Grapevine Garner sticks up for People people Man of the People's Jim Garner reports it's been hands off by network brass since he informed NBC executives he wanted them to stop interferring with the way costar Corinne Bohrer was playing the role of Constance Leroy. Some history here: Bohrer replaced Kathleen Quinlan, who quit after shooting the pilot, when according to her agent, "NBC made her the fall guy for everything that went wrong." Garner wanted Quinlan as his costar. I'm told the network didn't, but hired her because of Garner's clout and then proceeded to criticize her work. Garner says he refused to let the same thing happen with Bohrer. Now, says Garner, "They come around only once in a while. It's 'How are you? Things look good'." Garner says he's noticed censors have far less to say these days, too. In his Rockford Files days in the '70s, he recalls, "we'd have one 'damn' or 'hell' per week and no cleavage at all. With Man of the People, it's been pretty much hands-off by the Standards and Practices people." |
