FORMAL WEAR RENTAL for ALL OCCASIONS fclli § Staud ....it 1214 N. Green St., McHenry David Hartman is a Positive Thinker Who's Almost too Good to be Trne HOLLYWOOD--Whoever said that nice guvs finish last didn't know David Hartman. Rich, famous, and a star, he is in the front ranks of his calling. He is also pure pussycat, almost if not entirely too good to be true. Hartman is a positive thinker. He cares, really cares, about people and the world he lives in "It's a matter of attitude,"^ie says, "I think we have so feW days in our lives, why not make the most of them? There are ° 'no' people and 'yes' people. I think it's important to be a 'yes' person." By setting goals for himself, then getting up in the morning and doing something about them, Hartman parlayed a 60- second commercial into a four- year television series and the leading role in Walt Disney Productions' multi-million dollar epic screen adventure, "The Island at the Top of the World." "Back in 1966 when I was touring in summer stock with "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes,' I decided to get involved in films and TV," Hartman says. "I went to Hollywood and did a one-minute commercial. A TV producer saw it and gave me a studio contract. That led to my role of Dr. Paul Hunter in 'The Bold Ones.' When the series ended I began looking for a film role and found it at Disney." He plays an American archaeologist in the studio's story about four polar ex­ plorers in 1907 who discover a mysterious land inhabited by lost Vikings. Tall, craggy, with an athlete's build and an easv smile, Hartman is the son of an ebullient mother and a Methodist minister who became an advertising account executive. Although both are dead, Hartman talks about them frequently. "They had a great appetite for living. They were full of excitement, full of enthusiasm about everything. "What they gave my two brothers and me is a positive attitude toward life, an awareness of the joy of living. They believed that problems and challenges are exciting, not terrible, and that meeting them realistically helps one grow as a human being." By practicing what his parents preached, Hartman gets a lot of fun out of life and he enjoys sharing it. He is constantly making public appearances for worthwhile causes, particularly if they involve young people. "I am not really a do- gooder," he says, "but I try to touch someone in the hope it will help enrich his life. "Young people are the most valuable resource that we have. They are not only our future, they have the potential to solve many world problems that are getting out of hand." In "The Island at the Top of the World" Hartman heads an international cast including Donald Sinden, Jacques Marin, Mako, David Gwillim and Agneta Eckemyr. The color by Technicolor production was directed by Robert Stevenson and produced by Winston Hibler for Buena Vista release. John Whedon wrote the screenplay from a book by Ian Cameron. tennis player in prep school. He enjoys the game, football is his favorite spectator sport, and he is keenly interested in politics. Beyond that most of his pastimes are related to work. Unmarried, he belongs to a musical group called "All Jelly," composed of four actors and two playwrights. He is the songwriter. 10th CENTURY VIKING VILLAGE BUILTFOR "THE ISLAND AT THE TOP OF THE WORLD" Eric the Red would have felt right at home during filming of Walt Disney Productions' "The Island at the Top of the World." Set in 1907, the multi-million dollar screen adventure takes four explorers to a mysterious arctic valley, warmed by volcanic heat and inhabited by Vikings. The Old Norse set­ tlement was a masterly recreation, right out of the 10th century. "We went straight to the textbooks for it," said production designer Peter Ellenshaw. "We used hand-hewn lumber for the houses and built a temple of lava rock. We used 850 feet of coconut fiber rope, handmade in Egypt, to hold up a suspension bridge. "We found a half-finished Viking longship in a Danish boat yard, took over its com­ pletion, added a few decorative touches and moved it to our location at Balestrand, Nor­ way. "We reproduced hand-carved furniture, sledges and other Viking artifacts. Then, when the village was ready, we populated it with Scandinavian actors." Among them were Lasse Kolstad, Rolf Soder, Bunnar Ohlund, Niels Hinrichsen, Sverre Ousdal and Torsten Wahlund, star names in Scandinavia. Besides playing a Viking farmer in the picture, Norwegian actor-singer Kolstad served as technical adviser. He translated portions of the script into ancient Norse, the language of the Vikings.
