- Movies may have been his downfall, but that doesn't mean
- ex-Washington Mayor MARION BARRY will turn his back on them,
- especially when one will feature his life story. Barry has
- visited Tinseltown for a meeting with producer Ron Samuels, who
- wants to make a film that will highlight events in Barry's life
- such as the civil rights movement and his spell in jail. "He has
- had a fascinating life," says Samuels. It all is on hold until
- after D.C.'s Sept. 15 election, when Barry could return to
- public office by winning a city council seat. If he does,
- Samuels says, it would make the movie "even more of a Rocky
- story."
