who won an Emmy for the TV-mini Lonesome

PRESUMED INNOCENT: Warner Bros. This
may be the summers top drama. Starring
Indiana Jones Harrison Ford, Presumed In
nocent is based on one of the best-selling
novels of the 1980s. Ford plays the prosecut
ing lawyer R. Sabich whose assignment is to
investigate the murder of a beautiful colleague
with whom he had been having an affair. All
hell breaks loose when he becomes the prime
suspect in her murder. Brian Dennehy, Raul
Julia, and Bonnie Bedelia (Die Hard/er) also
star. This movie should fare well this summer.
Ford brings in big bucks. He has appeared in
six of the all-time top ten films ever released. I
dont think I need to name them; however, do
Steven Spielberg and George Lucas ring any
bells?
