Movie Classic (Mar-Aug 1936)

For once a star was untirely unaware of the snooping cameraman's presence— hence this unusual picture of Margaret Sullavan, relaxing in her garden after a dip in her swimming pool. Her current release is The Moon's Our Home, in which she co-stars with her ex-husband, Henry Fonda Can You Qualify for Stardom? [Continued from page 43] beautiful bodies can be developed through proper diet and exercise. Poise and carriage can be acquired by anyone. "Many who have come to Hollywood," Van Dyke points out, "with the latent requisites for stardom, have, through self-indulgence lost their most valuable assets. A beautiful figure needs constant care. It requires the constant curbing of appetites, and the perpetual maintenance of health. No woman can impress herself as a personality if she shows weakness through the very fact that she has permitted herself to deteriorate." Deterioration is as quickly recognized in a woman's own social circle as it is on the screen. And carries as heavy penalties with it. "In Hollywood," says Van Dyke, "there is no place for a lazy person. Indulgence and indolence leave their marks on mental attitudes as well as on face and figure. "Not only to become a star, but to continue, demands a rigorous program of self-training. No star has ever lasted long who has burned the candle at both ends. The luminaries who continue in favor are those who sublimate their work, and to whom every other consideration is secondary. They go to bed early for the needed rest when they are in the midst of a picture. They watch themselves with hawk-like eyes for first traces of fatigue. "There is a penalty attached to everything we do contrary to natural laws. A girl ages quickly when she becomes too fatigued. To retain beauty means to budget your days and to include ample rest in your schedule. Nothing of importance can be accomplished by the perpetually weary woman. Her personality is dimmed and the electric quality in her sizzles out." And Van Dyke, too, says that to be a star or to be a complete woman requires a mental and spiritual balance, a keen intelligence which the survivors in the race for Hollywood glory must either possess or acquire. "The old phrase 'beautiful but dumb' does not hold in Hollywood. The beautiful ones dare not be dumb or their beauty adds up to exactly nothing. For intelligence dove-tails into the other requirements. The intelligent person does not continue in discouragement, but finds new founts of courage. And no one has ever accused Hollywood of being a place where fear is subsidized. The trophies always belong to those who keep on going, keep on trying, when all the odds are against them." THAT takes courage. It took courage for Myrna Loy to go on and on playing everything that came to her hand, waiting for her chance. If she had not had that priceless ingredient of courage and patience, she today would not have been sitting securely on the topmost rung of the ladder of achievement.
