Especially to Director Alfred Hitchcock, who did both “Dial M for Murder” and “Rear Window.” For Mr. Hitchcock Grace feels a personal enormous gratitude and great respect. And she was more excited than I have ever seen her about winning the New York Critics Best Actress of the Year (1954) Award. Here, again, Grace has clarity — she distinguishes between the laurels that are made of tinsel and the green and lasting laurels that will grow. Now that her success is on the level it is, Grace is in process of reorganizing her life. She is planning to take a larger apartment. Instead of fixing herself a frozen chicken pie or something, as she’s been doing, she’ll have help. Up to now she’s been living, in other words, like a young actress without roots. Now her life is going to be more organized, lived on a larger scale, as befits a young actress who has taken root in her life — deep and sturdy roots. I think, too, she will now be very discriminating about the pictures she makes. She mentioned the other day, “I’m not going to do anything unless it is a good part in a good script. Meantime, I’ll stay in my apartment with my poodle and my friends and my books and my theatre — and rest.” People will call this “temperament.” It won’t be — merely a matter of taking what she wants from the life instead of letting the life take her over. When she marries she’ll be the same, only more so. No matter how high a level her career has reached, she will never live on one level. Young as she is, Grace Kelly has already asked herself, “What am I doing with my life?” And she knows the answer. Which is why success may change the four walls within which she lives but will not essentially change her. bpirtU t.Idi J|C0K test foi ysl W3) assist; iterday' Sort ol ‘Alik parti here other aitci '. Grace is lucky, it’s true, because she comes from a family of background and money and protection so that she comes equipped with strength. But you can misuse this, you know, and she hasn’t. The fact is that Grace is an exponent of what we in the profession are now and what we want to be. What we want is to get away from the nonsense, away from $ ■ :: the lush self-indulgence and extravagance you read about in the earlier days ol Hollywood that gave us no life at all, tc something that does. We’re fighting in very sane way to retain values, to make the career work for us as well as we for it so that we end up with some dough, some life apart from the career, some health and happiness. Because Marlon Brando doesn’t fit intc any cliche, he is called eccentric anc crazy. He isn’t. He is trying to be mature human being. Because Grace doesn’t fit into any cliche doesn’t carry a pet monkey on her shoulder, doesn’t go in for exhibitionism of anj sort or kind, people say she’s cold, shy She isn’t cold. Everything Grace doe: stems from a very feeling person. But deep feeling and real, not just for show. I’rr sure Grace doesn’t say, or even consciously think, I won’t give any of myself tc this interviewer. And I’m sure, too, tha her success is enabling her, in a curiou: way, to be more open and more giving o: herself. Meantime, she is merely tryinp to protect herself, to save herself for hei life. It’s a different era we’re living in, that’: Jhrooi all. Of this different era, Grace is a shininp example. She is gentle. She is a gentle woman. She is very wholesome. She ha: |refe the healthy thing. It is this, added to hei natural talent, that has made her the stai she is on-screen and off. For ask yourself Is there anyone else in pictures like her'.

I sidenti Duke— Prince Among Men Dev 21 t The: sc s i ( Continued from page 54) No one even mentioned the picture. Duke admired the scenery; Budd gave us a history of Mexico and the rest of the group played gin rummy in the back seat. The closest Duke came to talking about the picture was to say that we were going south “to get the feel of Mexico.” We got the feel of Mexico all right. Or perhaps Mexico got the feel of us. Mexico drew me like a magnet. I was magnetized by the dry red earth, the white plaster buildings glittering in the sun, the intense faces of the people in the streets. I got the impression that Duke felt the same way. The last morning, I knew that he did. We were standing outside the training ring at a bull ranch, watching the becerras, those dangerous little cows who were being tested to determine whether they had the courage and the strength to become the mothers of fighting bulls. If so, their sons would, perhaps some day in the future, fight and die at La Plaza de Toros in Mexico City. “Fine country, Mexico,” Duke said. “Damn fine country.” I think he was searching for a word to describe how he felt. There is such a word. He didn’t know it then, nor did I. It’s a word that has no equivalent in English, a word that describes the way bullfighters feel about bulls and perhaps the way that bulls feel about bullfighters. Simpatico. The word is part of Duke’s vocabulary now — and mine. But on that morning he didn’t know that Mexico was to be simpatico to him or he to it. He just stared at King i lie oil lexica lonor hist' the other bull ring, standing in the ho sun, watching the novice bull knock ove the apprentice toreros. Without moving, without turning hi head toward me, he said, “Want to try ii Bob?” I looked into the ring. Baby bulls wh weighed nearly half a ton. Bulls whos horns weren’t big enough to slash wit! but who pounded their opponents agains the walls of the ring. “Okay,” I said. Then I stood in the ring, squintin against the sun. One of the men tossed m his cape. I held the cape awkwardly in front c me. I waved it at the bull, and he chargee I jumped aside and turned to face hir again. This time his horns caught my arr and spun me around. Next time he di even better; he hit me square in the stom ach. Knocked off my feet, I rolled over o the ground. I got up, brushed myself o and tried again. I was a novice, all right. When I finall limped out of the ring, my arm bleedin from a stone cut, I was still carrying th cape. Duke took it from me, tossed it ove his arm and walked slowly down the step into the ring. That is something that is integral 1 Duke’s sense of honor — his refusal to as anyone to do something he is not willing t do himself. Of course, he is such a super natural athlete that this is something lik a jet pilot’s inviting you to take his plan up and try a few fancy rolls.
