I cd eve in holding Deuce and drawing to a Lull House there s calamity All around us. But you can t drive a Ferrari it 150 Miles an hour and worry about it you have to go Lor if Hamilton is easy to misread. I Imago As a Dandy is misleading. Beneath the Patina of elegant dilettante is a Tough minded actor and businessman who work hard All he while gently kidding himself. I m serious m working conditions to said but nol to the Point of insecurity. Most peo pfc in to Are worried about being cancelled. To me such things Are just temporary setbacks. There Are other things i can do in real estate the Stock Market business whatever. Being famous is a marvelous asset. You get off a plane anywhere and people ask if they know you which is great unless they ask if you re Tony Perkins or Warren Beatty. Look i be lasted 27 years in this business which is longer than Clark Gable did and i m still getting oilers to work in movies and to which is great. I never forget thai i m not being paid for doing nothing. I m perform ing a service people enjoy. Also i Don t forget that it does t pay to get excited about Success. It is always temporary. At the moment. I can t imagine anyone living a better life than i do. I truly enjoy life by Side stepping the negatives arid get no on with  Tom Selleck on keeping Cool by Bob Thomas associated press t of Selleck was on location on n Hospital grounds East of Diamond head filming Hist show with actress Gwen Verdo like All action series magnum . Has hurried atmosphere necessarily so because of the Large number of locations. Amid the hurly Burly though Sellack seems to retain a apr Krable Cairn i try not to push myself and that c nes from my Back ground in sports he said. Sometimes at night i see that i have 10 pages of script the following Day and i wonder where will it come Rorr i manage to find it because of my sports sports and my family Are my principal interests ii my body is jelling itself to slow Down i say of. That was True at the end of last season. For the first Lime in four years i did t make a film. Even though i had some excellent oilers. When your body is sending messages you d better  a future episode of the action series based in Hawaii concerns the search Lor magnum s Mother played by Verdon. Though still popular. Magnum took a nose dive last season when Bill Cosby ambled Back into series to a recent Nielsen report listed the Cosby show and the companion ratify ties in the first two spots. Magnum. Which plays opposite both was in 42nd place. I have a contract Tor this season and next Selleck said. I Don t know what will happen but i doubt if magnum will not be renewed. It s a real Good show with a real Good  after five years of residency Selleck considers Hawaii his Home. He also maintains a place in California. Though he clenches his weekends he makes appearances at volleyball tournaments and other events he recently participated in a Media panel Lor the society of professional journalists discussing his relation1with theme a. I level headed Nesa May Stem irom the lateness of his Fame he was 35 when magnum hit television born in Detroit Jan. 29, 1945, he grew up in san Fer Nando Valley winning an athletic scholarship to the University of Southern California. A strongly built 6 toot-4, he chose acting instead of professional sports. When i went on Job interviews they asked How old i was Selleck recalled. When i said 25, they would t believe me. I realized i was too Young to be a leading Man. So i would have to wait. Starting in 1967, i took acting  he was in Myra Breckinridge on Tho screen for about 40  but other jobs came slowly. To pay the rent he made to commercials 50 of Thorn i would rather take a commercial than a bad acting  he said. I also did a lot of carpentry on my own House and that kept me from going insane he added. The film and to roles improved and he made a special impression As the overbearing competitor of James Garner on the Rockford files. That led to magnum . Overnight Tup Reitars normally Jettison the people who helped them get there. Not Selleck. He still has the same agent and the same publicist. He was amused by the number of agents who were eager to handle him after he made it with magnum. When they said we had t met i could t resist telling some of them that i had been in their offices before hoping they would represent me he said. Hamilton s image As a Dandy is misleading. Hamilton War Skod several times previously by pro Ducer Aaron spoiling to join the dynasty cast. Al though he is busily preparing to produce and Star in love it second rite. Hamilton agreed to guest Star in 15 episodes of the prime time soap. Ii will be two years before Tove it second bite is ready for  Hamilton said. I was contemplating a Long tour to publicize the picture. Now i can stay at Home and do dynasty and get More publicity for the film than i could on tour. Also it s Nice working All Day with Fine people like John Forsythe. Linda fans and Joan Collins then getting a Lew Days off logo fishing with Ashley. And when i leave the series i can go right into production with my movie Selleck i Fry Nof to push myself Selleck has made movies including Vassiler. Coma seven minutes and daughters of satan. I d like to do them Over again but i like them All even though i took a Tot of bad raps from the critics. High Road to China grossed $60 million. Lassiter and runaway were not As successful but nobody lost Money on any of the pictures. I m proud of that he said. Selleck said it s hard to maintain a career when an actor receives so much exposure irom television. I wonder it there will Ever be careers again like the John Waynes the Gary Coopers the Jimmy stewarts. I just Hope to keep  i. Sec
