Some magazines dislike going to press without Sellecks kisser on their covers, no matter how remote the story, because he is as much a phenomena of the '80s as Farrah Fawcett was in the '70s. He recognizes the perils of overexposure and, doubtless, the fate Farrah. suffered by Selleck confines his appearances to his series and movies, eschewing talk shows and other public appearHe ances for says, I dont want people to get tired of me. "Im trying to be selective. Im making good money doing Magnum. I could make a lot more depending on how much I want to sell myself. "BUT I DONT want to be all over the tube endorsing products. Im not putting down commercials. They saved my life. But viewers know I make a good living and if they see me selling soap, I think they kind of resent it. And Im not sure they dont have a right to. This has been the busiest year of my life. Immediately after Magnum ended I left for Yugoslavia for High Road to China, after k vacawhich I planned a six-wee- tion.

China again and subsequently to Hawaii to begin the new season. Selleck stole a day to dash to Hollywood for an appearance on the Emmy show. Of the new shows with dashing young leading men, Selleck said, "I dont know that it has anything to do with me, but Im glad there are new series providing work for some people. I wish them all well. Im kinda glad I work in Hawaii because Im better able to keep out of the public eye. I work so hard and so long, I need time ta myself. Its critical when I average 12 hours a day, six days a week. The schedule prevents me from doing movies Id like and makes me wonder if theyll still want me when I do have some free time. Are they going to be tired of me? You know, how many tricks do I have? SELLECK IS impressed with his opportunity to work with the likes of Ross, Bo Olsen and other established performers. SELF-EFFACIN- "The public may consider me at a he said, but any certain level, time I work with someone of stature Im thrilled that they consider me a peer. The macho image bothers me. Im asked about it in interviews I say, I dont think you watch our show. They want to talk about this big, macho guy and sex symbol. When "Most of the time Im not getting the girl. I am a big klutz a lot of the time. Magnum was trained in naval intelligence and can handle himself but more often than not, he fails. THEY MAY LOOK at the 8x10 glossies of me holding a gun but I dont see our show that way. I guess I dont take myself as seriously as some people do. Im also asked about taking my shirt off, but weve got it down to swimming trunks when Im swimming. Its not that comfortable in the artificial surroundings of a movie set to run around with your shirt off. But I feel comfortable with Magnum and I'm happy the show is doing so well. I just hope we can keep it up."
