MOVIES - March 6, 1987

Jury selection in a $30-million lawsuit starring Eddie Murphy and entertainment manager King Broder was under way Thursday in Mineola, N.Y. Broder filed the suit in 1983, alleging that he helped Murphy launch his career for two years but never got the percentages due him from their six-year contract. Murphy, 25, countersued, claiming Broder never lived up to his end of the deal. Opening arguments are scheduled for Monday.
