Usually, though, she is an amazingly mature little per- son, responding to questions like an adult, only now and then allowing her infectious giggle to creep into the con- versation or making a remark which clearly identifies her as still a child despite her pres- ence Thursday in ■ Paper Moon on ABC, 8:30-9 p.m. Example: Jodie attends the Lyeee Francaise where she has learned to speak French rope, gets along wth other children. It ' s a very lucrative busi- ness. Don ' t forget I have had four children to bring up, to support and educate. The two careers — Buddy ' s and Jodie ' s — have enabled me to spend more time with all the child- ren because I haven ' t had to work in a department store and come home exhausted . I have been able to main- tain the sMTie standard of liv- ing we had when the marriage Uoke up. All of my children were educated in fine schools.

According to Jo- die ' s mother, the hamster am- bition may be the most diffi- cult to attain. What roles would Jodie like to try onstage? Portia in the ' Merchant of Venice.
