"You'll be much better equipped for a long life in pictures with good stage training — afterwards is too late" By Irene Dunne EVERY MONTH I receive innumerable letters from eager, ambitious young girls asking "How can / become a movie star?" I think it's regrettable that more of them do not ask how to become a movie actress, because most of those girls, I fear, are more intrigued with the idea of glamour, mink coats and swimming pools than interested in acting — fine acting. Well, this editorial effort of mine may prove of some help to those girls, for as I talk of what I'd do, if I were tackling Hollywood today, I suppose I'm indirectly giving advice.
