THE VIEW FROM DANA'S HEAD
The future looks rosy for Dana Wynter, Hollywood's latest British import, who's been called a cross between Ava Gardner and Grace Kelly. Dana herself modestly hopes "to make good without wearing white gloves." Whether she gives up white gloves or not Dana will surely cling to her trademark — extravagantly chic chapeaux. She has closets full of hats and always has had even when she was stony broke.

■ Only two years ago Dana Wynter hit New York, too broke to buy a new hat and too proud to accept one as a present. With echoes of applause from her native England still ringing reassuringly in her ears, Dana was crisply confident about her looks and her talent. And quite sure the Big Town would meet her half wav at least.
Today, after The View From Pompey's Head, they're calling her "the most exciting new personality since Grace Kelly" but Dana can't relax on her new throne. The two years of struggle are too recent. In New York she found out what it feels like to be hungry.
A New York writer, who recalls Dana's street-pounding period with pleasure, remembers how hard she worked to get noticed — on her terms. "She got around a lot, looking like two million dollars. People used to fall on their faces. She was so marvelously turned out. I remember one outfit that was made of mattress ticking. It was sort of shocking and you figured she'd made it herself, but you weren't quite sure. Maybe it cost a fortune. Anyway, she looked great. She couldn't have had a big wardrobe because she didn't have money for cabs and I was always cashing three dollar checks for her. But one time they were photographing her for a fashion layout and she looked so terrific in the hats that the photographer wanted to buy her one. No dice. This girl was frighteningly well bred." {Continued on page 75)
