NEWS LITE : NEW SCRIPT? HAS KIDDER LOOKING UP.


Just three months after she was found armed with a knife and raving about imaginary pursuers, Margo Kidder is happily holed up in Montana with the script for her next job, a lead role on Broadway.

It was constructed with few tools, usually an axe or an adz and an auger.  and the prospect of playing painter Georgia O'Keeffe Georgia Totti O'Keeffe (November 15, 1887—March 6,1986) was an American artist.

Kidder was found in a Los Angeles-area back yard, filthy, her hair hacked off and her dentures missing. She was sent to a mental hospital after claiming she had armed herself and fled her home because someone wanted to kill her, cutting her hair to disguise herself.

``I think the truth is that I'd been insane for many years, probably from 16, when I decided Hollywood and stardom was what life was all about and I turned my back on my parents,'' she said.

``I was wrong. Fame gave me a totally empty life in which I turned to drugs and disastrous relationships,'' she said. ``Now I've discovered what really counts. The tragedy is, it has taken me to the age of 47 to work out what really matters.''

Kidder, who co-starred as Lois Lane in ``Superman,'' married and divorced three times during her up-and-down career. Her lavish lifestyle and subsequent inability to land roles left her nearly broke.

Rehearsals for ``Steiglitz Loves O'Keeffe,'' which co-stars Stacy Keach, are scheduled to begin in September.

``Some of us would sometimes hand out portions that were purposely uneven to see if the first people served would take the biggest ones or would try to even it out among the others,'' Leigh told The Arizona Republic. ``In looking back, I guess it's pretty remarkable all eight of us came out alive.''

The Biosphere was plagued by roaches and ants that swarmed over workers.

It also produced far less air and food than projected. Another annoyance was visitors who would pound on the Biosphere's glass panels.

Despite the problems, Leigh, 44, said she feels fortunate to have participated, and even got married in the Biosphere in December.

``I hope we have learned something from it,'' she said. ``If we ever all start talking to each other, that would be a major accomplishment.''
