Hollywood (Jan - Oct 1934)

CROSS-EXAMININ the STARS Where HOLLYWOOD readers ask the stars pertinent and impertinent questions CAROLE LOMBARD: Is it true that you and William Haines are romantically "that way"? If not, who is your current sweetie? The rumor that William Haines and myself are romancing is absurd. It originated, no doubt, when I sought his advice in decorating my new home. Naturally, we have been seen together when we were discussing interior decorating. But we are merely very good friends. At the moment, I find interesting company in both Gary Cooper and Russ Columbo, as well as my ex-husband, Bill Powell. FRANCHOT TONE: What nationality are you — height and weight? I am from an old English family with a trace of French blood. Six feet tall, and weigh one hundred and sixty. GINGER ROGERS: Could you give me a hint on how you keep your hair so beautiful? For one thing I brush my hair a great deal — always before retiring. This brings out the natural oil from the roots which gives the hair a sheen and eliminates the artificiality of brilliantine. I wash my hair weekly, giving my scalp a hot oil treatment. These three aids, more than anything else, account for a healthy head of hair. WARNER BAXTER: How have you invested your money in the last three years? Insurance and life annuities. No more speculating in stocks for me. The home I have been building for the last six months, now nearing completion, represents an investment of over $50,000. Other than this, however, my entire fortune is in insurance savings. JIMMY DUNN: In whom are you interested now that Sally Eilers and Boots Mallory are both married? Lona Andre, and she promised not to do me wrong. JEAN HARLOW: measurements? What are your Five feet three and one-half inches tall; weight, one hundred and ten; bust, thirty-five inches; waist, twenty-three and one-half inches; hips, thirty-five and one-half. 42 Write Your Questions on This Coupon I should like to ask the following question My name Address Mail this coupon to The Question Editor, Hollywood, 305 Baine Studio Bid?., 6605 Hollywood Blvd., Hollywood, Calif.
