VERONICA HAMEL
Veronica Hamel signs a document to contract with Warner Brothers to play the role of "Suzanne" in the film, Beyond the Poseidon Adventure.
Document signed twice: "Veronica Hamel/(Pres.) for Mikron, Inc., "employer"; "Veronica Hamel" as "employee", 4p, 8½x11. No place, 1978 September 8. Hamel, individually and on behalf of her agency, contracts with Warner Brothers to play the role of "Suzanne" in the film, Beyond the Poseidon Adventure, for a guaranteed period of 3 weeks beginning September 8, 1978, for $5,000 per week. The document also stipulates that Hamel will receive co-star billing on prints of the picture if she appears in the picture "so as to be readily recognized." (She did appear in this film, released in 1979.) Hamel began as a model in many a cigarette and cosmetic advertisement. She began playing speaking parts on TV in 1975; that same year, she had an opportunity to co-star on Charlie's Angels, but turned the role down, and Jaclyn Smith was cast instead. In 1981, Hamel was cast as hard-driving public defender Joyce Davenport, the lover (and later wife) of police captain Frank Furillo on the weekly Hill Street Blues. She remained with the series until it left the air in 1987. The intensely dramatic roles played by her in recent years are reflected by the titles of her made-for-TV starring films: Deadly Medicine (1991), The Baby Snatcher (1992), The Conviction of Kitty Dodds (1993) and A Child's Cry for Help (1994). Staple and binder holes at top of each page. Slightly creased. Otherwise, fine condition.
