He becomes tremendously sad. . . . He’s not the kind of guy who keeps his hand in his pocket. Even back then, when he didn’t have much, we’d go to a restaurant once in a while and he’d overtip the waitress. I’d say, ‘George, what do you want the girl to do? Have a heart attack?’ Now we have a game about tipping and overtipping. But then, it was just his way. There wasn’t much changing him. And I wouldn’t want to. . . . He’s tremendously honest. He doesn’t lust or envy. He appreciates talent in other people. And he is never jealous. Never.” Going back again, she spoke of the summer of 1961. “I’d been legally separated by now. I’d been fired from my job. I was violently ill that summer. George was in his second year of ‘Route 66’ by now. He was up in Gloucester, Massachusetts, filming on location. I phoned him immediately after I was fired, crying hysterically on the phone. In a matter of minutes he soothed me and even had me laughing. He said: ‘Look, baby. We’re in a fabulous place. Big house. Right on top of the water. Lots of sunshine. So bring your shorts and slacks and come on up right away.’ “He gave my life meaning” “I took George up on the invitation. I made a reservation and I took a plane for Boston. George met me at the airport. He drove me back to the house. It was a wonderful place. Lots of wonderful people connected with the show were staying there. And I stayed for a week or so. And in that week, George — just by being the sweet, understanding warm guy that he is— saved me from cracking. And talking with him one day about my future plans, I mentioned something about maybe going into personal management. George said he thought it was a great idea — and that if I did, he’d consider our forming a business association. Which is what has come to happen. Happily. Since that week up in Gloucester. “George gave my life a meaning. But what’s even more wonderful is that he feels that I’m doing something even greater for him. And he helped my son, too. Neil. Most of Neil’s life, and especially after the breakup in 1961, he lacked so for adult male association and affection and identification. But all he had to do was to meet George Maharis and he knew he’d never have to lack for it again. I don’t know where to start telling you the things George has done for my son. Or how. I’ll tell you one thing, though — it isn’t by any nambypambying. George doesn’t go for that. In fact, George will kick Neil around — verbally, that is. When George and I renewed our relationship in the summer of ’61, he attended Neil’s Junior High School graduation party. In the months that ensued they became buddies and then, because Neil feels I’m too young a woman to understand men’s problems — he calls me Child Bride — George gave him the privilege of calling anytime it is necessary, collect, no matter where he is, to discuss his problems man to man. This has given Neil great security, and he has never abused the privilege. . . . Yes, they like one another so much. And George keeps after Neil. Like the time Neil was afraid to take a special examination for a certain high school he wanted to go to. George asked him why he was afraid. If Neil said, ‘I don’t know. I’m just scared to try.’ He lacked confidence, but had great talent. “ ‘Well,’ George said, ‘if that’s the way ' you’re going to be — don’t you come near me anymore. I don’t want to hear the word can’t from you. You can do anything if you really want to.’ “And you can guess what happened, ( can’t you? Neil took the examination. And passed it. And he’s a very good student in that school today. George also checks up * 1 on his work. Everytime he gets into New York, Neil has to show what he’s accom ;; plished. “No, George never namby-pambied Neil. Although I shouldn’t say that, not really. ; Because young boys — like everyone else — need softness sometimes. And George 1 would see to it from time to time when he was around that Neil got it. I remember ‘ one night, early, we were sitting in my ' apartment — George, Neil, I — and Myrna 1 Loy, who is a dear friend and whom I also represent. We were talking about current 1 events. I was sitting on the couch with Ji Myrna. And George was in another chair, ' with Neil on the floor next to him. They were kidding around and I watched as 1 George tousled Neil’s hair and patted his tl shoulder affectionately and I knew that d Neil— that moment — felt the true comrade c ship and friendship, the acceptance and o approval, that he got from George. “Another time, I remember, Neil was going out on a date to the theater, a very ■» important date with a lovely girl he’d just met. George happened to be at the apart ]■ ment that night, and just before Neil left |, George said to him, ‘How much you got on fl you?’ “ ‘Five dollars,’ Neil said. “George reached into his pocket and said, ‘Give me the five; here’s ten. I don’t want you to get stuck in case you and your girl want to have a soda after the show.’ Very special feelings “Another time, I remember — but oh, 1 there are so many times I could tell you about. And all I really mean to say is that there’s no more sensitive, no more compassionate, no greater guy on this earth than George. My feelings for him are very special. And I know his are the same for me. “You know — this operation I just had? It was a tumor, in my neck. Thank God, it turned out to be benign. But about the 1 tumor — obviously it had been there a long time, but it had always been so small even I never noticed it there. And one night — we were going out and I put on a special dress for George. I asked him if he liked the dress — and completely oblivious to my question, he asked, ‘Mimi, what’s that on your neck? It’s swollen.’ ” “ ‘Where?’ I asked. “ ‘There,’ he said. And he made me feel it. And it was there all right. And then he made me go to a doctor. And do you know what the doctor said to me? He said, ‘Yes, Miss Weber, it’s a tumor all right. I wish you’d come to me earlier about this.’ And I told him the truth, that I hadn’t noticed it before, that someone else — a man I knew — had. “And the doctor said to me, ‘Yes. It could be unnoticeable. But — whoever did notice it — he must care for you very, very much.’ “I guess that’s it from me. I guess I’ve
