10. VEDA ANN BORG (Paramount PI aver) Tired of modeling in the exclusive grwi shops of Boston, Veda Ann Ber4? listened to the voice of inspiration and, telling nobody, sent a picture of herself, together with a brief and modest description of her personal charms, to the Paramount offices in New York and, to her infinite surprise, received a letter in reply, requesting her to come to New York for an interview. Obtaining a leave of absence from her job, she went to New YcrK; where she met with more success than she dared to anticipate. The result of her interview v.ith Oscar Serlin, P>ramount's talent scout, was a term in the Paramount school and, later, a contract and a ticket to Hollywood. Veda arrived in Hollywood on iferch 11, 19.36 and was s*on playing an important role in THREE CHEERS FOR LOVE.
