Thursday, September 30,1993 - THE QIARLOTTE POST - Page SB BEHIND THE SCENES With LISA COLLINS cape." Thus far, the one thing Hall has successfully been able to elude is marriage. But Hall Insists that It’s not by choice. 'Td love to be married and have kids," he says. "The reason I'm not Is because I’ve taken a selfish approach to this career thing. Then too, one of the other things I have to deal with Is that I have to learn how to trust. And that goes beyond relationships to people who you thought were a buddy and find out later that they thought you could get them a record deal. That there was always a goal. Arsenio's Reality Check: "\Ye need to realize — wheth er It’s the South African apartheid or the smaller ap'artheld here in America — hdw important It is for us to fotus on and stop black on blpck crime. You can’t fight an institutionalized racist system when the biggest kill ofl your troop is yourself." Words more than likely seen a^ uncharacteristic for Arse- nto Hall? But today Hall’s getting busy with the promo tion of "Bopha!" a film he fi nanced and executively- pfoduced, and whose stellar cast Includes Alfre Woodard and Danny Glover. "Movies like this," Hall says, "remind ydu and refocus you on the r^al Issues. The script’s been abound a long time. The rea son it hadn’t been done is be cause it’s not one of those projects that makes a lot of money. I will lose more money than I will like, but I’ll be happy." Hall was strongly moved by the strofig message of family against the backdrop of cruel apart heid. Says Hall: "It can make you think about how all of us must deal with racism no matter where we are. (Yes, even Arsenio Hall). It’s more a part of my life than enter tainment, and because it’s not a soclo-economically based problem, having mon ey doesn’t help you to es- benefit tn Washington, D.C. (Their upcoming album, "Christmas Interpretations" releases on October 5). Whoopi Gets Classic? Who opi Goldberg has reportedly been meeting with Warner executives about a remake of the 1957 classic, "A Face In The Crowd." In it, Andy Grif fith starred as a country hick transformed Into a TV celeb rity and crackerbarrel phi losopher onscreen but a meg alomaniac in his personal life. In the ’90s version, Gold berg would star as a wildly popular, contemporary TV talk show hostess. Mean while, Goldberg’s legal prob lems seem to be growing. She recently lost a round in court when a judge refused to dis miss the allegations of T. Rex Productions Inc. that Gold berg agreed to star in a pro ject, then abruptly pulled out. A similar case sent ac tress Kim Basinger to bank ruptcy court. The trial was due to begin this week. (Sis ter Act II is slated for release December 10).
