Anthony Curtis 56 presume it's safe enough to say that a triple flood of water has rolled under Shelley's bridge in the past half dozen months. Heading the list, of course, is her marriage to an actor of international repute, whose crowded record of accomplishments in the theatrical world is most impressive. Her career continues on a steady ascendant, chronicled in detail in the newspapers and magazines. Throughout it all, Shelley has held her own, always emerging on top of the heap. We ordered lunch and settled down for a session of talk, or more accurately for a session of listening, because Shelley was in an expansive mood. "I've moved into a new world since I've become Mrs. Vittorio Gassman," she began, "and I have a new outlook on life." This may probably come as happy news to people who knew the old Shelley, the girl who used to blow her top regularly and wind up just as confused as everybody else who had anything to do with her. "Marriage has given me a tremendous sense of security, both in my personal life and in my career. I'm more relaxed, more organized, less on the defensive, and certainly more easy-going and trusting. I don't make 22 appointments for the same time, and then get into a frenzy trying to keep them all. Before Vittorio, I often used to have the frantic feeling that everybody and everything were crowding in on me, but now I have a calmness based on a newly-acquired theory that the world won't fall apart if I don't do everything this minute. It can wait until manana! "In my career, Vittorio has pointed out that when you're an actress and can turn in a fairly capable job, you'll always be in demand because you have something the public wants. So, I've stopped worrying about what picture I'll be in next, or if the role is the best or the meatiest, or whether I'm being paid more or less than anyone else. Now I have a husband who can worry those things out for me, and he does it with such finesse and clarity that I'm constantly amazed it can look so simple! ''Having a wonderful husband has done so many good things for me. It has clarified my problems, and given me a sense of confidence in myself which I never before had. I have a new goal now, for instance: instead of wanting to be a famous movie star, I want only to be a good actress. Too, instead of thinking only of myself, I have a dual perspective. I'm thinking in terms of two people these days, and I love it! "Overnight, marriage seems to have made me more feminine. I really give thought and time to my wardrobe, because I want to be complimented on the way I look. A year ago I scarcely paid any heed to what I was putting on, because I was thinking of all the things I had to do that day and wondering how I could possibly fit them all into my schedule. Now I dress only for his approval. "Before my marriage, I couldn't sit still for five minutes. I had to be on the go all the time, being with people, doing thing's, working, shopping or anything else that kept me on the move. I used to go to parties and only skim the surface socially, chatting lightly and moving from one person to the next. I realize now that I missed many opportunities for real friendships. "In Rome, after I got to know Vittorio well, I pointed out to him that it was hard for me to understand the working habits there. People worked until 12:30 or 1:00, went home until 3:00, and then came back to work until 7 : 00 or so. The pace seemed too leisurely for me, and I felt that the loss of all that time meant a loss of earning power. "Vittorio's simple comment was: 'With your system you might make more money, but when would you have time to enjoy it?' "Marriage has taught me to be alone and like it. Vittorio plans everything down to an organized schedule — a time for reading, for letters, for music, and so on. He has shown me how to weigh the importance of matters, how to decide which things should be done first and which can wait until tomorrow. This quality alone has helped me unclutter my one-time jammed daily routines. "I know too that I'm gradually learning the secret of how to entertain, and enjoy our parties as much as our guests do. You may wonder at this, but how many hostesses of your acquaintance can be perfectly at ease when they have a gathering at their homes? I wasn't one of those! I fretted and worried for fear that people weren't having a good time, and I suppose just thinking those thoughts showed plainly to everyone else. "I find that I'm beginning to like people more than ever before, simply by watching the way Vittorio gets along with them. I think this is really an accomplishment when you're practically a stranger to the country and the language. He asks them questions, and he's genuinely interested in what they have to say. My talk with others formerly was, I'm a bit ashamed to say, nothing more than what I thought was smart repartee, a lot of sounds signifying nothing. I'm glad those days are gone forever. "I'm learning the knack of suavity and sophistication from my husband just in observing the way he can parry a tricky situation. "The most important lesson Vittorio has taught me is the full meaning of patience. I realize now that one of the prime reasons for many of the disagreements which studded my life in the past came from my frank blurting out of the thoughts that struck me at the moment. If I didn't like something, I said so in no uncertain terms, and let the chips fall where they may. Being tempestuous may win you temporary gains, but the ultimate cost isn't worth it. You and everybodv else wind up with edgy nerves. "Vittorio has brought home to me the
