they reflect every fleeting change of emotion. Her hair is a bronze-brown. Lenore's childhood was a series of convents, all of spartan simplicity, and the only bright spots were when her mother visited her and took her to the cinema. Beauty-starved, she was thrilled with the glamour of those film dramas. She lived each scene and for weeks afterwards rehearsed them in a secret corner of the convent garden until she convinced herself she could be a great actress. Graduating at eighteen, she entered the Beer Seminar Dramatic School in Vienna, and soon won parts in both stage and screen plays. She was well on her way to fame, when in March, 1938, panic struck its blow: Hitler took over Austria. "Hitlet can never hold the conquered countries," said Lenore. "The people have been forced to bow, but in their hearts they despise and hate him with a fury that will eventually cause his destruction. We must, we will— win this war!" She paused as she glanced around the cheerful living room, so remote from the devastation of Europe. "One sorrow mars my happiness. I want my mother to be here, sharing this beautiful life with me. After completing my picture I flew to Washington to arrange the necessary papers to bring her to America. Everyone was so very kind, so considerate, but there is a delay with the French authorities. I don't know what it is but hope it will soon be settled. "I want to make pictures, many pictures," Lenore slipped into a gayer mood. "And I want a different kind of a role in each. There's terrific excitement in developing a new character, in dropping my own personality and becoming another person. "I played a spy in They Got Me Covered. It's different from anything I have ever done, and it was a real adventure. We laughed and had fun, with Bob Hope's comedy ever on tap. Bob made my test with me, and throughout the picture, he, Director David Butler and Dorothy Lamour helped me master the Hollywood movie technique. "Walking onto the set to make my first scene, I saw Otto Preminger waiting to play the leader of the spy ring, of which I was a member. It was a happy surprise, for we knew each other in Vienna." "What about romance?" "It hasn't touched me yet — seriously," was her gay retort. "I'm in no hurry. Right now, I'm too busy to think of romance, but when real love comes, I hope I'll recognize it. "My days are full. I take language lessons, for while I have spoken English since a child, I am working to eliminate all trace of an accent so that I can play any American role. Too, I have a daily music lesson; sometime I hope to sing in a picture. "I took this apartment when I was expecting Mother to arrive. Now, to my surprise, I find I am domestic. I'm learning to cook — by the book, and I nervously invite a few friends now and then for dinner. But my favorite menu is a Hollywood hamburger at one of your picturesque drive-ins. Oh yes, and topped off with a chocolate sundae.
