39—The Daily Collegian Wednesday, Aug.'27, 1986 Couple stars as ambitious attorneys By JERRY BUCK AP Television Writer LOS ANGELES It was an old college connec tion that lured Jill Eikenberry and husband Michael Tucker away from New York for star ring roles in a new NBC series. That connection was Steven Bochco, who helped create Hill Street Blues. He and Tucker were classmates at Carnegie Tech. The new series is L.A. Law, created by Bochco and Terry Louise Fisher, whose credits include Cagney & Lacey. "We didn't want to come to Los Angeles and do a series," Miss EikenbeiTy says. "We liked working in the theater in New York and we'd had some success in films. This is a big move for us." Miss Eikenberry plays Ann Kelsey, a young lawyer who actually believes that lawyers should dispense justice rather than make money.

"They're usually the most interest ing scripts," he said. "I'm all for the independent film and all for the low budget film and reading the Holly wood rejects." The 93-year-old actor won critical acclaim for his role as an imprisoned political activist in The Kiss of the Spider Womati, with his homosexual cellmate, William Hurt. • He was in San Miguel de Allende filming The Penitent, written and directed by veteran character actor Cliff Osmond. The story concerns a love triangle set amid the Lenten rituals of Hispanic communities in the Sangre de Cristo mountains of northern New Mexico. There was a 17-year. lag between writing and filming The Penitent,. now being done as a $1.5 million independent production. "We did (Spider Woman) because we were in love with the project . . . taking the chance it would not make any money," Julia said, sitting down, for an intervew after a tennis game one recent hot day in this colonial Mexican town. In between Spider Woman and Pen itent, Julia has worked on The Morn ing After, as the husband of an alcoholic actress played by Jane, Fonda, and Florida Straits, about a Bay of Pigs veteran who decides to go back to Cuba to find an old love and take her to the United States. Julia said breaking down stereo types for Hispanic actors can be difficult. He was born in San Juan, Puerto Rico and came to New York in 1964 after studying at Ate University of Puerto Rico. 1610Ditteit 011.1 • 2so - I VI • ; • • The 4 year NROTC College Program offers you two years of expense money that's worth up to $2OOO, plus the challenge of becoming a NAVY OFFICER with early responsibilities and decision-making authority.
