Instead he went on, "We all have manyfaceted roles in life, and in order to succeed we should make use of them. This is especially important in the case of the Hollywood celebrity who has to fulfill the role of wife, or mother, or civic and community member, etc. They should be reminded that, as members of our society, they are duty-bound to fulfill all their roles to the best of their ability." In this top psychologist's opinion, that could provide the balancing wheel in the sometimes uneven design for living of the stars. As to the question of how much do they need help — how sick are they — is Hollywood a town hovering between insanity and intelligence — the consensus is that, like any town in America and the people that live there, the pace is only as fast as you make it. If it gets too fast — and it sometimes does in Hollywood — then the road to the Menninger Clinic and all practitioners of a mental form of medicine, is clear. END WHY I DON'T LIKE DANGEROUS DATES (CONTINUED FROM PACE 25) hair done, get made-up, and into your costume. It's always 6: 30 or 7 p.m. before I start for home. Qf course, I could leave right after 6, but I'd rather take my shower in my studio dressing-room — because there's more hot water there than there is at home! Sometimes I meet Bob Wagner for a quiet dinner before going home. Bob is as busy with his career as I am with mine, so he understands my situation. We like to see as many movies as we can. We like to bowl, and swim. We talk and laugh up a storm. And he's so considerate in every way. He insists on following me home in his car when I drive after dark, for he worries about whether I'm safe. Whenever I have a date with a boy for the first time I invite him to the house to meet my parents. We either have dinner at home or I ask a couple I know to double-date with us. I never go out alone with a boy on a first date. Saturday night is the only time I can really plan a date ahead, because I don't have to get up early on Sunday. But even then I don't have to go to a big party or a night club or anything fancy. Companionship is the important thing to me. I've learned this about dates: Be honest! That's why I tell a boy on the first date that I'm not the type for mushy stuff. If I have to "pretend" to interest him, then he isn't going to be the companion I want. So I save us both a lot of strain by laying the cards on the table. I believe that if a girl is definite from the first date she'll have no trouble. She has to take a stand, establish her own reputation, and it'll protect her from then on. There are plenty of nice fellows who take out girls just for fun, and don't go in for heavy necking. If you have to sneak out to meet a boy then that's a dangerous date and not for me. I want everything aboveboard. My folks always encouraged me to make my own decisions. At home, when I make a mistake, I take the blame. I've never had to be deceitful, and I've no desire to start. I know that my family and my friends would be happy if I fell in love — and they would trust my judgment. But until I can announce my engagement and get married within a few months I'm not even going to go steady. Dates that might trip you into carrying a torch are dangerous and foolish. I honestly don't think I'll fall into this kind of a trap, though. You don't carry a torch until you stoop over to pick it up. If someone attracts you, but you know your ideas clash, don't go out with him at all. Why does one boy have to be the only one in the world, after you've observed his behavior and it's evident he is on a different road? Why make yourself miserable? I believe you can tell before it's too late. He won't be irresistible once you admit he doesn't want to change to fit your own idea of a husband. If his faults annoy you, that's the warning sign! But remember, he has the right to lead his own life. It's a temptation to put only your best side forward, but I resist this urge. If a boy is the right one, he won't vanish. He'll be there tomorrow. I have lots of faults. Ask Bob Wagner, or any boy I go out with, and they'll give you a list of my drawbacks. I confess I have 'em, and want to get rid of them — but, meanwhile, I'm just human. I'm glad I am not impulsive about important things. Every time I've made a snap decision I've been wrong. I'm not mapping out the future. I've never done that. I think it's silly to claim I must have a specific thing. It's so useless! We can't know what's ahead. We may discover we have ability we never suspected in our giddiest moments. However, I'm convinced we can decide deliberately to make the most of what each day is offering us. I can concentrate on what's right in front of me. If I do, then I can tackle the next step wholeheartedly. I've learned that you can't coast in any business if you want to be valuable to your employer. You have to be eager to acquire skills if you're going to be worth promotions. I'm not fooled by movie "fame." An actor or actress can be forgotten in a few months. In Hollywood you're exactly as good as your last picture. Alibis don't interest any boss. I found this out when I was only 14 and 15 and worked during Christmas vacations at Newberry's and Penny's. It's the same in the movies. I'm paid to be completely prepared when I arrive on the set — and I must be on time. Now I know that growing up anywhere teaches us that no 56
