new faces JEFF CHANDLER had been at work in Universal International's Sword in the Desert for exactly one day, when studio execs signed him to a long term contract. He'd been signed for the role chiefly because of his vibrant voice {he's Michael Shayne of radio fame) but his 6' 4", 210 lb. frame was also a distinct asset. Jeff was born in Brooklyn, N. Y. on December 15, 1918 and tried out for little theater work directly after graduating from high school. Progressing slowly from bit parts to star billing, Jeff later formed his own stock company. He's married to Marjorie Hoshelle; there are two kids. VALENTINA CORTESA may be a new face to Hollywood, but she's already an outstanding actress in ■ Italy. She was born in Milan, Italy, January 1, 1925, and spent most of her childhood in a small fishing village on Lake Maggiore. During a village feast, she took part in the dramatic offering and was promptly discovered by two critics. Valentino became the toast of Italy and was re-discovered by Zanuck. She's made Black Magic in Rome with Orson Welles and you will see her soon in Thieves' Highway with Dick Conte. CHRISTOPHER KENT tried out for Sweden's Royal Dramatic Theater when he was 17 but the directors thought he was a little young. So Chris (who was born Alf Kjellin) tried out for a movie contract instead. He worked at the studio three days a week and at the theater three days a week. Appearing in 26 movies in ten years, Chris first came to the attention of tlie American public and David Selznick, in the Swedish movie, Torment. He's 6 feet tall, weighs 170 lbs. and has blond hair and blue eyes. His latest is Madame B ovary for MGM. SUSAN DOUGLAS' real name used to be Zuska Zenta, but she changed it because she felt people would think she was a character actress. She was born in Vienna inr 1926 and studied ballet and singing in Prague and Switzerland. Her family fled from Nazi rule in 1939 and Susan came here, quickly learned the language and went into summer stock in Connecticut. She's done lots of radio work (Theater Guild. Mr. District Attorney) and made her movie debut in The Private Affairs of Bel Ami. You've recently seen her as Shelley in Lost Boundaries. Susan's got grey eyes, ash-blonde hair and is 5' 2" tall.
