PAOC12 by Joey Sasso CONFIDENTIAL REPORT: Being one of the notorious Ew- ings of "Dallas" fame isn't all fun and games. With the writers' strike now history, it's also two to three months of six-day weeks in the sort of heat only Texas can produce. "You look up the word 'hot' in Webster's dictionary and they've got a picture of Dallas," Victoria Principal told me. The cast of the biggest blockbuster in series televi­ sion history ran afoul of the writers' strike with only five segments--including the one involving that mysterious body in J.R.'s swimming pool--in the can. But Principal said all will be ready when CBS decides to launch. Mean­ while, under the tutelage of boyfriend Andy Gibb and under the drive of her contract to peddle hair products on the tube, Victoria has. not been idle. She has iust released her first single, "All I Have To Do Is Dream, ana the pros­ pect of any Emmy wouldn't excite her more. All of which goes to show that nothing breeds stardom so well as star­ dom itself. .. Actress Jacqueline Bisset says she plans to make another film now that she's completed "Rich arid Famous," but that she hasn't decided what it is to be. In an interview published in the current (September) issue of Oui magazine, Bisset says that her new film is "a fast- paced comedy/drama, a woman's picture." She made the film together with partner William Allyn and with George Cukor as director. "I never expected being a pro­ ducer to be easy, and so far, it isn't. On 'Rich and Famous,' I had to watch everything all the time. I had an acute sense of responsibility. But it was worth it." TV BACKSTAGE: Michael Landon may be set to bury "Little House on the Prairie," but he's not through with television or the Wild West. "Little Hous^f' is now going in­ to its eighth year, and its last as far as Landon is concern­ ed. "If NBC wants to do something with the kids, we'll figure something out," he says. "But I don't want to be in­ volved in it. Eight years is long enough.vl want to do other things." The talented Landon has already created a new series, which will premiere on NBC this fall. It's called "Father Murphy" and will star giant "Little House" regular Merlin Olsen. The 6' 5" Olsen will play a gold miner who dons monk's robes to save an orphanage. The idea was inspired by Olsen's size, says Landon, who will write, pro­ duce and direct the show. TV CLOSEUP: When doctors tune in to TV medical shows they're frequently amazed at the high standards of ac­ curacy in the Hollywood-created hospitals. The actors who play TV docs owe their medical training to Dr. Walter Dishell, a Beverly Hills, California, surgeon who works as technical advisor to shows like "M*A*S*H," "House Calls," and "Trapper John, M.D." "I got into show business in a very strange way," Dr. Dishell told me. "I met the producer of the now-defunct show 'Medical Center' about 10 years ago in a delicatessen in Los Angeies. They were producing the pilot for the melodramatic 'Medical Center' at the time, but they weren't happy with the doctors they had working with them. I was a resident in surgery at the time and they gave me a try. I worked on that show for over seven years!" Because of his good work on that show, Dr. Dishell soon found himself being invited to lielp the writers of "M*A*S*H." SUNDAY, SEPT. * Down*.
