Comaneci Deal: Olympic gymnastics champion Nadia Comaneci will tell her life story in a two-hour movie made possible by the fall of the Ceausescu government in her native Romania, it was announced Thursday by David Frost’s production company, David Paradine Television Inc. “Now that my family is no longer threatened by (Nicolae) Ceausescu and his family, I can tell my whole story,” the 28-year-old Romanian defector said. Comaneci will act as a consultant to the movie and will help cast the actresses who will portray her as a child, teen-ager and woman.
