SAN FRANCISCO (AP)- Meet E.T.
She's Tamara De Treaux, a 22-year-
old actress who stands less than a yard
high, weighs 40 pounds, wears blouses
as dresses and sings for a living.
She said she landed a part as the
stranded-on-Earth extraterrestrial in
the movie E.T. after the original E.T.
was injured.
"People say, 'Hey, you're gonna be
as famous as R2D2,' "she said of the
robot made famous in the movie Star
Wars. "All I can think is, 'Where's
R2D2 today?' I want to be hired to play
a character, not a little person. I've
been in the business 10 years. If it
doesn't happen now, I better hang, up
my little shoes."
De Treaux, who has two other movies
to her credit, said she played E.T. in the
scenes that required movement: boar-
ding the spaceship, fondling flowers,
talking to the children. A mechanical
version was used in the close-ups.
"I just put on the suit, and it fit," she
recalled. "It's very tight. Ever wrap
yourself in cellophane?"
Director Steven Spielberg hired
De Treaux, who lives in San Leandro,
about 20 miles southeast of San Fran-
cisco, after he saw her photo in a
newspaper, she said.
"My height freaked him out. He
didn't know I had training," said De
Treaux, who studied acting at the
American Conservatory Theater in San
Francisco.
In the film, however, acting was
limited to "my cute Daffy Duck wad-
dle. I asked to read for the voice, but
they wanted it mechanical," she said.
Although she was its star, in a sense,
Ms. De Treaux admits that she's only
seen E.T. twice. She likes Barbra
Streisand movies better, she says.

"I didn't make a lot of money," she
said of her E.T. role. "Who knew it'd be
the all-time smash."

HOLLYWOOD (AP)- E.T., the Ex-
tra-Terrestrial, nudged out Rocky III
and broke a box-office record during
the Fourth of July holiday, with a four-
day total of $17.3 million in 1,323
theaters in the United States and
Canada, Universal Pictures reported.
The third of Sylvester Stallone's
Rocky movies seta four-day record last
Memorial Day with $16 million, Univer-
sal said Tuesday.
E.T., Steven Spielberg's most recent
movie, has a 25-day total of almost $87
million with Universal predicting that
the science fiction movie will break
through the $100 million milestone by
Saturday.
The $100 million mark is expected to
be passed next weekend by 20th Cen-
tury-Fox's exercise in adolescent

17 weeks to do it. The film collected $1.4
million in 735 theaters last weekend.
Among the other heavyweights over
the holiday weekend, Rocky III had a
$5.4 million weekend in 1,317 theater
houses ($72.8 million in 39 days); Star
Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, got $4.5
million in 1,250 theaters ($57.7million in
32 days); and Poltergeist drew $4.3
million in 1,060 houses ($38 million in 32
days).
Warner Bros. celebrated the holiday
with $5.4 million for Firefox in 1,176
houses (18 days, $25.7 million), and $5.3
million for Blade Runner in 1,325
theaters (11 days, $14.9 million).
Columbia Pictures' Annie, meanwhile,
collected almost $5 million during the
four days on 1,083 screens. After three
weeks in general release, the $40
million musical has grossed $25.6
inillion.
