NEVER FORGET
stars' most crucial moments

to imagine that people were always talking about me.
"Then, one evening, my mother and I were at the Brown Derby. Opposite us was a group of people, heads together. I kept saying 'I know they're talking about me.'
"Presently a friend of ours joined that other group, talked with them a few moments and then came to speak to us. 'They'd like to meet you,' he said, brightly.
"I was so pleased to know that they thought I was attractive that I welcomed the chance to meet them. But my real 'come-uppance' came when the most romanticlooking man said, suddenly, 'What do you think of the Dodgers' chances this year?'
"It dawned on me that no one had really been discussing me. I swung into focus and got a perspective on myself. What I'd thought was an inferiority feeling had really been exaggerated ego! I wasn't as important as I'd thought!"

"when, friendless and alone, I cracked that last ten-dollar bill in New York.
"I'd never had much of the stuff for my own. And when I inherited an amount which was slightly over a thousand dollars, I took off instantly for New York. Suddenly I found myself with nine dollars and fifty cents of my last ten dollars. No job. No prospect of a job. No friends.
"I hope I shall never feel as lost, as alone, as helpless, again.
"Well, as you all probably know by now, I hitchhiked to Hollywood. It wasn't a pleasant experience. After I got here it was years before I had my break. That wasn't pleasant, either. Some of that thousand dollars would have eased those bumps.
"It will never happen to me again. Whenever I earn a dollar, part of it goes into War Bonds. When I get change for a five-dollar bill, I automatically tuck a little of it in a separate pocket for Future Use. It's a complex now, but it's a useful one."

dozens of dozens of people during an average day. But you never have time, actually, to get to know people.
"So, when people I had admired turned out not to be worthy of it, I was hurt and disappointed.
"One evening, when I was smarting under a special personal disappointment, I went to a dinner party. I found myself sitting next to a friendly and interesting man and presently I found myself telling him all about my latest and most bruising experience. He smiled, with understanding. Then he said something very important.
" 'You must learn to give your hand to many — your heart to only a few.'
"It didn't mean anything much to me as he said it. But I kept thinking about it afterward. I translated it for myself. 'Be friendly to everyone. Save your real heart for your nearest and dearest. 'Don't squander your real emotions.'
"It was months before I learned that my dinner partner had been Dr. Bert Frohman, one of Hollywood's foremost psychoanalysts. He taught me much that night!"
