Hollywood Studio Magazine (July 1969)

HOLLYWOOD of what was once New York before an A-bomb blast. Most of the action takes place in the remains of a Manhattan subway", or in the molten carcass of St. Patrick’s Cathedral deep in the earth. The effect is eerie and dramatic, but Jacobs is very touchy about one thing. “We’re not making an underground movie,” the producer insists. * * * Celest Yarnell figures one of the best ways to get along in Hollywood - is to show her attractive figure in the altogether. “Skin is part of an actress’ wardrobe in films nowdays,” Celeste explains. She will appear in the nude for a key scene in “The Phynx,” shooting at Warner Bros.-Seven Arts. Of the part Celeste quips: “My scene is not an altogether ‘altogether’, not everything will show.” * * * Jules Stein, Chairman of the board of MCA Inc., was given the Humanitarian Award of Variety Clubs International at a recent global convention. The only catch, Dr. Stein had to go to somebody else’s hotel to receive the award. Under Stein’s direction MCA just opened the multi-million dollar “Hotel of the Stars,” but Variety chose the Beverly Hilton as site of their conflab. You can’t win them all. * * * HOGGING THE SCENE Here’s perfect casting. A scene at Paramount in “On A Clear Day You Can See Forever” had Barbra Streisand and Yves Montand dancing in a nightclub. Part of the sequence required Streisand to discard a long string of pearls and cast them at the feet of one of the atmosphere actors playing a bistro customer. The actor’s name at whose feet the pearls were cast? Leonard Swyne. * * * * John Carradine will be appearing in a motion picture for the 337th time when he plays Rev. Harper in Oscar L. Nichols’ “King Gun,” and to young acting hopefuls who think they “know it all,” Carradine’s sage comment is: “I learn something new every picture, play or television show in which I appear. No two directors have the same approach; no two stories are the same and no two supporting players react the same way. It’s the most challenging and stimulating existence in the world and I treat each new acting assignment as the first job I’ve ever had.” 4 SUBSCRIBE TO STUDIO MAGAZINE S3.50 a year IT'S The Friendly Purple Shops FOR MUFFLERS - SHOCKS BRAKES - WHEEL ALIGNMENT SMOG DEVICES - TRAILER HITCHES FREE PICKUP AND DELIVERY OR INSTALLED WHILE YOU REST 7 LOCATIONS TO SERVE YOU.
