Jane Seymour

Richard Cleaver's sculptures, made of ceramics, paint and sometimes wood, are meticulously crafted, ingenious essays in the falsity of the created image.His show at Goucher, called "Public Histories, Private Lives," deals with the difference between the persona we try to put forward for the world to see and the real person who hides behind the mask. It deals, too, with how difficult it is to escape the role that one's world (parents, peers, socioeconomic status, etc.) thrusts upon him or her.Two of these works, "Queen's Closet" and "Court Dress," deal with two of the most familiar stories in European history: Henry VIII and his wives, and Marie Antoinette and the fall of the French monarchy.

On this first night of Olympic competition, don't you feel sorry for the non-NBC networks?"The Bottom Line" (11 a.m.-noon, WBAL, Channel 11) -- Baltimore's own Jada Pinkett, who co-stars with Eddie Murphy in "The Nutty Professor," is among the guests celebrating sisterhood on today's show. NAACP President Kweisi Mfume is the host."Project A.L.F." (8 p.m.-10 p.m., WMAR, Channel 2) -- Far more cuddly than Ray Walston and far less dangerous than the bugs from "Independence Day," Earth's favorite fur-coated resident alien returns in a movie from last year, in which he's trying to escape an Air Force officer who wants him terminated.

CBS cancelled some big-name series yesterday as it rolled out its fall schedule for advertisers in New York.David Caruso ("Michael Hayes"), Tom Selleck ("The Closer"), Jane Seymour ("Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman"), Cybill Shepherd ("Cybill"), Bob Newhart and Judd Hirsch ("George & Leo") all got pink slips, along with Steven Bochco's heavily-promoted "Brooklyn South."Bryant Gumbel's newsmagazine, "Public Eye," also got the ax, but Gumbel will remain a prominent player at the network, according to Les Moonves, president of CBS Entertainment.

It's a night of firsts: "Baywatch," "The John Larroquette Show" and "Saturday Night Live" offer season premieres, and two new hTC series also make their debut, including "Baywatch Nights" in syndication and "The Home Court" on NBC.*"Baywatch" (6 p.m.-7 p.m., WNUV, Channel 54) -- As Maxwell Smart used to say, would you believe this is the world's most popular television show? The syndicated series about lifeguards in California -- sometimes called "Babewatch" or "Bodywatch" -- is seen in more than 100 countries and launches a new season with David Hasselhoff continuing as beach boss.

For Jennifer Collinson, it was the realization of a dream, appearing as an anonymous extra in a Hollywood movie. "It was so thrilling," Collinson, 30, says at a preview screening of Wedding Crashers, set up so the local cast and crew involved with the film - much of it was shot on the Eastern Shore last summer, in and around St. Michaels - could see what they had been working so hard on. Collinson, a music and drama teacher at Arundel Bay Christian Academy...

A wealth of worthwhile options are on tap tonight, including a few that stress the spooky: a biography of Vincent Price, a repeat of Disney's classic "Legend of Sleepy Hollow" cartoon, and the broadcast network premiere of "Misery."* "The John Larroquette Show" (9-9:30 p.m., WMAR, Channel 2) -- Ted Shackelford, formerly of "Knots Landing," guest-stars as Jim, an old friend who visits John Hemingway (Larroquette) to reminisce about their drunken binges together -- one of which, according to Jim, ended with them having a sexual encounter together.

CBS calls it "Christy," but you can call it "Daughter of Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman."It's a new drama series that premieres tomorrow night, starring Kellie Martin as a turn-of-the-century mission-school teacher in the hills of Tennessee. It's based on Catherine Marshall's novel of the same title.The series is part adventure story and part girl-coming-of-age, with a heavy dose of "The Waltons" thrown in.It's romantic, sentimental, sometimes stereotyped and, in the end, a great showcase for the considerable talents of Martin, who almost singlehandedly carried "Life Goes On" in its final season last year.

Don't fret if you catch a guy with longish brown hair and blue eyes staring at you. It just might be "Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman's" heartthrob, Joe Lando."
