FIRST OFF . . .

A South Carolina lawyer testified Monday at William Hurt’s palimony trial in New York that he notarized a lengthy prenuptial agreement between the actor and his pregnant ballerina girlfriend more than six years ago. Scott Graybar of Beaufort, S.C., testified in state Supreme Court that he witnessed the signatures of Hurt and Sandra Jennings when they came to his office Dec. 27, 1982. The document no longer exists, and Jennings, in her suit asking for half of Hurt’s estimated $10 million in earnings, claims the Oscar-winner destroyed it.”It is my best recollection that they signed that document and I witnessed it,” Graybar said, recalling that Hurt, in the middle of shooting the film, “The Big Chill,” showed up wearing blue jeans. “It was an agreement that provided support for Miss Jennings and the child,” Graybar testified. “I remember it as quite lengthy and quite detailed. I remember being impressed by the detail.” In the week-old trial, marked by acrimonious exchanges between Hurt and Jennings’ lawyer, the former New York ballet dancer has tried to prove the couple had a common-law marriage when they lived together from 1981 to 1984. Jennings, 32, is the mother of Hurt’s son, Alexander, 6. Hurt, 39, has since married band leader Skitch Henderson’s daughter, Heidi. Hurt currently pays $65,000 a year in child support to Jennings.
