His first remunerative job was shoveling snow from his grandmother's lawn for which she paid him ten cents. He is the tallest of all screen stars. He is shy, sincere and a dry wit. His father was a fairly well-known concert violinist and he lives in an Early American house which he built. He and his wife call each other by their proper names. He likes tan shoes, Lily Pons and relaxing with his feet up on the desk. His chin is dimpled. He jokingly claims he got by at college because of his athletic prowess. He is addicted to striped neckties. He likes the smell of wood fires, carries no fountain pen, and never has hunches. He always remembers where he put things and plays gin rummy or backgammon with his wife. He likes casual jackets, modern classical music, and sitting at soda fountains devouring chocolate nut sundaes with whipped cream. He eats at a drive-in only under duress. FRED MacMURRAY hasn't written a letter practically since he's been married, leaving all correspondence to the Mrs. He is a Class A skeet-shooter. He is a bad after-dinner speaker. His grandfather was a Presbyterian minister and he is a member of a golf club and a duck-shooting club. He owns an 860-acre dirersified farm near Healdsburg, California. He has no definite plans for the future, taking life in stride. He is not a good card player. He is very lazy. His favorite hobby is a workshop where he tinkers with wood and leather. He doesn't like political commentators on the air, hot springs resorts or cigarette holders. He is an air-raid warden. He was discovered for the screen while he was a member of a band known as "The Collegians," in which he played a saxophone and sang a high baritone. He was appearing in the stage production of "Roberta" at the time. He was born on August 30, 1908. He considers his best picture "The Gilded Lily," in which he co-starred with Claudette Colbert, who again appears with him in his new Paramount picture, "No Time For Love." He has never attempted to compose any music. He was discovered and tested for Hollywood by Oscar Serlin, film talent scout and later producer of "Life With Father." His only superstition is walking under ladders. He has an English setter, a cat and six guns of varying calibres. His wife, Lily, owns a Pomeranian and his boyhood idol was Rudy Weidoft, famous saxophonist. Fred MacMurray is a devoted follower of the adventures of Flash Gordori and Dick Tracy. He was ten-letter man in scholastic athletics, prefers quiet evenings at home, and is the only member of his family (aside from his father) to be connected with the show business. He doesn't like night clubs and weighs 200 pounds. He abhors the thought of eating snails. He would rather live on Vancouver Island then anywhere else because hunting and fishing are abundant there. He was best in English and history at school, and flies "only to get places." His youth was marked by an ambition to become a painter and for a time he studied with an art students' league in Chicago. He enjoys most watching football, hockey and tennis, and thinks compulsory physical examination before marriage should be a national law. He cannot tango or rhumba. He is very fond of raw oysters and wears an old brown felt hat. He shoots golf about 90. |_| E has no collecting hobbies, likes ham' ' burgers with a thick slice of onion and plays a fair game of tennis. His literary taste is expressed in a fine collection of hunting and fishing books. He likes driving with the radio on, and has no aversion to eating alone. He once worked between school terms in a canning factory, buying himself a horn and a saxophone from his earnings. He met his wife during the stage production of "Roberta" in which she was dancing. He is not given to temperamental outbursts, cannot drink stout ale, and is not a believer in fortunetellers. He spent one year at Carroll College at Waukesha, Wisconsin. "Alfred Lunt went there, too." He speaks a smattering of Spanish and as a boy was not too popular with girls. He has never been to Europe. He avoids argumentation, drinks lots of milk in preference to coffee, and wears belts with slacks and suspenders with suits. He sleeps exceedingly soundly. He never reads publicity about himself. He never gets headaches and regrets not having continued his singing lessons. He shaves with a safety razor and likes talking with friends on the telephone. He was sixteen when he was graduated from high school, the youngest member of his class. He once tried house-tohouse selling of electrical appliances and clerking in a department store. His passion for shooting once resulted in what he terms "MacMurray 's Folly," which was an underground shooting gallery in the back of his garden and which ended its purpose when the first heavy rains flooded it. He knows virtually ■nothing about plants. He swims a crawl and carries a wallet jammed with cards, a list of air-raid wardens and a picture of his baby girl. He is completely relaxed in a barber chair. 92 Repeat performance: Fred MacMurray, who once earned a boyhood living washing dishes, does some more of the same at the Hollywood Canteen photoplay combined icith movie mirror
