REVEALS THE HIDDEN BEAUTY IN YOUR HAIR HALO SHAMPOO By CONNIE CURTIS | Remember little Mary Anderson? The sweet, shy, demure little Mary of Bahama Passage and the Henry Aldrich pictures? Well look again. Mary's gone into reverse. Now she's a prize hellcat and hussy, out to give Bette Davis and Ida Lupino a run for their money. Behind the phenomenal change in Mary Anderson is the story of a girl who, when she was good was very, very bad and when she was bad was terrific. Mary left Hollywood last year on a one-way ticket. She was out in the proverbial cold. Today, she returns a conquering heroine, with her pick of studios, stories and contracts. To begin with, what started Mary off on the wrong foot was that she was one of the casualties of Gone With the Wind. At the time it was being cast, every girl in the South -who wasn't bowlegged was shipped to Hollywood to test for Scarlett.

And she had a heap of waiting to do. Finally Vivien Leigh was discovered, and Mary appeared in the film as a distant relative of Scarlett, her sole scene played silently behind a fan. Her mother wrote for her to come home, but instead she took a room at the Studio Club for Girls, hoarded her small capital and started looking for jobs. Bit parts followed, in which capacity she even played a blacked-up native woman in a travelogue.
