Show ENTERTAINMENT JENNIFER EDWARDS: Is She the New Shirley Temple? Formula Two for refief of Bronchial Congestion, Bronchial Asthaa. Blake Edwards, admitted she had. "Well, I want to be Heidi." At about the same time, producer Fred Brogger was thinking; of "Heidi," too, but for more professional reasons. He had just spesigned a contract to film a cial for NBC, based on the famous Johanna Spyri novel, which has been done several times before, most successfully with Shirley Temple some 30 years ago. Jennifer's dream would come true but not until 187 little girls were auditioned for the part by Brogger and Academy g director Delbert Mann. "It was a difficult task," Mann recalls. "The character of Heidi is the focal point of the entire project. Most of the children we interviewed were too inexperienced." As the date for location shooting in Switzerland approached and still no Heidi was found, the project came within two weeks of abandonment, when Brogger ran into Edwards. Told the problem, Blake suggested Jennifer. "She came to see me by herself," Mann recalls. "Although she grew up in a environment, she had no No show-bi- z mannerisms. Just a straightforwardness and naturalness exactly what we were looking for." The film, to be shown tonight, is charming, with Jennifer excelling as "Heidi" and yet, strangely, both Jennifer and her mother regret the whole experience. er With BronkaidTablets, you enjoy amazing help In one two-wa- y combination tablet.

There is a scene in front of the mountain cabin Heidi shares with her grandfather when she puts her hand in his, with tears in her eyes. It was reshot 10 times. Each time Jennifer had the right expression on her face and tears in her eyes. Mann says he never has seen such response in a child. As a result, her performance was far more convincing than Shirley Temple's. And, although cast opposite Maximilian Schell, Jean Simmons, Walter Slezak, and Sir Michael Redgrave Jennifer them all. So where does she go from here? If her mother has her way, it will be back to school and to a normal home life.

Mrs. Edwards once an actress herself hates everything about show business at this stage, and the bitterness shows through. "The film was done against my wishes, before I had custody of Jennifer. It was bad for her. Now, every time she visits Blake and her stepmother (actress Julie Andrews, who isn't her stepmother yet) in Dublin, she comes back a bore. Why can't she be left alone? I don't want her to be in any more films." In spite of the attention she received, and having a father who is one of Hollyn wood's directors, Jennifer did not become spoiled.
