Howard Koch is producing and directing “Badge 373” which is now locationing in New York City. -Ted Zephro, Paramount’s assistant general sales manager, is now headquartered in Los Angeles. The move from New York was dictated by the continuing importance the West Coast has in Paramount’s overall marketing plans. Welcome to California. Zephro should feel right at home here as we have been having lots of New York type weather lately. —Also filming this month is “Hit,” based on an original screenplay by Alan Trustman. Harry Korshak will produce and Sidney Furie direct for exec producer Gray Frederickson. Furie recently completed directing “Lady Sings the Blues” for Paramount. —A jointly owned production Company called “The Directors’ Company” has been formed between Paramount and Peter Bogdanovich, Francis Ford Coppola and William Friedkin. The new Company will be owned 50 percent by Paramount and 50 percent by the three directors. The three will produce and direct a minimum of three films each and serve as exec producer of at least one film each over a six-year period. Paramount will finance and distribute a minimum of 12 films. The Company will be established as a separate unit from Paramount Pictures and it is anticipated that the new Company will become a public entity at a future date. RECOMMENDED VIEWING - Universal’s “The Groundstar Conspiracy” starring George Peppard, Michael Sarrazin and Christine Beiford. It keeps you on the edge of your seat right up to the surprise ending. And a Happy Halloween to you all. *** BRIAN DONLEVY WILL The will of Brian Donlevy, drawn up in 1966, was probated on May 15. He died in the Motion Picture Country Hospital April 5 at the age of 69. Obviously his lingering illness took all his savings. Despite almost 40 years of being “in demand,” the actor left only $8,000 in real and personal property. The small estate will be divided between his widow, Lillian, and daughter by a previous marriage, Judith Ann Donlevy. Mrs. Donlevy was previously married to the late Bela Lugosi. Their son, Bela, Jr., has been named executor of his step-father’s estate. SUBSCRIBE TO HOLLYWOOD STUDIO MAGAZINE AND RECEIVE A FREE CLASSIFIED AD.
