Hollywood (Jan - Mar 1943)

have been handed something like Anne of Green Gables. I had one bad moment, though. The cameraman had photographed me before and recognized me. He didn't give me away, but winked broadly and said, 'You look like someone who used to be in pictures, but you've got more dash.' My heart went back to normal." Julie landed a contract, but for a while her old luck dogged her. She was on the verge of several good breaks, only to lose them at the last minute. She was scheduled to play the feminine lead in International Squadron, when it was suddenly decided to make the girl French, so the part went to Olympe Bradna. Then she was supposed to do The Bride Came C.O.D. but Bette Davis asked for it. She almost made Edge of Darkness, until it was discovered that she looked too much like Ann Sheridan, also in the cast, so Nancy Coleman got it instead. This was getting Julie nowhere. "Let's take stock," she told herself one gloomy afternoon. "Jacqueline Wells would just sit back and take it, hoping for something to happen. But Julie Bishop has more spirit. She'd do something about it." And she did. She proceeded to stalk into the office of a Warner producer. "Look," she said, hiking her skirt up a few inches and thrusting out a wellshaped gam. "I have legs. I can dance. I can act. Why don't I get a chance?" She finished melodramatically, "If I don't get a break, I'll jump out of the window!" Thoroughly startled at how completely the worm had turned, she gulped and fled from the room. But the producer chuckled at the nervy redhead and remembered her name. They needed a hard-boiled chorus girl for The Hard Way. It was a small part, but an outstanding one. He recommended Julie for it and she was a standout. "It was the first time I ever showed my legs in a picture," she says, shining. "Imagine me, the syrupy little heroine who used to drool, talking out of the corner of my mouth!" That woke up the studio and when they were scouting around for a girl to play a cheap night club singer who slugs wisecracks with Humphrey Bogart in Action in the North Atlantic, Julie was tagged. She's a tough babe in this, which is the cause of much rejoicing on the part of the girl who was once passed over because she was "too sweet." Jacqueline Wells is very much dead — long live Julie Bishop! ■ AMERICA IN 1950 IF THE JAPS WIN . . . . . . there'll be poverty in this country of a type you've never seen — for the wealth will go back to Japan! IF AMERICA WINS . . . . . . there'll be a future to guarantee an American standard of living for every citizen in the country.
