"My mother sent me the j oak high chair of my grandfather's , eh my brother and I both used as ies. In Southern families these things generally passed down from genera i to generation and I love the idea. J's mother also sent Paul's own baby sinet and baby Nell is very comfort 3 in it." (Already the Newmans have rrtened "Elinor" to Nell, which was nne's grandmother's name.) \ hat will motherhood do to Joanne? or one thing, it hasn't dulled her sharp much-admired sense of humor. As irme showed off the new baby to a ind. she grinned. "Not bad for a first eh?" And when she air-expressed a of shots of the baby out to the Coast nne captioned them "The Three Faces Elinor." : or another thing, motherhood will not e away Joanne's desire to work in her "fession. It's true that the brilliant ng star has declared, upon occasions, t she feels like giving up her career just being Mrs. Paul Newman and ing more babies. "I want to have four idren and raise them to be happy and -Ithy enough physically and mentally they never have any need to go to an ilyst ' she once remarked. 3ut Producer Jerry \Tald, for whom s dedicated actress starred in three rures. doesn't believe Joanne can live hout work. "There is a kind of in-irity which devils her at times." he lares. "And when a picture is wrapped she is ready to swear on a heap of teon bibles that she will never work in — 'there just won't be a role that I do.' She threatens to take up sign nting. become a child psvchologist or rt a course in make-up at Elizabeth len's so she'll have work to do. "In one of her moods, before she left llywood," Wald explained. "Joanne dered she was going to become a house wife and mother her new baby — that she was 'through with work and pictures for at least a year." Not long ago I phoned her in New York and asked her how she was. "Terrible." she said. "The baby's kicking, and so am I. / m not working. Then we talked about "The Sound And The Fun." and I remarked I was thinking of a change in the picture. Joanne started screaming. "Calm down." I said, "calm down. I haven't done it yet; I was just thinking about it." "That Woodward," grinned aid. "If her baby is anything like her, it's just got to be born fighting!" At the moment little Nell is just cooing, eating and sleeping. But long before she was born, her mother was already declaring that her baby will live a life wholly subordinated to its mother. "I don't see why." Joanne declared with great conviction, "once the baby arrives, parents must change their whole way of living. I've already decided that my baby will have to adjust to me: after all, I was here first!" Yet the only '"adjusting" little Elinor Theresa has had to do so far is to have her schedule arranged so that she sleeps late in the morning (as her parents do) and is awake at dinner before Paul goes to the theatre. The baby has tremendous meaning for both Paul and Joanne and thev plan to spend as much time with her as possible. "We want her to grow up as a complete individual, to have an identity of her own, just as Paul and I are striving to achieve that," says Joanne. "Mainly we want her to feel secure." To achieve that Joanne is nursing the baby and is taking care of her. But she realizes that a housekeeper is essential for the hours when Joanne cannot be home and long before the baby came Joanne spent days searching for this jewel of a domestic. At the time she said. "I have no intention of turning the baby over to a nurse who will issue orders to Paul and me about wrhat hours wTe can play with our child or who will get palsywalsy with us in the living room. I'm hunting for a housekeeper-nurse who'll be so busy around the apartment she won't consider the baby her exclusive property." While Joanne was awaiting her baby. Hollywood sent tempting scripts for her to consider. But the determined young actress turned them all down when she found thev would mean a separation from Paul and the baby. "No part." she said, "no matter how wonderful, would ever tempt me to give up the privilege of being with Nell during the very first year of her life. But when I heard that Tennessee Williams" 'Orpheus Descending' would be made completely in New "York, and with Marlon Brando co-starring. I agreed to do it during the summer months."" So it looks as if the amazingly energetic blonde star will have a full year away from Hollywood. "I'm an actress, but I'm a wife and mother first." she declared.
