NEW YORK - Screenwriter
Eleanor Perry is a small wo-
man who has grappled with a big
issue for most of her years in
film: Where are good roles for
women?
She's tried to answer it in her
Work.
"IN THESE DAYS when you
hear on all sides that nobody's
writing good roles for women, it's
all I've ever done." Perry says.
Perry, who wrote the screen-
plays for "David and Lisa,"
"Last Summer," "Diary of a
Mad Housewife," and "The Man
Who Loved Cat Dancing," won
an Emmy award this year for
her teleplay, "The House With-
out a Christmas Tree."
She was interviewed in her New
York apartment, where stacks
and stacks of books line the walls
and are piled on end tables
A DIRECTOR had just called
about her screenplay of Joyce
Carol Oates' novel, "Expensive
People." He wanted to start
filming immediatel. and she was
delighted that he saw what she
had tried to do in the screen-
play.
"It's fine. It can have such
great scenes for an actress. Noth-

Creating
ing is greater than a really good
director who sees what you
mean," she said.
On her way to a holiday in
southern France, Perry said she
was finishing a film for Academy
Award nominee Cicely Tyson in
which the actress plays a black
congresswoman.
"TENTATIVELY, we've called
it 'Clout,"' she said. "And it will
be something of what I used to
love in movies add miss today.
Remember those'Tracy-Hepburn
films, groovy love stories with
ups and downs and characters
who swing with them? This will
be similar. There'll be an under-
current of politics, but the love
story comes first. We'll have a
television broadcaster and a
Portia-like Congresswoman."
Perry thinks the situation of
women in films today is "just
awful, or, to use a stronger word,
outrageous." For one thing, wo-
men in movies today seem much.
alike to her.
"They have long hair and great
bodies. They get used, murdered,
hacker apart while nude, or they
wait on some man. They never
have impact.
"NEVER DO YOU feel, 'This
is a human being.' And so many
directors are culpable. The new.
thing, now, is that women are
women
supposed to be raped and en-
joy it. That's a director's idea.
Hal" In recently released "The
Man Who Loved Cat Dancing",
Perry lost a fight over a rape
scene. It was in the novel, but
Perry's conception of. the char-
acter in the screenpllay did not
include rape.
"She was independent, a sort
of 1880s liberated woman. I
thought she would defend herself;
she would not be raped. But the
director and my co-producer
thought otherwise. The rape
scene is in the film. One of the
men told me, 'Well, rape turns
some men on. .
The problem she added, is that
as a screenwriter she has no au-
thority. Even as a co-producer,
as she was billed on "Cat Danc-
ing," she exercised little author-
ity.
Perry grew up in Cleveland,
Ohio, and had what she calls
"another whole life" there. She
married young, to a lawyer, and
had two children.
"WHEN I was growing up, I
remember that boys took shop
while I studied sewing. I ripped
up one towel 38 times, and would
have much preferred playing
baseball. I hated to sew. My
mother used to tell me no man
would ever want to marry me. So
s roles
I married early and might have
gone on forever with charity
work if the war hadn't come
along. I wasn't satisfied or hap-
py, but I didn't know what to do
about it."
What she finally did was flee.
She moved to New York, obtained
a divorce, began writing, met and
married director Frank Perry
and spent 10 years working pri-
marily with him.
Now they are . divorced,. and
she has another "new life,"
which she says is in some ways
better than the ones before.
"YOUNG WOMEN are so dif-
ferent today. I admire them.
My own daughter doesn't take
anything for granted and I'm try-
ing to imitate her. Many things
are changing and getting better.
Even women my age are more
open to change than before.
One thing which concerns the
screenwriter more today than
ever is this: After all those roles
for women, real women, are
written, where does she find ac-
tresses to play the parts?
"Have you noticed," she said,
"that the new girl in town, this
year's 'find', is 18 to 22? But
they all look alike, and they're
gone tomorrow. Where are those
actresses of 30 to 35 to be to-
day's women?"
