She Finishes What She Starts Continued from pngre thirty-six George didn't argue, but he quickly bundled her into a car and took her straight to her doctor's office for the second blood count that day. Both George and Joan had their way. The remaining shots were taken, but not for eleven days because the doctor's first words when he saw the result of the blood count were, "No more stalling. An operation has to be soon." "Yes," Joan agreed. "I was just telling George there is only a shot or two tomorrow." "The only shot you'll have is an anaesthetic within the hour," her doctor commanded. To George he remarked, "Drive straight to the hospital." That was that. In spite of vain sputterings, Joan was operated upon as her doctor had said, "within the hour." A Week Later when I walked into Joan's hospital room I found her sitting up in bed. Casually I mentioned the unfinished picture. "It wasn't so serious, not getting to make those last shots," Joan confessed. "I can still do them because it just happens the script calls for me to be in bed." So that was what had been in Joan's mind as she had lain there passively! Sure enough, the next thing I heard Joan was home. At the studio they had finished everyone else's part except Joan's final scene with Pat O'Brien and that was going to be taken in Joan's own home the next day. Early that morning the neighbors looked out to see Warner's big trucks loaded with powerful lamps, cameras and set equipment backing up and unloading at the Barnes'. Forty-one men came along to shoot that little scene. Inside Joan's nurse was fluttering around. "She shouldn't do it," she fumed. "But she's bound and determined. Thwarting her is worse than to let her do it." Joan was sitting up in bed all dressed up in the studio lace-trimmed gown and a frilly negligee, her eyes dancing with excitement. "I'm ready, George. Come on and take me down," she called. Downstairs Joan's living room had been transformed into a studio set. A long silk throw was hung from the balcony railing as a background for the bed. It Was Eleven days since Joan had seen all the stage force assembled but here they were, overflowing the living-room, up the steps into the dining-room. She was thrilled and excited at seeing them all again. "Hello, everybody," she called gayly from the second landing. There was an effort at a genial response which faded into a hushed silence as Joan was gently laid on the bed. It was a strange, tense moment. Later one of the technicians said, "It suddenly hit us all when we saw Miss Blondell being carried down those steps, still looking plenty sick, that here we were, all hale and hearty, so engrossed in studio business that unwittingly we were using up the only bit of reserve strength the girl had, just to be able to finish a job." Of course the truth was the studio had not suggested such a thing. It was Joan's own plan. This pluck of Joan's in determining to finish her picture at any cost to herself will make I've Got Your Number, when I see it on the screen, a little different picture to me than it would have been. Laughing Lady Continued from pane thirty-seven won that scholarship. I might now be eking out a living giving piano lessons!" Once launched on a film career, Colleen became tremendously ambitious. She determined to reach the top. Naturally serious and conscientious, she lived, moved and had her very being in pictures. She married the brilliant young producer, John McCormick, and together they climbed to fame and fortune. Colleen Has Been called a petted child of the gods. In reality her success was won at the sacrifice of everything else. "Work owned me body and soul," she told me. "I knew everyone in Hollywood, yet had few friends. Even when I went to parties I didn't have a good time. I was always thinking, worrying and planning about tomorrow's work. Usually we were too tired to entertain; but when we did the conversation was all about percentages, distribution, lack of good stories — nothing but pictures, pictures! "Even my first and only trip to Europe, which I had anticipated for years, turned into a business venture. I met foreign executives, I ran here and there making personal appearances, sat through tiresome dinners and listened to endless discussions. Not one minute was allowed me for sight-seeing or pleasure. "I gradually woke up to the fact that I was missing everything. It was as if I were sitting on the curbstone watching life go gaily by but having no share in it." In consequence, after winning success and a large fortune together — but missing the road to happiness, things began to happen between Colleen and John. The only solution seemed separation which led, in turn, to divorce. "Following this climax in my life, I went to New York," continued Colleen. "There to my surprise, I met charming people who had other interests besides their work. I went to Florida, then to the Bahamas, and learned to play — for the first time in my life. "Of course, it was Al who really taught me how to get the right perspective on life, how to find pleasure in work without letting it absorb me. He has a won HOLLYWOOD
