Hollywood Loves The Real Thing
</hdr><body>
<p>By Janice Castro/Reported by Sidney Urquhart
</p>
<p> What was FAYE DUNAWAY doing sitting in class at the
University of Michigan law school? Research. Dunaway is
interested in portraying law professor CATHARINE MACKINNON in
a movie about sexual harassment. MacKinnon pioneered the legal
concept long before Anita Hill's testimony galvanized the
national debate on the subject. The professor is ambivalent
about submitting to Hollywood treatment. Says she: "It centers
on me as a person, rather than on the women whom the work is
about." But, she adds, "women in Hollywood are looking for roles
that show women doing things that women want done." Meanwhile,
MacKinnon has been lecturing to standing-room-only crowds,
thanks in part to the hopeful writers and producers in the
audience.
