The most sensational brunette to hit Hollywood since Ava Gardner came west from Carolina, Elaine is getting some pained reactions around Hollywood. According to her escorts, she is not kidding. Among the men who have taken out Elaine Stewart it is pretty well agreed that her dark beauty has an inscrutable "Mona Lisa" quality to it; the better she likes you the less chance you may have of ever dating her again. Any time a friendship gives signs of growing into a romance she makes sure it doesn't. She has admitted it. "I get to thinking I don't want it to go too far and from that point on I shy away, I guess." As one man reported after he had taken her to a few parties and considered himself a suitor for her hand: "Suddenly I got closed out." Yet this man is better off than some notable eligibles who can't even get a date with her. More than one fellow has been driven to attempt lyrical appreciation of Elaine's beauty. A rich Hollywood business man felt sure he would win her favor by sending a lovely, gold-backed mirror together with a quatrain about ". . . beauty should see herself in beauty." Elaine returned the mirror, automatically rejecting the poem. When he telephoned her for a reason she gave him an old fashioned answer: "I don't know you well enough to accept presents from you." "C1 laine's stand against romantic hankypanky at a time when she is getting her career under way was apparent from the moment she arrived in Hollywood. It just took a little time for the word to get around. The first male star she met (and a boy she still likes even if it isn't going to go any further than that) was Scott Brady. The circumstances of their meeting were not original. Elaine had been brought to a party by her first agent and was standing alone for a moment when Scott introduced himself to her. There ensued an exchange of dialogue so dull that they both cringe when recalling it. Here's the way it went, word for word. "I'm Scott Brady. What's your name? I can't believe I don't know you." "Elaine Stewart." "Where've you been keeping yourself?" (He stopped the question there — he didn't say ". . . all my life.") "Around." "What's your telephone number?" "It wouldn't interest you." Scott looked at her as if she were crazy and assured her, "I'll get it!" Elaine never gave Scott her number and he did get it — through studio connections. He phoned her at least a dozen times before she consented to have lunch with him one day. But from that day to this, when Elaine has control of the conversation, they talk only about the business of acting and the conducting of one's professional life in Hollywood. When Elaine faced the problem of changing studios (from Hal Wallis to MGM) which eventually became a problem of changing agents, too, it was Scott who came to her rescue and introduced her to her present agent, Johnny Darrow. Darrow, it might be mentioned, is a presentable and successful man, still in his forties, who finds it no hardship to escort his beautiful client to Hollywood affairs. Elaine makes no bones about the fact that she spends a lot of her weekends down -at Johnny's Malibu home. The house is almost always filled with many of his other clients, including Jane Powell and Gene Nelson. The fellow most people talk about as Elaine's steady escort is Johnny Grant, popular Hollywood disc jockey and a leader in war entertainment work. Johnny's comment is, "I wish it were true." They are good friends, but the friendship is without a romantic future. "Johnny knows it," says Elaine, "and I know it. But no one else seems to be aware of it." Come of Elaine's friends criticize her for ^ being too systematic about herself. "Maybe you can plan a career but you can't plan love," they say. "Love has to happen. Elaine is trying to live a timetable for success." To some extent Elaine agrees with her friends. She believes that nineteen is the ideal age for a girl to marry, and that after that her chances for happiness decrease directly as the years increase. "I'm sure that living alone tends to make a girl more and more complete in herself. In that sense, she can become selfish and less qualified for the partnership attitude necessary to a successful marriage." It may be wiser for Elaine to be a twenty-six-year-old bride than to have been a nineteen-year-old one. She has always felt that the ideal husband for her would be a man ten or fifteen years older than she. The reason for this feeling, she thinks, stems from her childhood. She was IT HAPPENED TO ME I was strolling along Fifth Avenue on a Xovely spring morning , young and chipper in my Easter bonnet, a saucy froth covered with poppies and bright red net that trailed behind me. A tall, wonderful-looking man passed me. When I realized that it was Jimmy Stewart, I turned to stare after him. Imagine how disconcerting it was to turn and find that he had stopped and was staring at me! Gene Desmond Hempstead, New York the eldest daughter in a family beset by debts. In such a situation, children tend to grow up fast, mentally and emotionally. Elaine knew the value of a dollar before she was six years old. If you had it you were safe; if you didn't have it you got bad headaches as her policeman father did. As a child and as a young girl, the only frivolity about Elaine was her desire to become an actress. Because this seemed most unlikely, she played safe and prepared for another career — as a doctor. She graduated from Montclair High School with a B plus average and a scholarship to Green Mountain College for her premedical studies. Had she not become a model in New York, and then an actress in Hollywood, Elaine might be almost ready to hang up her shingle as a doctor — certainly the most beautiful physician in the world. This tendency to think and plan carefully has not changed with her success. It is not something she can control. On her last trip east she went to the Saturday night party of a college group including some of her old friends from Montclair. She enjoyed seeing them again, she loved the dancing and the songs they sang. Yet in their interests, they were from a different world. Most of these kids had not yet felt the weight of responsibility which Elaine has been carrying for years. A girl whose duties and plans have nec
