Photoplay (Jan-Jun 1948)

"Will and Me" ( Continued from page 43) bundle of femininity— two-and-a-half-year-old Bronwyn Bridget Price. And this description will have to be sufficient, because there has never yet been, and there never will be, a likeness published of the little girl. “In this way,” says her doting mother, “she can have privacy and grow up naturally.” Bronwyn led me solemnly into the library where her mama was waiting with tea and cookies. Then Bronwyn resumed her chief occupation— telephoning on her toy instrument. She kept it up all during our two-hour visit. The telephone make-believe was especially amusing because I’ve never yet seen Maureen but that she wasn’t hanging on to the telephone talking for seemingly hours on end. “It’s a terrible problem,” said Maureen, indicating her chubby daughter who had just laughed uproariously at something said by the non-existent person at the other end of her phone, “not to let her know how cute she is.” But there’s nothing of the spoiled brat about Bronwyn, although she is completely un-selfconscious and an actress to her small fingertips. “We used to make Bronwyn sit at the table until she’d finished every scrap of food. Sometimes she’d be there for an hour and a half. She learned to accept our rules for her, and not her own.” The result is good. You’ve never seen a healthier child in your life. “She’s never had a cold and she’s only been sick once,” said her mother. “That was a year ago when we moved into our house. Bronwyn had the croup and a temperature of a hundred and five! We moved her crib into our bedroom and Will and I sat up with her all night. I’ll never forget it.” MACJREEN, who comes from a large family, is desperately anxious to have more children. “I don’t like to think of Bronwyn’s growing up by herself. You see there’s no one here for her to play with, except one little friend, Sandra Gray, and she’s away right now in Idaho. Bronwyn is lonely. If another year goes by without any prospect of my having another child. Will and I are going to adopt some children. But I’m not too depressed because a fortune teller in Ireland told me that I’d have two redheaded sons!” Maureen is as superstitious as all get out! On her visit to Ireland last fall, she not only consulted the Irish fortuneteller she’d known since she was a girl, but she had her nurse, Eleanor, see her as well. “And she told Eleanor,” reported her mistress happily, “that she will stay with Bronwyn for two more years. After some of the nurse trouble I had in the beginning, that’s a big relief!” “But what did she tell you?” I asked. “Well, before I had Bronwyn, she predicted that she’d look like her Dad. And she does!” There was a triumphant glint in her eye. “This time she told me to expect two redheaded sons, and she said that Bronwyn would be an actress and there was nothing I could do to stop it. And she said there would be a fire at my studio, and there was — some of the scenes in ‘Amber’ burned up. And she said that in three years’ time I will have reached the top of my movie career and that three good pictures will do it.” Which is interesting in view of her being seen currently in “Sinbad” with “Home Stretch” to come out shortly in The Stars Model Photoplay Fashions on Page 91 yet rely on this inexpensive, easy way to KEEP HAIR SHINING BRIGHT Leaves Hair Teeming With Natural Dazzling Lustre — Helps IKeep Hair From Becoming Dry and Brittle Would you like your hair to radiate its natural dazzling highlights and satin sheen like gorgeous Powers Models?
