J. ,L . vf' - . i - A RiiiiiiniiiiuiiiiiiiuniinnuiiiiiiiininiimitmmiiHniniiimnmmntn By HOWARD PEARSON Deseret News Television Editor E. J. Peaker, the actress who is becoming popular this season because of the Thats Life series, got her big boost in show business because an agent thought she was 'the farm-gir- l type. This is the way she tells it: I had just returned to New York from a tour with Bye, Bye, Birdie. I got a supply of dimes and the telephone numbers of all the agents in town. The third agent said he would see me and when I went to his office, he offered to subsidise singing lessons and contribute $50 for cab fare. I asked him what the catch was. He responded, Til bet youre going to make a fortune in commercials because tiny-featur- a such youre farm-gir- l type. Eventually, I did 53 commercials and they paid the rent." Miss Peaker (the E. J. stands for Edra Jean) is a product of the Mountain West- - Her father is a consulting geologist and much of his work has been done in Wyoming, Colorado and New E. J. had fallen in love with; the entertainment world when" she was a child. "I saw. Dumbo at a movie : in house (c) Denotes color. Thermopolis, 5:00 move; my mother recalls, until I saw it several more times. I was going to be an entertainer after that I went into every school play possible in high school. When it came time for college, there wasnt enough money in the family (she has 7 brothers and sisters) so I wrote a letter to the head of the University of New Mexicos drama department and said I would sweep out the theater or do anything to get into the , school. He accepted my application. In my freshman year, I swept out, sewed costumes and packed arouna curtains which I had made on a work scholarship, but I got to act, which is what I wanted. x After a year at the University of New Mexico, she decided she had had enough experience there, so applied for a scholarship to the University of Vienna, which she won the fact she had no foreign language experience. 4 Mavtrfck (hour). 7 11 I crammed and learned German in the three months I had before I had to report to Vienna, she continued. Her scholarship was renewed for a second year and she sang in a Viennese nightclub to pay her fare back and forth. After another year, she went to New York and landed the role in Bye, Bye. Birdie as a member of a chorus. After that companys tour ended, she met the agent In New Yoric, then moved to Hollywood, where she was In several seriea as a guest star. That takes her up to last year, when she won a $500 scholarship. ; Then she won toe part In Thats life, which was to be produced in New York. However, at the same time, she received a good role in Hello, Dolly, which was being made in Hollywood. For the first time, a Hollywood producer decided to change his schedule. He shot the first four episodes of Thats Life in Hollywood so E. J. could do both Thats Life and Hello, Dolly. Now shes in New York. She expects the series to go at least two years, but the latest ratings have It way down so it might not last out this season. ? Regardless, audiences will be hearing much of E. J. Shell find a new series, a movie or a nightdub show. This V That Although many fans are asking that Bobby Sherman and Brigetto Hanley be allowed to get married on Here Come toe BrijleS, the producer says there are no plans for such an event yet. They get engaged on a future episode, but then decide they arent ready for marriage. IJourney to toe Unknown is expected to get the axe before the; season is half over. Its way down in the ratings.
