EX-QUEEN IN FILM
Soraya Will Get £71,000 (Special Crspdt. N.Z.P.A.) LONDON, March 30. Former Queen Soraya of Persia will get £71.000 for her first film role. The Italian film producer. Dino de Laurentiis, who signed up Soraya two weeks ago, announced in Rome. He also said she would get 20 per cent, of any profit. Work on the film is unlikely to start before September. Mr de Laurentiis said it would be a "modern and dramatic story.” Reports from Persia have suggested that the Shah will cut off 31-year-old Soraya’s allowance if she becomes an actress. The spokesman for de Laurentiis said: "Princess Soraya says that talk of pressure from Persia is idle talk by Palace gossips. She is convinced it does not come from the Shah.’’
