But the 5-foot-10-inch beauty has. always and will always consider herself first and foremost an actress. Now the first woman to host the syndicated "Greatest Sport Legends" TV series for a second season, Ms. Kennedy was seen on CBS' "NFL Today" for two seasons, has done TV features for the Pan Am Games and the AAU Indoor Track and Field Championships and has even been a boxing color commentator.

MOTOR HOTEL By BILL LANCASTER Staff Writer GLOUCESTER Spurred by a double fatality on Route 17 I Nov.

2, a group of county residents has begun a drive to make the highway safer. I "Too many deaths have occurred on this highway and the i problem has been going on too We hope finally to make some changes," said Ruth Faw-ley, a Gloucester Point resident organizer of the group. Mrs. Fawley, with the support of about eight other women, 'mostly young mothers, has started a petition to have the speed limit on Route 17 from the York River Bridge one mile north lowered from 45 mph to 35 mph. The petition will be presented next month to the Gloucester County Transportation Safety Commission.

The petition will also request that a traffic light be installed at the spot where Routes 1250 and 1216 intersect with Route 17. Mrs. Fawley said the intersection is one of the most dangerous in the county with school buses, trucks and cars narrowly missing each other during the morning rush hour. It was in that vicinity Nov. 2 that two women in separate vehicles died in a crash involving a tractor-trailer truck.

Debbie Neider, another member of the group, said she and her neighbors think county and State Police could do a better job ticketing speeders. A third member, Gerlinde Stevens, said she will bring that issue to the attention of the sheriff. "The action we must take must be taken soon. Too many people have been killed already," Mrs. Stevens said.

Mrs. Fawley appeared before the transportation commission Tuesday and said she was told such concerns about Route 17 have been raised before, but no action has been taken. Last year, 13 people were killed in eight accidents on a 39-mile stretch of highway that passes through the growing suburban counties of Gloucester and York. State highway department officials said the growth of the counties coupled with numbers of convenience stores and shopping centers create scores of hazardous points along the road.

The owner of Hampton fire investigators were probing the cause of a fire that gutted a bedroom and caused about $25,000 damage to a house in the Fordham-Buckroe area Friday night. the one-story, three-bedroom rancher, James D. Misenheimer, was not home, nor was a 16-year-old boy who also lives there, Maston said.

No injuries were reported. "I think my career has been the success it is because I am versitile sports, commercials, acting." Ms. Kennedy had flown to New York from her California home to participate in an exposition at the Coliseum and to promote her second workout album, "Love Your Body and More," a 50-minute-long, advanced exercise program. Your Body' was too easy for me," Ms. Kennedy said referring to the successful intermediate album and video cassette she made last year, "but 'Love Your Body and More' is a killer.

It can be done but I recommend you're in shape before you do it." Ms. Kennedy said she developed her own exercise routine over the years. "I had to find a way to exercise in hotel rooms, because I was always on the road," she said. No time for social life now, Ms. Kennedy also models for a line of cosmetics and a sugar-free soft drink and has a five-minute, syndicated radio program called "Radiorobics." She'll be on NBC "Different Strokes" tonight, playing Arnold's (Gary Coleman) favorite teacher and she also is representing a company that will be selling patterns for exercise clothes leotards, warm-up wear, body sweaters and accessories that make the creations suitable for daywear.

All this along with conducting beauty seminars and speaking engagements and Ms. Kennedy still finds time to keep close tabs on her four sisters and one brother back in Ohio. She becomes very animated as she relates stories about her sister Brenda's work as an Ohio state trooper, or her 6-foot-8 brother Herb playing basketball for Marquette. Ms. Kennedy said she planned to spend the rest of the year wrapping up current projects and next year turn her attention to a film script she owns, "Swindle," the story of the late black singer-actress Dorothy Dandridge.

"We're putting the financing together now, so we will be in production next year," she said.
