VERONICA HAMEL
Veronica Hamel signs a document to contract with Columbia Pictures Television to play the role of "Evelyn Hart" in the TV film, Doctors' Private Lives.
Document signed twice: "Veronica Hamel" on p3, on behalf of her agency Mik-Ron, Inc.,; and on p4 as actress "Veronica Hamel" , 4p, 8½x11. No place, 1978 October 10. Hamel, individually and on behalf of her agency, contracts with Columbia Pictures Television to play the role of "Evelyn Hart" in the TV film, Doctors' Private Lives, for $3,500 for one week commencing October 10, 1978. The above name film did appear in 1978 as a pilot for a series of the same name, but Hamel's part was written out of it. That did no serious harm to her career, since the series was cancelled after one month in 1979. Hamel had 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).
