Photoplay (Jan-Jun 1958)

removed. So it never occurred to me to say I was, or would be, a star. I always felt I was working for the audience, which in turn pleases the exhibitors. The exhibitors are the ones who judge your value, I thought — and not the man who assigns the dressing rooms! “Many actresses start out with one particular goal and never allow themselves to be deterred. In essence, this must be an ideal means to an end, but I had no allover plan. There was no money to hire a press agent. I just had to earn my way and was in no position to be selective. Because of this I never discussed my age, which enabled me to take all parts. How well I remember one particular experience. The girl who played my daughter in this picture was older than myself!” This chatty, enthusiastic girl was the same Dorothy Malone who had a reputation for shunning reporters, Hollywood parties and publicity, Steve thought as she discussed her life. It was hard to believe. But he still didn’t have the proper opening for a personal query or two. “Accepting the setbacks brought about the conclusion that everything in its time comes to pass. Maybe next year, I’d say to myself, I’ll get a good part that no one else wants, or can’t get. So eventually through learning to fight for myself, I got a test for ‘Battle Cry.’ I was signed the second they saw it and it was great going back to Warners. People seemed so surprised when I didn’t crow over my socalled victory. They just didn’t understand. Although I knew I had been fighting a losing battle, I never turned bitter along the way. “After I won my Academy Award, practically everyone advised me to now hold off. They enumerated the reasons why it was so important to go from one award picture to another, but how can you bank on a myth? And how could I forget that every picture looked like my last picture for quite a few years. Naturally, I wish I could do more pictures that are considered tops in Hollywood, but the whole truth is: The smaller ones have given me the breaks! Maybe it’s because I came up the hard way, but I can’t turn my back on the people who had faith in me and put me in those pictures. “You can’t always judge a part in advance,” she continued, “so sometimes you must take on a part as a challenge. A part can look like it’s the greatest and the public will turn its back. When they handed me the script of ‘Written on the Wind,’ I was told that Lauren Bacall had first choice and I had no objection. As it turned out, the role she turned down won me an Award! So who knows? Maybe she was paving the way for something great later on. You can never tell who is winning or losing in life. I think my role in the Cagney picture (Steve noticed she didn’t mention its title — “Man of a Thousand Faces” — a modest touch) paved the way for portraying Diana Barrymore in ‘Too Much, Too Soon.’ Both parts have progression and this appeals to me.” According to the Hollywood grapevine, Dorothy was begged, beseeched and prevailed upon not to depict the tempestuous life of the late and great John Barrymore’s ill-fated daughter. The story went that Dorothy’s harassed agents had bagged a beautiful costarring role in a Glenn Ford western. Furthermore, director William Wyler was anxious to secure Dorothy for top billing in his current “Big Country,” opposite Gregory Peck. But “Too Much, Too Soon” won out. “I know ‘Too Much’ is a gamble,” said Dorothy, “But I would be a coward if I ran out on it. Someone has to play these girls who get lost along the way and make them understood by others.” OPPORTUNITIES for EVERYBODY Publisher's Classified Department (Trademark) ■\ For advertising ratet, write to William R.
