Photoplay (Jan-Jun 1962)

married and very much in love in every way. Bob was the only thing in her life. She was trying to please him in every way. “It was Bob who did not want them to have publicity, as man and wife, so she agreed. I do not think this was good for her career, but I did not say so. She had been on fifty magazine covers the year before she became Mrs. Wagner. After marriage, she wasn’t on any. “She tried very hard to turn herself into a housewife and a hostess.” Lana interrupted her mother. Lana’s voice is exactly like Natalie’s. She looks very like Natalie, too, except that she is taller and wears her dark hair “streaked.” Her mother doesn’t entirely approve of this fad, and says she hopes Lana gets over it, just as Natalie got over her teenage fancy for dangling earrings. “Until she got married, Nat couldn’t even turn on the gas stove, let alone cook!” Lana giggled. “But then I can’t cook either.” “I wish Natalie and Bob had not had so much bad luck while they were married,” her mother said. “The first year of their marriage Natalie had her contract fight with Warners, so she had a lot of time on her hands. Then just as she got going again, Bob went for a year and a half without a picture, and Natalie was working too hard and too long. They had said they would never play together, but they made ‘All the Fine Young Cannibals.’ It was a flop. Natalie had to go to New York to make ‘Splendor in the Grass’ and Bob went with her, sitting on the set every day. That isn’t really good for a man.” Also, as the whole world knows now, Natalie and Bob had begun to remodel a Beverly Hills house at the beginning of 1960. They had started their married life in a tiny house in Laurel Canyon, which is distinctly unfashionable. Then they got a place in the hills with marble bathtubs sent over from Italy, a private salt water swimming pool, imported crystal chandeliers and built-in poker tables. But everything went wrong with their building. They had three different conI tractors on the job. Their ornate staircase I wobbled as they tried to climb it. Natalie’s marble bathtub slipped and made the downstairs ceiling fall. “With Bob and Natalie in New York,” her mother said, “some of the workmen took advantage of their absence and did nothing. Natalie was very disgusted when i they returned home. She was tired and 1 worn out, too, and went too quickly into dance rehearsals for ‘West Side Story.’ ■ She has always been frail and subject to !' small illnesses, and when she does not have a real illness, she imagines one. This time, she had a tonsil operation and nearly died. ; “By then, the house was coming along beautifully, with only the living room and the dining room waiting to be done — but they separated. They had put such a fortune into that house. They put it on the market for $155,000 — but they had much more money than that in it.” After the separation, Natalie didn’t move back to Laurel Canyon, you may be sure. She has climbed too high for that. She moved into swank Bel-Air. Bob Wagner went to France to be in “The Longest Day.” Then Warren Beatty came out to Hollywood from New York. The gossip about ! Let’s talk frankly about internal cleanliness Day before yesterday, many women hesitated to talk about the douche even to their best friends, let alone to a doctor or druggist. Today, thank goodness, women are beginning to discuss these things freely and openly. But — even now — many women don’t realize what is involved in treating “the delicate zone.” They don’t ask. Nobody tells them. So they use homemade solutions which may not be completely effective, or some antiseptics which may be harsh or inflammatory. It’s time to talk frankly about internal cleanliness. Here are the facts: tissues in “the delicate zone” are very tender. Odors are very persistent. Your comfort and wellbeing demand a special preparation for the douche. Today there is such a preparation. This preparation is far more effective in antiseptic and germicidal action than old-fashioned homemade solutions. It is far safer to delicate tissues than other liquid antiseptics for the douche. It cleanses, freshens, eliminates odor, guards against chafing, relaxes and promotes confidence. This is modern woman’s way to internal cleanliness. It is the personal antiseptic for women, made specifically for “the delicate zone.” It is called Zonite®. Complete instructions for use come in every package. In cases of persistent discharge, women are advised to see their doctors. Millions of women already consider Zonite as important a part of their grooming as their bath. ’vz fv Guaranteed by YOU Owe It l Good Housekeeping , to yourself to try Zonite.
