Most of them moonlight by doing strawhat stage productions, television movies, club dates or state fairs. One of the few whos taking a real holiday is Richard Bull. On television hes the henpecked Mr. Oleson in NBCs Little House on the Prairie. In real life he is congenially married to Barbara Collentine of whom he says, She is such a good actress, I know she should work more. When we appeared in California in The Gin Game, a critic compared us favorably to Hume Cronyn and Jessica Tandy, and thats praise indeed. But Bobbie and I both love to travel so much that were not going to do any stage work this summer. Were going to travel the whole summer in Europe, and were adding a pew stop: Wales. No, neither of us has roots there, just its a place we havent seen before. Except for a couple of weeks at his old Kentucky home (a farmhouse built by his great grandfather) Gary Sandy, who has an even higher energy quotient than as Andy the program director on CBSs WKRP in Cincinnati, will be out on the summer circuit in Ohio and with Michigan Lorna Luft in Grease. Its a change of pace, says Gary, so he loves the idea.

He especially would not want to do Grease, because he had his fill of it as the lead in a Broadway and Chicago cast that also included John Travolta. He and his wife Pam Serpe, who is his manager, agree that this is the summer to stay home in their country-Frenc- h spread in the Hollywood Hills. But not to laze around. Greg, who has been composing music since his teens, has an album deal pending and what used to be their guest house is now a fully equipped studio to speed the recording project to fruition. Besides, Greg has some summer variety specials coming up on television: guesting for Pink Lady and later Deb-b- y stage during Boone. Little Gary Coleman, who spent last years vacation doing the movie, The Kid from Left Field, already knows what hell be doing until his series, Diffrent Strokes, calls him back for another NBC season. The ASK ME ABOUT TV By VAL CAREW GLAMOUR QUEEN - audience the squealed with delight at seeing two of their favorites performing together. According to Kristofferson, who will appear on the special, Johnny Cash: The First 25 Years, to be broadcast Thursday, May 8, on CBS, much of his success as a performer is due to the encouragement of Johnny Cash. I cant overestimate the importance Johnny Cash had on my career, Kristofferson said. He and his people have been my models. Kristofferson was on his way to a teaching job at West Point when he decided he would take a stab at songwriting and headed for Nashville instead. He worked as a bartender and also as a janitor at CBS Records, meanwhile convinced there had to be some way to bring his songs to someones attention. Kristofferson was a member of the National Guard when he landed a helicopter t ft r 'f I t I t ! iU 5 TALL BARITONE -,- My friend and I have been having an argument about Robert Goulets height.

Melissa Gilbert is another of TVs young talents who wont be idle.

I remember she was once married to Robert Taylor. Was she ever married to anyone else? A.H., Evansville, Ind. Yes. She was married first to actor Frank Fay, who created the role of Elwood P. Dowd in Harvey. They married in 1928 and divorced in 1935. They had a son Dion. She and Taylor married in 1939 and divorced in 1952. He died in in 1969. POINT OF REFERENCE Can you tell me if Jerry D. Victor, Lewis is old? Lubbock, Texas Well, it depends on where you are standing. To George Burns, Lewis, who is 54, is young. To Justin Henry, the little boy in Kramer vs. Kramer, he is old. You know bow old you are, so now answer the question yourself. I ABOUT THE DUKE have made a bet with a friend o that the man who played Patty Dukes father on her TV series, the one where she played two roles, is the man she married. Am I right?
