Corpus Christi Times from Corpus Christi, Texas (2024)

CORPUS CHRISTI, TIMES Friday, July 12, Former hostage gets film, book offers HOUSTON (AP) Former TWA hostage Allyn Conwell says he has received numerous offers for magazine articles, books and television appearances but isn't accepting all the offers, yet. "It'd be hard not to consider them. I may be open to something of that nature in the future," Conwell told the Houston Post on Wednesday. "Someone has even mentioned a movie, but I'm not taking that too seriously." Aside from the offers, Conwell, 39, has accumulated pounds of letters at the post office. He says he intends to answer every letter.

Conwell has drawn criticism for speaking sympathetically during his captivity towards the more than 700 Israeli-held Shiites. The release of those prisoners was demanded by the two men who hijacked the plane and by the Amal militia that kept the hostages for the last 15 days of the incident. When the freed American hostages returned to the United States, it was TWA pilot John Testrake not Conwell who spoke on behalf of the group at the July 2 welcoming ceremony attended by President Reagan.
