Today, a remnant of that once vast area is the subject of "Rain Forest." to air Wednesday, Jan. 12 on PBS (Air dates may vary; please check local listings.) The premiere of the 1983 National Geographic specials focuses on the 17 months that cmematographers David and Carol Hughes spent in the dense rain forests of Costa Rica. Their exceptional camera work lets the viewer in on the secrets of the rain forest and is the signature of this h<our-long program. Richard Kiley's narration is soothing and neatly uti­ lizes silence when the wonders of nature speak for them­ selves. ' The producers' worry is that the three-million square mile area will be gone within their lifetime due to overzealous developers destroying the timberland at the staggering rate of 3.000 acres an hour. Conservationists worldwide are trying to stop this destruction. Much of the rain forest area has barely been studied, but it has already been proved that many valu­ able medicines come from the area's plants and animals. For the eighth consecutive year, the Gulf Oil Corporation is the sole underwriter for the National Geographic series T^ey have recently endorsed their commitment through the . "^5 season with total funding during this period exceedtr^ i36 million. (§) 1983 Compulog By STEVE K. WALZ 'Tales' doesn't make monkey of Caitlin Filming "Rain Forest," the premiere episode of the 1983 National Geographic Specials on PBS. Veterar? New York stage actress Caitlin (pro­ nounced Cathleen) O'Hea- ney wasn't a big fan of series television, but the economy forced her to abandon the Big Apple for Hollywood and so far the switch has been successful. • Miss O'Heaney co-stars in ABC's "Tales of the Gold Monkey," playing the classy Sara White, an American spy who uses the cover of'a torch singer in the South Pacific. "One of the reasons I did this series is because it Is- so different. It isn't your basic sitcom," she says. "Originally I auditioned for 'The Quest.' I just need­ ed a job, because last year was the roughest year in my career. I'd been in New York for the last 12 years doing stagework but I decided that I couldn't turn my nose up at jobs. "I didn't get 'Quest,' so I figured I'd turn around and go home. But then Univer­ sal Productions asked me to read for 'Gold Monkey,' " she continues. "I didn't get that part either, but then ABC called me back and asked me to read for the part again. I liked the script and found out that Stephen Collins (who plays series 'star Jake Cutter) was going to star in it and I thought he had the same school of thought about TV as I did. and I was impressed. "Universal originally didn't think I fit the 'TV image.' I Icoked different from the typical TV woman and the part was originally written for a blonde. I guess I wasn't the kind of woman who had a 'Charlie's Angels' face But ABC liked me and I got the part anyway." "Gold Monkey." which borrows its action-adven­ ture format from "Raiders of the Lost Ark," hap been an interesting experience for Miss O'Heaney. She says, "I hope we veer away from pure action and see more of a human relationship develop between the characters. We've started on that somewhat. Jake and Sara haven't jumped into bed -- in 1938 the morals were different. Romance is much more important as far as I am concerned. Besides I think people are hungry for this kind of show with its mystery and romance. We've also reined in the violence aspect, too. @1983 Computog in the spotlight Caitlin O'Heaney
