iB" ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT/The Charlotte Post Thursday, June 13, 1996 LISA COLLINS Behind The Scenes Hot property: While the vast majority of hlack actresses have diffi culty find work, Vanessa Williams" seems to he having, hei .way - on th4i B r o a d w a stage, on thi record charts and now i good measun on the silve screen. WILLIAMS Williams, who stars opposite Arnold Schwarzenegger and James Caan in “Eraser,” set to open next week, has landed emother plum role. That of the female lead in “Gangster,” opposite Laurence Fishburne, who is also listed as one. of the film’s producers. To be directed by Dill Duke, the movie is the story of a Harlem racketeer, who while growing in power, wages war against legendary mobster Dutch Schultz. Williams plays Francine Hughes, the Harlem nurse who falls in love with him. Shooting is slated to begin later this month. In other casting news, Dennis Haysbert (Whitney Houston’s love interest in “Waiting To Exhale”) has been set to co-star in “Absolute Power,” which is being directed by Clint Eastwood. Haysbert will play a secret service agent in the story of a thief (Eastwood) who, during the course of the heist, becomes an eye witness to murder and subsequently entangled in a high level gov ernment scandal. Firing back: Anita Baker has fired off another volley in the battle to restructure and get a hold on her business affairs by filing a breach of con tract complaint against her lawyer, !or mer manager, and publish er. Thi action filei last month claims fraud deceit, bread of fiduciar duty, breac of contract, piSHBURNE defamation of character, intentional inflic tion of emotional distress, civil conspiracy, and attorney mal practice. It stems from a default judgement which was filed by Sherwin Bash, Baker’s former manager, against Baker in February for $6 mil lion in damages, back royal ties, unpaid commissions, other revenue and court costs. Baker’s suit seeks a full accounting of all monies col lected by Bash in her behalf. The singer is reportedly fnis- trated that she was not prop erly represented nor informed of critical business matters. Just last year, she was seeking to get out of her contract at Elektra, but has since come to terms with her label. Round Two: The battle against record companies is heating up again. C. Delores Tucker, founder of the National Political Congress of Black Women, joined former education secretary William Benett, Sen. Joseph Lieberman and Sen. Sam Nunn to announce a radio campaign targeting five of the major record labels alleging that when big companies hawk songs with degrading l5nics, music is leading society down the wrong road. By the way: Spike Lee will reportedly direct “Reliable Sources,” the last film from controversial screenwriter Joe Eszterhaus.
