relationship between them, which is akin to that of two schoolgirls. Petite, 99-pound Mrs. Douvan, is a very attractive doll-faced brunette who looks scarcely older than her 17-yearold daughter. So, it's understandable that Sandra, who used to call her "Mom" or "Mommie," now sometimes affectionately calls her "Butch."'

TT WAS Butch who urged Sandra to accept the invitation to , A the high school prom after her recent graduation. But Sandra ' (who hadn't attended a high school but had had a private teacher at the studio) was hesitant, fearful that she wouldn't know anyone there. She also felt that the boy who had invited her — he was president of the class — was doing it as a duty and didn't really want to take her. "Mom," Sandy explained, "insisted that I go, and the argument got louder and louder until we were deadlocked on the issue. Finally, I said I'd talk it over with my teacher, Miss Gladys Hoene; she ; often helps me decide things. Really, she's like a second i mother to me. With both of them in favor, naturally I went. | And I had a wonderful time; danced every dance, and didn't feel at all strange. I must have had rocks in my head when 1 worried so," Sandra grinned.
Thousands of words have been written about her alleged reluctance to date in Hollywood and her lack of girl friends. The answer to this can be found in the fact that she's made eight films during a breathtaking, partly overlapping schedule
("some mornings I didn't even know for sure which picture I was reporting for.") This, in addition, to carrying a full load of high school work with excellent marks. Earlier, in New York, at 13, with the type of face which could be photographed to appear either childish or mature, the exquisite and determined little model was earning up to 850 an hour, posing for magazine art and TV commercials. "We thought she would work maybe once a week after school but it turned out to be six bookings a day," sighed Mrs. Douvan. "Keeping up with her on the appointments exhausted me, but Sandy was never tired."
Just where would this hectic schedule leave time for girlish chatter after school or dates at night?
It's significant, however, that when Sandra attended public school, in her pre-modeling days, she was just as determined to be in on everything in school and president of most of it. At 11, she was boy-crazy, and set about making herself a femme fatale of the ruled-paper set. "Sandra sends notes to boys and talks too much — especially to boys!" her teacher complained to Mrs. Douvan.
Today, it's Mary Douvan who complains that her beautiful daughter doesn't date enough. "There is no pushing her and no stopping her in her work," admits Mary. "She's a perfect tionist who always knows what is best for her. In dating, she's a perfectionist, too. She doesn't go out as much as most girls because, for Sandra, a date must be something real special.

"ONE of the freshest, dewiest faces to turn up in Hollywood in a long time" is the way friend Edd Byrnes described Sandra lately.
