Nicola Michaels: LOVE ME, LOVE MY FRECKLES ■ Nicola Michaels, the young actress who made such a favorable impression in her initial screen role as Robert Taylor's fiancee in The Power And The Prize, has finally learned to live with her freckles — in fact, now she almost likes them. Not so many years ago Nicola hated them. So she tried all known remedies. Her first attempt to get rid of the freckles was with soap and water. She scrubbed and rubbed, but all she got for her trouble were red welts. Facial soap didn't help; laundry soap was worse; scouring powder was awful. "If I can't wash them off," she thought, "I'll hide them." So Nicola s allowance was spent on a succession of powders and creams and ointments. Then the miracle happened when she was in high school. She overheard two boys talking in the hall. One of them, a boy on whom she had a secret crush, told the other, "The thing I like best about Nicola is that she's so . . . so natural." That night as she examined her freckles, she smiled. They did make her look . . . natural. When Nicola first appeared on the set for the screen test that won her a featured role in The Power And The Prize, the cameramen burst out laughing when they saw her. "Young lady," one of them said, "You're supposed to go to the make-up department before you show up here." Actually. Nicola already had been to the make-up department and they had been just as surprised at her as the cameramen were. They didn't believe her hair was naturally red, and warned her that it might fall out if she continued dyeing it. Nicola had to show them the hair roots before they accepted the fact that red M'as her natural hair color. They wanted to straighten her hair. She refused. They wanted to cover her freckles with special make-up. She refused. Remembering the compliment the boy in high school had paid her years before, Nicola insisted on no changes. She likes looking natural!
