Photoplay (Jan-Jun 1958)

about her. Instead of just scribbling her name on the autograph sheets they offered her, Dorothy asked 'What’s your first name?’ and wrote their names down, too. Suddenly out of the crowd, a little old lady came up, with a flash bulb camera. Dorothy looked at her with her ‘God bless you’ expression, and posed for pictures at her request. Half the flash bulbs didn’t go off, but Dorothy kept standing there while she dug down in her pocket to fish out another bulb. Someone else would have probably been irritated. “If someone does something to hurt Dorothy, she’ll most likely say, ‘Oh, they probably didn’t mean it.’ And there’s a naturalness to her. She never tries to ‘put on.’ “She was voted Catholic Woman of the Year three years ago. When Dorothy gets married she wants to feel married for the rest of her life. According to her religion she cannot marry a divorced man. In Hollywood it’s pretty hard to find exactly your ideal who has never been married before. I think she’d make a wonderful wife. She likes an awful lot of people, but when she analyzes marriage, maybe she’s a little too idealistic. I tell her it isn’t like in the story books. You can’t find a prince charming. But I think she’s looking for the one she feels she’ll always be married to the rest of her life. “She’s one of the few girls I know who has reached the top and stayed clean and wholesome. She doesn’t smoke. She will take a glass of wine or a cocktail, but never drinks to excess. “If she found the right person, her marriage would come before her career. I think her career is more or less something she’s working at real hard because it is the only thing she has at present to fill her time with the family away. In the last two years she’s definitely decided she is going to concentrate on it for a period and if she hadn’t gotten to the top I think she would have given it up. It isn’t a case of Dorothy preferring a career to a happy marriage.” Steve’s last chat was with a girl who used to live at the Studio Club with Dorothy: “She’s strong — knows what she wants. A week or so before a big premiere came up, the M-G-M press agent asked Dorothy who she was taking to the preem. Dorothy said she wasn’t going to go. He tried to pressure her into going. Although she was very nice about it, I could see she was determined not to go. But I couldn’t determine whether Dorothy didn’t have the appropriate date or she just couldn’t stand the limelight of a premiere.” Is Dorothy just a shy person who hates the center of attention in a large crowd? One who doesn’t have the confidence to just stand up and say ‘I don’t want to do that’? Steve Matthews wondered as he concluded his last interview and packed up his fat sheaf of notes. Does she feel she must appear cooperative and nice to everyone? He’d once read a statement Dorothy made to the effect that she liked being “old” in the business, knowing the crews and the people she works with. A further indication of her insecurity and feeling ill-at-ease with strangers? It was early Friday evening. He had the facts. And he’d take a few hours to read over the notes, discard all but the most important, and pound out his story. He stopped for a light at Hollywood and Vine, shot the breeze with the cop on the beat, one of the regulars on the force, and made a left turn. The weekend movie and nightclub crowd jammed the street. It was a wet night and smog enveloped the city. A good night to be home with the slippers and pipe and a good yarn — like The Strange Case of Dorothy Malone. The End Sex and your Perspiration By Valda Sherman Did you know there are two kinds of perspiration? “Physical,” caused by work or exertion; and “nervous,” stimulated by emotion or sexual excitement. Doctors say that this “sex perspiration” is the big offender in underarm stains and odor. It is caused by special glands that are bigger, more powerful, pour out more perspiration. And this kind of perspiration causes the most offensive odor. Science has discovered that a deodorant needs a special ingredient specifically formulated to overcome this offensive “sex perspiration” odor. And now it’s here . . . the remarkable ingredient Perstop*— the most effective, yet the gentlest odor-stopping ingredient ever discovered — and available only in the new cream deodorant ARRID. Use ARRID daily and you’ll be amazed how quickly this new ARRID with Perstop* penetrates deep into the pores and stops this “sex perspiration” odor. Stops it as no “roll-on,” spray-on, or stick deodorant could ever do. You rub ARRID in — rub perspiration out . . . rub arrid in — rub odor out. When the cream vanishes, you know you are safe, even when you are nervous or stimulated by emotion or sexual excitement. Doctors have proved that this new arrid with Perstop* is actually IV2 times as effective as all leading deodorants tested. Remember— nothing protects you like a cream . . . and no cream protects you like arrid with Perstop*. So don’t be half-safe. Be completely safe. Use arrid with Perstop* to be sure.
