<p>By GINIA BELLAFANTE

<p> Meet Georgie Anne Geyer, A feisty foreign correspondent
who has turned her tape recorder on Khomeinis, Gaddafis and
kings. She's smart and sophisticated, tough and tenacious. She
would make a great character on a hip TV show. Now meet Georgie
Anne Lahti, the wily ex-journalist played by MARKIE POST on the
new CBS sitcom Hearts Afire. Both Georgie Annes are hard
driven, both live in D.C., and both penned books about Fidel
Castro. Coincidence? That's what Hearts creator Linda
Bloodworth-Thomason claims. But the real-life reporter doesn't
buy it. "I'm not pleased. It's an appropriation of my persona,"
says Geyer, 57, who has fired off a letter to the show's
producers via her attorney. According to Bloodworth-Thomason,
the breezy TV Georgie is instead loosely based on brassy Italian
journalist Oriana Fallaci.
