Modern Screen (Jan-Dec 1960)

A I had health hygiene in school. It started in the ninth grade. In some schools they start in the eighth. I went to a Catholic school, and the sisters instructed us. They sent the girls out of the class room and then we had free discussion. Most of us were embarrassed, but frankly, they didn't tell anything we didn't already know. In fact, most teen-agers know the answer before they get into a hygiene class. 9 How did you first learn about sex? A I lived in a big city, full of a lot of people. By the time I'd gone through school I hadn't missed much, and then the crowds I hung around with helped fill in. My father talked things over with me, too. Q When do you feel is the best time for a boy and a girl to get married? A I feel that a fellow should be about twenty-five, but that doesn't mean he can be stopped — or should be stopped — if he meets the right gal tomorrow, and elopes to Mexico. You can't really say someone is too old or not old enough. It's more a matter of whether or not they are ready and willing to take on the responsibility of marriage." 9 Did you ever read any books on sex? A No. 9 Did you know that Annette Funi cello has a big crush on you, Fabian, and Paul Anka? A Yes. 9 How do you feel about her? A I like to be with her. But I'm not in love with her. 9 When did you fall in love for the first time? A I've never been in love. I've had crushes on millions of girls. I'm never in one place long enough to get really attached. Today I may be in Buffalo, and tomorrow in Minnesota. I meet too many girls to fall in love. 9 When did you first kiss a girl? A At a party, when I was eight. 9 When did you kiss a girl for the first time when it meant something? A When I was thirteen. 9 Do you consider yourself worldly, or naive? A Neither. I've always hung around older fellows, and as a result have always known more answers than I should know at my age. 9 Are actresses on location too friendly? A Sometimes they are. I try to be friendly — but if it gets serious, I try to get out of it by kidding them. end f OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOU For rates, ite COMBINED CLASSIFIED \^ 529 W.

She did fairly well in school — history being her best subject, arithmetic her worst. Her favorite foods were homemade apricot ices and burned-sugar cake ("To this day on her birthday, ask her what she'd like best," her mother said recently, ''and it's a burned-sugar cake.") Her favorite color was red — she had two prized red skirts. Her favorite pastime was to pretend she was sick. ("Just so I could go to bed," she's said, "and lie back against the big pillow and design beautiful clothes for my paper dolls, and wait for my mother to bring me a glass of warm milk and some buttered toast. . . .") Her ambition in life was to become a secretary and work in a downtown office, just like one of her aunts did. She loved animals and secretly considered the family dog, a brown and sadeyed mutt, to be hers. She liked insects, too, and once befriended a fly her mother had swatted from the kitchen wall, picking up the stilllive fly from the floor after her mother had left the room and taking it to the desk, in the room she shared with Arlene, placing it on a blotter and talking to it, consolingly, until it died half an hour or so later. She was sometimes mischievous. ("One Easter around this time we went visiting some friends of the family. There was lots of candy on the table next to where I was sitting, and I had this urge to steal some of it. I was wearing a dress with a pocket and I stuffed the pocket full. Only I'd forgotten the pocket had a hole in it. And when I got up to say good-bye — bang, all over the floor, about twenty pieces of candy!") Mischievous sometimes, yes. But, mostly, she was a dreamer. She dreamed of growing up someday. Of maybe being pretty someday. Of having beautiful clothes, like the kind she drew for her paper dolls. Or what that office downtown, where she would some day work and begin to make her mark in life, would look like. Of lots of things — none of them extraordinary, but all of them important to her .... Meanwhile, Richard Quine • • • In 1941, that same year, twenty-year-old Detroit-born Richard Quine (his real name) signed a contract with MGM Studios in Hollywood and was touted as a real star of the future. There was little reason to believe that this would not be the case. He was good-looking — had blue eyes, light brown hair, stood six feet three. He was charming. He was bright. And he was a good actor. (He has learned lots from his dad, Thomas Quine, vaudeville veteran, reads his studio biography of the time, has appeared on hundreds of radio programs since age six and recently spent a year in New York playing the young male lead in the hit play, My Sister Eileen, starring Shirley Booth. . . .) Early the following year — some two months after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and America's entry into the war — Dick began work on his third picture. It was titled Tish. Also in the picture was a young MGM contract actress named Susan Peters. Susan, an extremely talented girl, was also a very beautiful girl. It wasn't long before Dick fell in love with her, and she with him. ("She likes to swim and rhumba — so why shouldn't I love her?" Dick jokingly told a reporter. Said Susan: "He's gentle and handsome — I can't think of a better combination.") They went together for exactly a year and they were engaged in February of 1943, during a party, the night before Dick left Hollywood for duty with the Coast Guard. In the summer of that year Susan got her biggest professional break to date, a lead in Random Harvest, with people like Ronald Colman and Greer Garson. In late October, immediately following completion of the picture, she flew to her hometown, Spokane, Washington, to make plans for the wedding. Dick, nervous, excited, arrived on special leave the night of November 6. The following morning, he and Susan were married and took off, in a borrowed car, for Santa Barbara and their honeymoon.
