Modern Screen (Jan-Nov 1956)

over to the boxoffice and found out one trouble with Shirley — she was already signed by Hal Wallis. But the contract provided for an outside picture and so Shirley signed again — or Steve did, because he was her manager by then. In a few days he was her husband as well. They got hitched at the Marble Collegiate Church on a Friday. Shirley quit The Pajama Game on Saturday and Sunday she left with Steve for Stowe, Vermont, to make The Trouble With Harry. Halfway through, the news about Shirley traveled to Hollywood. Hal Wallis put director Frank Tashlin to work writing in a part for her in Artists And Models and Mike Todd grabbed her next for . Around The World In 80 Days. Hired one morning, Shirley was on the plane for Durango, Colorado, that night, with her red hair dyed black to play an Indian princess, of all things. Around The World in 80 Days has almost turned into a case of around the calendar in 365 days for Shirley. But in between she and Steve got a trip to Japan, a terrific thrill to them both in more ways than one. Shirley first felt woozy bobbing in a fishing boat off the base of Fujiyama. But the Tokyo doctor said, "in Dorothy McGuire was signed for Hollywood and became a star after her appearance in the title role of the Broadway hit, Claudia. When she applied for the role, Miss McGuire was ending her run with John Barrymore in My Dear Children. She went to the office of producer John Golden who told her: "Drop your hair. Yes, you're Claudia." ... He later explained his quick decision: "She was the first girl who didn't apply in mink coat and nail polish." Leonard Lyons in The Nem York Post testinal flu." The "flu" got worse on the plane home across the Pacific and a rabbit test in Hollywood told the truth. Shirley's due to be a mama in September. This keeps her closer than ever to the Malibu duplex, which hangs over the waves right next to the stretch of beach the Parkers have bought to put up their own place soon. The funny part about this California beachcombing existence is that Shirley can't stand the sun. It only makes her Irish complexion puff up pink like a boiled lobster and then brings out a few million more of her "spotted tan," freckles to you. A while back when a car out of control ploughed into her MG, Steve got his neck in a brace from the bump and Shirley got a wrenched back. Although the accident happened in Hollywood, it turned out the lady who lost control lived right next door to them at Malibu. Moreover, when Shirley's lawyer came out to settle details, the same flustered lady backed out of her garage and smacked him! Shirley telis that one only to prove that you never know what will happen, where or when— especially if you get panicky. Already plenty has happened to the powerhouse kid from Dixie. But she's keeping her red head cool, her fingers crossed and her ballet shoes hanging handy. "For all I know I might be back on Broadway dancing in a chorus again iome day," she ponders. "It's up to the oublic. That's why I don't see much sense n getting all in a sweat." For a girl who just wound up her wenty-first year this April, that's pretty sound philosophy, if a little fatalistic, rhere's only one flaw: Shirley forgets hat the public has already spoken. They i'eem to say they like Shirley MacLaine ust like she is. END J Now! One dreamy mJ cleansing floats away even long-stay makeup!
