of the Fashion Sitting with CATHERINE McLEOD By Rena Firth
The first thing that impresses you about Catherine McLeod is her eyes. When she walked into Ben’s studio for Photoplay’s fashion sitting she was like all the pretty girls of America — yet different. The difference lay in her extraordinary hazel eyes, shadowed by naturally heavy, lovely eyebrows, with a slight uptilt to her eyelids that suggests the fabled ladies of the Nile.
Catherine is the Cinderella girl of movies. Competing with a dozen "name” actresses she, an unknown, won the coveted role of Myra in "I’ve Always Loved You.” And in it she proved to the hilt that she is a new and exciting personality.
There was opportunity to analyze that personality as she posed in the sport clothes shown on previous pages. Catherine, although no more than casually interested in clothes just now, has a theory you can look like a queen in anything if you’ll wear it like a queen. For instance, recently she wore an inexpensive little evening jacket to a big party. When a gentleman of discernment complimented her on how well she looked, she frankly announced it had cost under $10. Whereupon the gentleman of discernment looked at once mildly incredulous and very admiring.
When Catherine arrived at the Ben Studios for the fashion sitting she wore a simple black dress with a white top and a short black jacket. No hat. Her hair, thick and brown, was combed high at the sides and worn in a full high bang in front. Her slim figure needed no girdle and as a model, she was a natural. Her sense of humor was adequate to the strain of posing — a healthy "Yipes” punctuating the completion of her first pose.
In California, Catherine, who is 22, weighs 116 pounds and is 5' 514" tab> lives with a married sister in Alhambra. She’s a great reader — reads all the good magazines every week and really keeps up to date on current events. She’s an excellent pianist and a good swimmer. And she has an interesting set of rules for girls ambitious for a movie career:
1. Have some money in the bank — about $1,000.
2. Get a good agent. Catherine looked hers up in Dun and Bradstreet’s.
3. Go into summer stock or little theater for experience.
4. Don’t go to the studios. Let them come to you.
5. Once you sign, do as they tell you.
6. Don’t try to copy anyone else. If there should be a choice between you and an established actress, she would win, of course. So be yourself.
Catherine knows these rules work. She used them.
