‘Charlie’ says acting is work
United Press International
HOLLYWOOD — David Doyle, who stars with the three beauties
of "Charlie's Angels,” says, "If I lived the fantasies of male viewers I’d
be dead in 14 weeks.”
If Doyle chuckles and laughs a great deal, it’s because he fully
appreciates holding down television’s most joyful job.
His co-stars are Jaclyn Smith, Kate Jackson and Cheryl Ladd — all
young, gorgeous and nubile.
In the show’s premiere season his cup almost ran over. Last year
Farrah Fawcett, America’s darling, was part of the cast.
Doyle maintains his good humor no matter how often he’s asked his
reaction to being surrounded by television’s most attractive trio. He
replies that he goes home to another wonderful pair, wife Anne and
daughter Leah, 16.
But when he gets down to cases — and he earned a law degree —
Doyle says acting is work whether it’s with three pretty girls or three
dirty old men.
"The fact that I’m involved professionally every day with three
charming and beautiful women doesn’t make that much difference in
my personal attitude toward work,” he said.
"They are fellow performers, just as a group of men wovdd be. It
makes the scenery prettier, of course, and the jokes cleaner.”

Doyle is a committed Roman Catholic and deliriously happy in his
marriage. Still, he’s a youthful 47 and not altogether inattentive to the
constant exposure to full bosoms and well-turned legs.
Of h is day-to-day proximity to his co-stars Doyle says, “It’s a
catalyst to the concupiscence that we are all born with. Figure that
out.
“Ninety-five percent of the time our contact is restricted to work
ing conditions, so I rarely think of the girls on a personal level.
“Oh, I appreciate their femininity all right. I’m as aware of their
charms as any healthy male would be. I wake up every morning
delighted by the prospect of going to work. ”
He doesn’t consider himself a father image on the show, much less
a paternal figure to the girls when the cameras stop turning. He
thinks of his Bosley role as more avuncular than anything else.
Only one cloud shadows Doyle’s blue-sky approach to his job. In a
recent magazine story he was asked whether “Charlie’s Angels”
would survive Farrah’s highly publicized departure from the detec
tive series.
Doyle said that the second season would be as good or better than
ever.
“It’s come back to me that Farrah was hurt by my remark,” Doyle
said, displaying a rare frown.
“I wouldn’t hurt that wonderful girl’s feelings for the world. I’m
terribly fond of her. What I meant to say was that we had four months
more to work on scripts and the producers were better prepared this
season.
“After all, I’d never say the opposite — that the show probably
would be as good but not better. I wouldn’t say that about any project
I was connected with.
"And I know damned well Farrah would like to see the show keep
improving and get higher ratings. She is a sweet, unselfish girl.
"Last year the girls were honored on The People’s Choice
Awards.’ As they made their way to the stage, Farrah insisted I join
them. I wouldn’t have been a part of it all without Farrah’s thought
fulness. Of course I miss her. ”
Friendship aside, there is the ever-present peril that Doyle could
be lost in the shuffle of the show. The scripts are written to display as
much of the ladies as possible.
“You have to be a good actor to hold your own with three beautiful
girls,” he said. “But there is genuine rapport, affection and respect
among us.
Monopoly players gather
U.S. representative picked^
United Press International
NEW YORK — Go to jail. Go
directly to jail. Do not pass “Go. ”
Do not collect $200.
Nearly everyone living in the
United States since the Great
Depression knows the source of
those four imperatives is
Monopoly — one of the country’s
most popular table games.
Recently, at the Four Seasons
Restaurant, the five best
Monopoly players in the nation
gathered around a table strewn
with red hotels, green houses,
Chance and Community Chest
cards, and thousands of dollars in
sweaty play money.
They met to determine who
would represent the United
States at the World Monopoly
Championship in October at that
bastion of baccarat and other ex
pensive games of chance —
Monte Carlo.
A 20-by-20 foot playing board
with 15-inch thimbles, hats,
sports cars and other tokens was
erected for a morning celebrity
game. But in the afternoon.

familiar four-legged card table
and use dice that disappeared in

Four players representing four
regions of the country challenged
the defending champ, Gus Gos-
tomelsky, 41.
Gostomelsky was the first to
drop out, lasting just 35 minutes.
In the next 25 minutes, Steve
Gunn, 21, tin* Midwest champ,
and Lee Bayrd, 43, the West
Coast champ, both were elimi
nated.
For the last ten minutes of the
73-minute contest, Dana Ter-
man, 21, the East champ, and
John Buffa, 23, the South champ,
battled for hotels and houses.
Buffa built hotels on all the
orange properties. Terman
owned one vacant yellow lot and
built four houses each on those
prime dark blue corner lots —
Boardwalk and Park Place.
Terman was lucky enough to
not land on any of Buffa’s orange
properties for about fount
