THE PEOPLE COLUMN

Polly Bergen, perhaps best known to television audiences for her Emmy-nominated role as Rhoda in "War and Remembrance" and the sequel "The Winds of War," filed for divorce Monday.

Bergen filed a Superior Court petition to end her eight-year marriage to New York entrepreneur Jeffrey Endervelt. The court documents cited "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the split.

Bergen, 60, and Endervelt, 50, maintained homes on both coasts, said Marilyn Reiss, publicist for Bergen.

\ Daniel J. Travanti, who played the cool-headed police Capt. Frank Furillo on "Hill Street Blues," would like the world to be a cooler place.

Travanti, Mayor Tom Bradley and leaders of the Sierra Club announced plans Monday to launch a national grass-roots effort to combat global warming.

Sierra Club officials said the campaign will include a series of TV announcements and the distribution of global-warming action kits.

\ Helen Hayes is on a riverboat trip down the Mississippi that will end Friday in New Orleans.

Hayes, 89, interrupted the trip, her 12th, to go to Easter Mass in St. Francisville, La., at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Catholic Church.

"I feel a real sense of gratitude on this morning," Hayes said as she walked out of church Sunday. "I'm thankful that I'm here."

"I love the history aspect of riding the riverboat," she said, attributing much of her interest to the writing of Mark Twain. "On my first trip, I read `Life on the Mississippi,' and I've been fascinated by the river ever since."

\ Donald and Ivana Trump patched things up long enough to greet guests at a fund-raiser for AIDS victims.

The Trumps later held hands as they ascended the stairway from The Plaza Hotel's grand ballroom to a suite where they shared an Easter Sunday lunch with their children and in-laws, said a hotel employee, speaking on condition of anonymity.

The appearance came amid an escalating legal battle over the Trumps' split, which has been the subject of front-page stories in New York tabloids since February.
