The film was originally scheduled to begin production last summer with Burt Reynolds and Dolly Par- ton in the starring roles. Originally budgeted at $12 mil lion — before the signing of Reynolds and Parton — the screen version of the hit stage play will now cost at least $20 million, a spokes man for the studio said. duCtu Jb&in Golxz 707 Shopping Village 693-5909 Skin Care Jot Men & Women Deep Pore Cleansing, Skin Care Products, Make-up Consultations, Cosmetics, Eyebrow Shaping, Hair Removal & Body Wrap.

For Ronald Reagan, he molded an aging cowboy, gunbelt slung around the knees. “I call them character studies because they fall between the real thing and a caricature,” said George Thomas Weare, 36, who prefers to use the name “g Thomas,” with a small initial g and no period after it. Thomas, 36, decided to take the satire of political cartoons one step further — into three dimensions with his four-inch-high silver and bronze figures. The Rhode Island School of Design instructor’s offbeat signature is etched on the originals and the 250 registered reproductions he plans to make of each figure. “I tried to play up the predominant features and bring the spirit of the person to the surface,” he said. Thomas portrayed Carter as a jogger wearing sloppy socks, enormous sneakers and running clothes stretched over a pot belly. The face is familiar from the hairdo to the laugh lines around the eyes and the teeth-filled grin. Republican Reagan’s figure shows an aging cowboy, six-shooter in hand and a gunbelt slung around the knees of western jeans. His pigeon-toed feet cross the tips of worn boots showing more wrink les than the cowboy’s weathered face. Thomas spent a month and nearly $400 molding a caricature of Carter as a three-dimensional approach to the political cartoons in newspapers and magazines. “It was not politically motivated. I just decided to start at the top with the president,” he said. A sterling silver version was hand-delivered to Carter by mem bers of the Rhode Island delegation to the Democratic National Convention. Thomas said he would do the same for Reagan, “but I don’t think the Republican Party is aware” the sculpture exists. Thomas, who studied anatomy for eight years, labored over Carter’s figure and spent several weeks perfecting the cast used in the “lost wax” method of casting silver and bronze sculpture. “Reagan came along very quickly,” he said. “Where the face is long you make it longer. Where features are fat you make them fatter,” he said. Thomas is working up similar character studies of Johnny Car- son. He said his next major project will be a monument to the “bravery and personal sacrifice” of the Americans held hostage in Iran. The photgrapher and painter who turned sculptor seven years ago said he would donate the work. “I want Americans to remem ber what happened. Our feelings should not be diminished by time.” Thomas said he used the signature “g Thomas” on a limited edition work about four years ago “and the handle stuck.”
