Said Mr. Sanders, "I belong to a persecuted minority: I am a man." He added sadly that there are fewer of his classification to reach maturity each year, due to wars which women condone because they give older women a chance to be noble and heroic, and younger women a chance to be patriotic by abandonment. When this, and dozens of similar reports were carried in the public press, Mr. Sanders' box-office quotient soared. His quoted observations, coupled with his suppressed power performances, drove the girls wild. Each was convinced in her heart that she could extract the duchess treatment from this emotional grand duke. Score one for feminine intuition. The George Sanders of 1952, although separated from Zsa Zsa Gabor, still barks, but the sound has the friendly ring of a mastiff's voice as he tries to place his paws on your shoulder. When George reported to Columbia for one of his best roles to date, that of the steely, resourceful newspaper editor in "Assignment — Paris," he was asked by studio contacts whether there were any reporters or writers whom Mr. Sanders preferred NOT to see. In the pleasant tone in which one would say, "Delightful weather we're having, isn't it?" he answered. "I would rather not see any of them." Yet he always seemed to be around when newspaper people or magazine writers appeared in search of copy, and he supplied them with the usual Sanders mystery of the descriptive phrase. When he was asked what seemed to be the source of the sour moments in his marriage, George explained that Mrs. Sanders resented his attitude toward her television career. "She became angry when I failed to watch her. She became angrier still when I explained that I was much too sensitive an artist to watch her." Such a statement might lead the innocent to believe that George takes his own career seriously. This is partly true, partly debatable. Like all truly romantic people, he is able to create the perfect illusion before a camera; he is perfectionist enough to be letter-perfect in his lines. More than having committed the script to memory, when he reports on a sound stage he has absorbed the narrative to the end of creating a convincing character. However, when asked how he selects his parts, he says, "I quickly thumb through the script, counting the lines. I divide my salary by the number of lines in the story. Then I compute the number of days off I shall have during the shooting schedule. If the balance between these considerations is weighted on the side of profit and leisure, I accept the part." Perhaps the best summary of the wryly romantic man who is George Sanders is contained in one of his own epigrams. When asked whether he still followed his celebrated practice of falling asleep in his dressing room the instant he had finished a "take" no matter how tumultuous his personal problems at the moment, or how nerve-wracking his professional life, he responded urbanely, "Of course. After all, I've found life on the slopes of a volcano to be most pleasant — between eruptions." 'I'm Not A Character!" — Says Aldo Ray Continued from page 41 College and the University of California at Berkeley he majored in history, minored in political science, always with an eye toward that political career. In 1950 when his townsfolk in Crockett, California, suggested that he run for constable, he gave up his scholastic career, directed his own campaign and beat the man who had been in office 16 years! Seven thousand people elected him the peace officer of their town — and he was only 23 years old! He has every reason lo think he could have gone on and up! It was sheer happenstance that Aldo became an actor and indirectly his politics helped. Let's backtrack a little. Aldo was born in Pen Argyl, Pa., on September 25, 1926, the son of Italian immigrants Silvio and Marie DaRe. {That's pronounced Dah-Ray and he adopted the latter half for his screen name) . When Aldo was 2, the family moved to Crockett in agricultural, central California. Aldo was a good athlete and made the high school football team as a 14-year-old freshman. On the day of graduation he received his induction notice from the Navy and went into serv ice on June 26, 1944. He elected underwater demolition work and served as a frogman for two years in the Pacific. "People have told me, 'You must have no nerves or else you were crazy to choose such a hazardous job.' Which do you think?" he asks with a grin. After his discharge in 1946, he went to college, then was elected constable on November 7, 1950. Several months after Aldo took office, his younger brother. Guido, read an ad in a San Francisco paper that Columbia Studio would interview football players in that section, to appear with John Derek in "Saturday's Hero." Not having a car, Guido persuaded Aldo to drive him to the city and go to the interview with him for moral support. Aldo had no ambition for another job; he liked being constable. But Director David Miller turned down Guido and chose Aldo! Miller asked him to read from the script. "I'm no actor. All I did was one high school play. I can't do a good reading," Aldo protested. "I could do a political speech." Miller told him to go ahead, for he 64
