Kovic expressed his sentiments in a telephone call to Tim Carpenter, an organizer for the group Peace Politics who helped Kovic's exploratory campaign for the Orange County congressional seat.
"He said, `I'm sorry, but I'm not going to do it,' " said Carpenter. "I said, `I wish you would. But I look forward to working with you sometime in the future.' "
Kovic, 43, nominated for an Oscar for co-writing the screenplay for the Oliver Stone film, was recruited by Democrats to run for the seat held by conservative Republican Robert Dornan of Garden Grove.
Gregory Peck said the late Ingrid Bergman was ambitious, innocent and incredibly beautiful, but her one-time husband, Roberto Rossellini, was "a spoiled, Italian fat boy."
Peck, interviewed for the March 3 issue of TV Time, said you couldn't help falling in love with a woman like Bergman. "Her lovely skin kind of took your breath away, and her whole radiance was something to behold."
He described film director Rossellini as being "extremely talented but at the same time basically a spoiled, Italian fat boy, one who wanted everything he wanted right when he wanted it."
He also spoke about co-star Audrey Hepburn, calling her "a dream to work with."
Donny Osmond flashed his perfect teeth, autographed pictures and even sang a little for an Arizona Senate committee. But the lawmakers weren't singing his song when they voted to require warning labels on risque records.
The Judiciary Committee approved the measure 8-1 Monday.
The recording industry opposes the bill, and Osmond, who acknowledged his "goody-goody" image, was the industry's star witness.
Osmond, wearing a black leather jacket and cowboy boots, said he always had strict morals but had written lyrics that probably would qualify for the warning labels, especially if sung with a different intonation.
