Ronstadt inspires
Cher to be actress
HOLLYWOOD (AP) Cher, after
nearly 20 years as an entertainer,
decided to become an actress when
she saw Linda Ronstadt in "The
Pirates of Penzance."
"Watching her I thought, 'lf Linda
can do this, what am I doing wasting
my time? If the studio people won't
take me seriously, then I'll go to New
York and try my luck,"' the raven
haired singer said.
Cher had never acted on the stage
in her life, not even in school. She
turned to acting because she felt her
career had begun to peak and was in
the doldrums.
The first thing she did was star on
Broadway in "Come Back to the 5 &
Dime, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean."
Then she did the movie version. The
critics gave her good marks. She also
stars with Meryl Streep in "Silk-
wood."
Runny makeup
plagues Hoffman
NEW YORK (AP) Dustin Hof
fman, who dresses up as a woman in
order to land a role on a daytime soap
opera in his new movie, "Tootsie,"
says that wearing all the makeup
required for the role was no easy
task.
"We had to refrigerate parts of the
set and shoot in the winter because
my makeup would melt under the hot
lights after several hours," he said.
"In fact, after a few weeks of shoot
ing, my skin turned out to be Appala
chian."
Makeup artist George Masters was
responsible for the transformation.

McDowell plays the title role in "Ar

witch, Morgan Le Fay. And Dyan
Cannon? Oh, she's an American tour
ist who drops in on Camelot.
Cannon is visiting Stonehenge, En
gland, when she accidentally drops
into a time warp and ends up in the
days of King Arthur and the Knights
of the Round Table. Those Druids are
tricky.

Study discusses age of 'Lucy'
Suggests not as old as discoverers believed
By PAUL RAEBURN
Associated Press Writer
NEW YORK (AP) The fossil skeleton known as
"Lucy" suggests it is not as old as its discoverers
believed, according to two studies-that could lead to a
new picture of the evolution of human ancestors who
lived more than 3 million years ago.
The leader of one study, Noel Boaz of New York
University, said yesterdy that the studies challenge the
evolutionary family tree proposed by Lucy's discover
er, Donald Johanson of the Institute of Human Origins
in Berkeley, Calif., and his colleague, Tim White, of the
University of California at Berkeley.
The studies, to be published today in the British
scientific journal Nature, suggest that Lucy, whose
partial skeleton was found in the deserts of Ethiopia in
1974, lived between 2.8 million and 3.2 million years
ago. Johanson and White put the skeleton's age at 3.7
million or 3.8 million years.
Johanson and White have concluded that Lucy and
her kindred, found in Ethiopia and at an area called
Laetoli in Tanzania, are a new species of human
ancestor, one they have named Australopithecus afa
rensis.
They believe the spedies has a pivotal role in evolu
tion, as the common ancestor of humans and the so
called australopithecines, extinct human cousins who
,had characteristics of both humans and apes.

Boaz said the new studies, one led by him and the
other by the geologist Francis Brown of the University
of Utah, argue that Lucy does not represent a new
species, but instead is related to other human ancestors
found in South Africa called Australopithecus african
us.
The studies show that Lucy lived at the same time as
the South African ancestors, he said, and are structu
rally similar to them. The fossils found in Laetoli (in
Tanzania) might be a different species, but he said that
will not be known for certain until more fossils are
found.
"You have two hominids (human-like creatures) that
are at the same time period, and they look exactly the
same," he said. "I think they (Johanson and White)
would have to change their theory."
Johanson, reached at his office in California, took
issue with the methods used by Boaz, but said that the
re-dating would not affect his interpretation of the
fossils.
"We've demonstrated beyond anybody's doubt that
the Hadar and Laetoli collections are the same,"
Johanson said. "There are lots of species that have
existed for long periods of time unchanged. An exam
ple is Homo erectus (an early human) which you find
from 1.5 million years ago to half a million years ago."
Johanson and White argue that Lucy's physical
makeup shows that she and the other Ethiopian fossils
are clearly different from the South African fossils.
