the time of day, Uhry said he
is still delighted when he
hears that audiences enjoy
his plays.
"I never get tired of it," he
said. "I'm constantly thrilled,
and honored:'
Even with the critical and
popular success of "Driving
Miss Daisy" and the 1988
Pulitzer Prize, Uhry is not
about to sit back and take his
success lightly.
The Pulitzer makes it
easier to get plays produced
and puts him in a more pro-
minent position, Uhry said,
"so I want to be real careful."
Uhry's next play also will
reach back into his history.
He's writing about being a
Jewish child in Atlanta. It
was a very secular existence,
he said. "Even the rabbi was
called doctor, and I think the
temple was just called 'the
temple' — no `13'nai this or
that! "
In addtion, he is completing
a screenplay for "Driving
Miss Daisy," which will be
filmed in Atlanta by Richard
Zanuck and David Brown.
Uhry said he believes
"Driving Miss Daisy" is such
a success because "People res-
pond to the truth, and in this
play I rely on the truth about
my own background.
"And I think that good
writing comes from personal
experience. 'Driving Miss
Daisy' is not exactly what
happened, but almost. It was
something I observed very
closely and lived with.
"And of course," he added,
"I'm a very good liar."

Brussels (JTA) — The case
of a Jewish refusenik suffer-
ing from cancer has been
taken up at the highest level
in Moscow by Lord Plumb of
Britain, president of the
Strasbourg-based Parliament
of Europe.
Plumb is making the first
official visit to the Soviet
capital by a president of the
parliament. His spokesman,
Lionel Stanbrook, said that
he discussed the predicament
of Georgi Samoilovich with
Andrei Gromyko, president of
the USSR.
Plumb "asked Gromyko for
details, about the case of the
Jewish refusenik, who is suf-
fering from cancer for which
there is treatment only in the
United States," Stanbrook
said.
The Soviet OVIR office in-
formed Samoilovich that he
would not be given a medical
visa for cancer therapy.
