THE PEOPLE COLUMN

Lynn Anderson violated a judge's order against drinking in front of her children, her ex-husband's attorney said.

The children are the subject of a custody battle in Nashville between Anderson and her former husband, oilman Harold "Spook" Stream III.

Hotel records show Anderson had "four to six drinks a day" during a visit to Disney World last month, attorney Jim Doramus told Circuit Judge Muriel Robinson Rice on Friday.

The couple were divorced in Louisiana in 1982. Stream has had custody of the children since April, when he filed a petition alleging that Anderson was an unfit mother to the children, a boy, 11, and a girl, 9.

Jimmy Carter has been nominated by a Quaker organization for the Nobel Peace Prize, praising the former president for his devotion to "public service on a global scale" since leaving office.

The American Friends Service Committee, as a 1947 Peace Prize co-winner with its British counterpart, can offer a nominee every year.

In the letter to the Norwegian Nobel Committee, AFSC Executive Secretary Asia A. Bennett praised Carter's mediation efforts in Ethiopia, the Middle East, Sri Lanka and Somalia as well as his work on the Nicaraguan, Haitian and Panamanian elections.

Bennett also said the 66-year-old former peanut farmer is a board member and volunteer for Habitat for Humanity, spending one week each year helping build homes for homeless people.

Debbie Reynolds, who had no formal dance training before her debut in the classic film musical "Singin' in the Rain," has received the fifth annual Gypsy Award for excellence in dance.

Reynolds, 58, beamed as she was handed the sculpted glass plaque Sunday by her daughter, writer-actress Carrie Fisher, at a lunch at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.

Reynolds' other films include "The Unsinkable Molly Brown," "Tammy and the Bachelor" and "The Singing Nun."
