Bonita Granville was plenty nervous that one time, but what she did showed up her nature
Greer Garson: What was behind that recent incident in the M-G-M still gallery?
Merle has an innate instinct for the human niceties. There was the day when many white-haired extras were working on an Oberon set. Swiftly, gently — no one was meant to overhear — ^as Merle passed her mciid she whispered, “Have the prop boy bring camp chairs for all the older people, so they may rest when they aren’t working.” Fearless also remembers the beautiful deference Merle showed the late Eldna May Oliver, who played with her in this picture. And a camp tour which Merle, not too strong, made overseas. It smd the several weeks she spent in a rest home upon her return to these shores had little or no publicity.
On the screen Charles Boyer is a suave charmer — no one can deny it!
Greer Garson has the graciousness of a true queen. But once or twice, lately, she has not shown the consideration her charming manner always promises.
When she and Ronald Colman were making “Random Harvest” they had an appointment together in the still gallery. Ronnie, who makes a religion of being on time whether the appointment is to his advantage or the other fellow’s, arrived on the minute.
Much later he walked out — just before Greer cjime in. Understandably enough, it took some time to arrange another appointment although Ronnie, with a gentility that is not reserved for his own circle of friends but spreads to the farthest corners of studio sets and wardrobe departments, is usually extremely co-operative.
Many times it depends entirely upon your point of view whether a man or woman gets a gold star for being a nice human being . . .
Take girls like Tallulah Bankhead, Constance (Continued on page 90)
Tallulah Bankhead's famous for that rapier wit, but here’s one time actions are louder than words
In the studios he is a slightly worried gentleman who guards his property rights with the tenacious frugality of the French. He has, because of his quality on the screen and his quality off the screen, attained vast success and fortime. Now surely he could afford to be gallant, for instance, about sharing his star billing with an actress as gifted and delightful— off screen too, by the by — as Ingrid Bergman. But when David Selznick, who “owns” Ingrid, stipulated to M-G-M, who borrowed her to play with Monsieur Boyer in “Gaslight,” that she receive equal billing, there was a rumpxis. Charles would not, he said firmly, make the picture unless he had top star billing.
In the end, Ingrid, who wanted to play the part and who never has argued about billing anyway, coaxed David Selznick to relinquish her star-status. Boyer got his billing. But we’ll bet Bergman will get the notices.
