Q. What do you think is your worst feature? A. My height. It's awfully hard on the neck at times, especially when I'm working with those six feet four glamour boys. I had three tall ones in Panama Hattie and had to massage the crick out of my neck every night. Q. What news story about yourself did you most resent? A. The one that said that after six golf lessons I could drive the ball 400 yards! Q. What was your greatest personal disappointment? A. Being the offstage voice of a dog in a dog "short" when I first started in films. Q. What experience in your life do you believe most strengthened your character? A. The time I was off the screen for a year. I had been doing sweet young thing roles and I wanted to change my type before the sweetness suffocated me. It was a hard year and I wasn't sure, at times, if I was doing the smart thing. But it taught me to stick to my guns and, thank heavens, I was right. Maisie came along and gave me a new lease on my career. Q. In your opinion, who are among Hollywood's five most beautiful women? A. Hedy Lainarr, Joan Fontaine, Vivien Leigh, Mrs. Ray Milland and Billie Burke. Q. What are your main idiosyncrasies? A. Arranging my hair to coincide with my mood; saying "Really," and thinking of something else; being an amateur doctor. Q. What attempt in your life turned out to be a failure? A. Amateur photography. I jusL can't understand why those negatives never have anything on them. Q. About what are you most careless? A. Time ! Q. What attitude exists now between you and Roger Pryor since your divorce? A. We are most friendly. Q. In what ways are you lazy? A. 1 hate to get up, I hate to make plans ahead of time, I hate shopping, wardrobe fittings, returning telephone calls and making out menus.
