upon arising in the morning, he has a glass of orange juice. When he starts eating, he can really pack it away. He is a typical movie fan. and goes to the movies often. His favorite actress is Photoplay’s Gold Medal Lady, Ingrid Bergman. His favorite actor is Spencer Tracy. He would like to make a picture with Bergman, and he would also like to do one with Barbara Stanwyck who, like Margaret Sullavan, he considers a very fine actress. If he weren’t a star himself, he’d probably be stopping the stars and asking them for autographs. In fact, after he got out of the Army, he visited Metro and took a look at Van Johnson, this phenomenon who developed while he was away, for he wanted to see what the bobby-soxers shriek at and go for. Then about a week later, while exiting from a department store in Beverly Hills, he was besieged by bobby-soxers who wanted bits of his new civilian suit. “I’m not Van Johnson,” he said, smiling. “We know it,” shouted a bobbysoxer, “but you send us, too.” He atnuses himself by playing the accordion. His favorite selection is “Sweet Sue.” He plays the flute secretly. He doesn’t get angry quickly or often. In fact he hasn’t been angry for too long. When he gets angry, he stutters. His favorite outdoor sport is golf, and he plays a good game. His golf partner is usually Bill Grady, Metro casting chief, an old friend. Other friends are the Leland Haywards (Margaret Sullavan),. the Fondas and Cary Grant. He wears well. He has romantic appeal off the screen as well as on. He is the shy type with the girls. He has good taste, having been romantic with such lovelies as Olivia de Havilland and Rita Hayworth. A recent romance was Anita Colby. He is silent about his romances. He will go with an actress for weeks before he tries to kiss her. It is his slow approach that makes them believe that he is different. He shaves himself once a day, prefers a shower to a tub, and is ticklish. He sleeps alone in a large bed, for he likes and needs plenty of room. Before the war he was a pajama sleeper, but now he sleeps in the nude. He has no regular hours for going to bed. He goes to bed when he’s tired. He is eager to get married, settle down, have a home and a number of Jimmy Stewarts. And he’s a determined fellow!
