Photoplay (Jan-Jun 1963)

“The Children’s Hour,” and you spent long hours going for walks together and talking about books and the theater and about England. (You’d been there for a Command Performance and to make the picture, “The Hasty Heart,” at a time when you felt that you had to get away from Hollywood and Coop — to keep your own heart from being too hasty. If you’d met Roald then, instead of three years later, what a lot of heartbreak might have been spared for three people!) In July, 1953, you and Roald were married, and on your way to a ten-week honeymoon in Europe. Even your trousseau reflected your new-found happiness. It was all in pink — “a color I feel good in,” you said. And it was good, your new life. You and Roald set up housekeeping at Great Missenden in Buckinghamshire, in a lovely old Georgian house called Little Whitefields that was only an hour’s drive from London. You found that you loved being a housewife. And now your long walks with Roald were more wonderful than ever, as you explored the green English countryside in springtime and the mist-shrouded villages in autumn. And, before the weather turned too cold, you and Roald went off to New York to spend the winter months in a Manhattan apartment while you saw the shows together and Roald visited editors and wrote. Your life became complete Then, a little over a year after your marriage, Olivia was born — and she was a minature of you. She had your intelligent face, and your wide-set eyes and high cheekbones. Two years later, Tessa came along. And on August 2, 1960, your life became complete when you bore Roald a son — Theo, a healthy sevenpound, three-ounce boy who turned out to have smiling, alert eyes and a loud wail. You continued working off and on — just enough to keep your hand in. And a month after Theo’s birth, you had an offer for a movie that seemed to fit in perfectly with your plans. You were wanted for an important role in “Breakfast at Tiffany’s.” Not the leading role; that belonged to Audrey Hepburn. But it didn’t matter any more. What mattered was that it was a good role — as the society woman who battled Audrey for George Peppard’s affections — and that the movie would be filmed in New York in the autumn and winter. It just harmonized with your trans-Atlantic commuting schedule. So you and Roald bundled up the children and headed happily for Manhattan — and, it turned out, for tragedy. For on December 5, 1960, while Theo was being wheeled across a Manhattan intersection by his nurse, a taxicab smashed into his baby carriage and injured him horribly. Little Tessa, who was with him, saw the accident. When you got the news, you rushed to the hospital, and there the doctors told you the frightening truth: Theo had received critical head injuries which might cost his life. For days he hovered between life and death, while you prayed for a miracle to save him. The miracle came — but it wasn’t enough. As a result of his grave injuries, Theo had to have a tube inserted in his body, leading from his brain to his fAMERlcAN Institute Vf>VactiVal VursiVg" r™ 25 T, 120 S.
