...more than photogenic starlet roles. But Deborah Raff in, 26, has a part to sink her psyche into: Brooke Hayward, in a four-hour CBS-TV version of Haywire, the bestselling daughter-recall of a harrowing, hectoring life with Producer-Father Leland Hayward and Actress-Mother Margaret Sullavan. Lee Remick plays Sullavan; Jason Robards is Hayward. Unlike Robards, who knew the man and brings friendship to the role, Raffin has never met Brooke. Still, she feels she knows something about survival because of the schlock she has played in. "I was very hurt by the experience," she says...
...very forthright, strong-tempered and English," says Lee Remick about Kay Summersby, World War II chauffeur for Eisenhower. Remick, 42, will play Summersby in Ike, ABC's upcoming six-hour movie. To research the film, ABC relied on, among other sources, Summersby's posthumous memoirs, Past Forgetting: My Love Affair with Dwight D. Eisenhower. "She admittedly fell absolutely in love with him. That part is dealt with in the movie, but mostly through implication," says Remick. As for Ike's feelings about Kay, word is that the movie may well conclude that discretion is the better part...
...PALMA HAS CAST the film magnificently, with a keen satirical eye. Giving the lead roles to Kirk Douglas and Carrie Snodgrass must be his audacious reply to those who would put all-American zombies like Gregory Peck and Lee Remick in similar roles.

With the stature and angry leer of a depraved baboon (perfect for a DePalma hero), and a cuddly, newfound warmth, Douglas looks like a MAD magazine caricature of himself, and that is somehow very appropriate. Carrie Snodgrass, in her first appearance since Diary...
This is terribly embarrassing to Soviet intelligence. Charles Bronson is the secret agent dispatched to clean up the mess before it spreads too far; Lee Remick plays the double agent who is supposed to assist him but whose real function is to fall in love with him while they try to head off Pleasence before he sets all the old agents' bells aringing. There are entertaining possibilities in this improbable story. At least it avoids being paranoid, not only about the KGB but also, more remarkably, about the CIA, a more recently fashionable whipping boy. But Director Siegel...
Considering these biographical riches, Jennie: Lady Randolph Churchill (PBS, 9 p.m. E.S.T.) the seven-part series that starts this week on 200 PBS stations, should be a romp. Alas, this English production has been authorized by the family. Raciness is sacrificed to discretion. Lee Remick reduces Jennie to a bright, transparent coquette. There is no hint of Lady Randolph's unpredictable passions or the fatal allure that caused eminent Edwardians to lose their heads. The liveliest scenes are domestic...
