Hollywood (1942)

Up in Eleanor's Attic [Continued from page 21] Eleanor was thrilled. She was also curious, and her answering letter said in part: "It's only fair that you send me a snapshot of yourself, so I can see for myself what my first fan looks like." They've been corresponding ever since. For the first four years, although Norton didn't know it at the time, his letters from Eleanor were written by her mother. Because Eleanor, wanting to make a good impression, told her mother: "You answer the letter, your handwriting is better than mine." Everytime Eleanor cut a clipping about herself from a magazine, she sent an identical clipping to Norton, so that he had as complete a record of her career as she had. All his clippings went into a scrapbook, and it was the charred remains of it he sent to her recently, with the plea: "I can't get you back again the way I had you, but it will help if you send me a whole lot of old photographs." Eleanor dug around in her attic, and sent him as many as she could find. While she was working in Broadway Melody of '36, Norton met and fell in love with an English girl. He wrote: "Elly, I've met a lovely girl, who is quite like you, with the same smile and mannerisms." When they became engaged, Eleanor sent them a gift. Later, she sent them a wedding present, and also a note to Richard, suggesting that perhaps his wife would prefer they stopped their correspondence. Norton's answer was definite. "My wife loves you, too. Please keep writing." Now Eleanor is the godmother of their young son. When she looks around the attic at her souvenirs, those are some of the things that Eleanor Powell remembers. No wonder she doesn't need a diary! d .. , ■ ,k. -', J* ' 'V.^:' '■■:U--~':v* ■':••■'■■':' 3r']l . i :.,:■■',•"; ■ 31 Linda Darnell sneaks a peek at her favorite comic book between scenes of her latest picture, Twentieth CenturyFox's The Loves of Edgar Allan Pop FABRICS ARE GETTING SCARCE!
